Description Ex Nihilo The Hedonist Extrait is a deeper, more potent reinterpretation of the brand's cult fruity-woody signature — the same bright thrill, dialed up to extrait intensity. Created by perfumer Jordi Fernández for the French house Ex Nihilo and launched in 2024, this extrait de parfum enriches the original 2021 The Hedonist with greater depth and tenacity. Sparkling grapefruit and ginger open over the brand's signature Akigalawood, settling into a warm, refined woody base. Reviewers describe it as a polished, intimate woody-fruity that wears effortlessly day or night. Scent Character Woody — 50% Sweet — 21% Fresh — 14% Spicy — 14% Translation: a smooth woody heart wrapped in juicy fruit and a soft sweetness, with a fresh-spicy citrus-ginger lift up top. Modern, unisex, and easy to wear.
