Spiky Muse

By Louise Turner

"Ex Nihilo Spiky Muse is a captivating unisex fragrance that harmoniously blends vibrant fruity notes with rich woody accords. The refreshing burst of bergamot and pink pepper dances with the sweetness of strawberry, evolving into a lush heart of rose absolute and pistachio. The base, featuring Akigalawood® and tonka bean, adds depth and allure."
