Why an extrait de parfum discovery set

Extrait de parfum is the highest fragrance concentration a perfume house produces. Compared with the eau de parfum versions, these Quintessence Extraits wear closer to the skin at first, then bloom with greater depth, longer wear and a more resinous, textured drydown. A discovery set is the most considered way to live with all six before committing to a full bottle.

Who this set is for

From radiant florals and sensual woods to addictive amber compositions, the set offers an immersive way to experience the depth and creativity of Ex Nihilo. It suits fragrance enthusiasts and collectors, travelers who want a niche perfume wardrobe in carry-on size, anyone new to luxury niche perfume, and gift shoppers looking for a considered present under $100 for Father's Day, Mother's Day, birthdays, and the holidays.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a 2mL perfume sample last?

A 2mL spray vial holds roughly 20 to 25 sprays. Worn daily that is about a week to ten days per fragrance, which is enough time to judge how an Extrait develops on your skin across a full wear.

What is the difference between extrait de parfum and eau de parfum?

Extrait de parfum carries a higher concentration of perfume oil than eau de parfum. It generally lasts longer, projects more softly at first, and reveals richer base notes. The Quintessence Extraits are reworked compositions rather than simply stronger versions of the original eaux de parfum.

Which fragrances are in the Ex Nihilo Quintessence Discovery Set?

Fleur Narcotique, Outcast Blue, Blue Talisman, Lust in Paradise, Gold Immortals and The Hedonist, each as a 2mL Extrait de Parfum spray.

Is this Ex Nihilo discovery set authentic?

Yes. Mood by DMJ is an exclusive Ex Nihilo retailer in Louisiana and every set ships new and sealed.

Is the discovery set a good gift?

It is one of the easiest luxury fragrance gifts to get right, because the recipient chooses their own signature rather than being given one.
