Founded in Paris in 2013 by Sylvie Loday, Olivier Royère, and Benoît Verdier, Ex Nihilo emerged from a desire to disrupt the traditional codes of high perfumery. The name, Latin for "created from nothing," reflects its mission to offer a modern, uncompromising vision of fragrance, inspired by the French avant-garde. The founders, none of whom were traditional perfumers, leveraged their diverse backgrounds in the luxury sector to build a brand that champions creative freedom, giving renowned perfumers carte blanche to work without cost or material constraints. The result is a collection of distinctive, genderless scents that blend the finest natural raw materials with innovative synthetic molecules.
