Lust in Paradise Extrait de Parfum by Ex Nihilo Paris is the most concentrated, most sensual take on the House's French Riviera signature. Created by master perfumer Louise Turner and part of the Quintessence Collection, it trades the airy lightness of the original for golden, sunset warmth.
The fragrance opens with vibrant blackcurrant and pink pepper, lifted by Rosyfolia™ and the subtle heat of red ginger. At its heart, Petalia™, rose absolute and jasmine sambac bloom into a soft, glowing floral. As it settles, Akigalawood™, cedarwood, Ambrofix™ and sensual musks leave a warm, addictive trail that lasts.
Luminous but grounded, Lust in Paradise Extrait is for anyone who wants their fragrance to make a statement while staying refined and easy to wear. A unisex composition from Ex Nihilo's Haute Parfumerie line, made for evenings, special occasions and anyone drawn to florals with real depth.

Frequently asked questions
What does Lust in Paradise Extrait smell like?
Lust in Paradise Extrait is a fruity floral amber. Expect blackcurrant, pink pepper and red ginger up top, rose absolute and jasmine sambac in the heart, and a warm base of Akigalawood™, cedarwood, Ambrofix™ and musks.
Is Lust in Paradise Extrait stronger than the original?
Yes. Extrait de parfum is the highest fragrance concentration, so it lasts longer and develops a richer drydown. It is a reworked composition rather than simply a stronger version.
