We are doing it today, you all: I’m ranking my Ex Nihilo Paris fragrance collection—all 11 bottles—because this house was my favorite of 2025, and clearly… I did not come to play. Ranking videos are always personal, so yes, some of my takes might have you like, “Wait, what?” but I’m walking you through exactly why each scent landed where it did, based on what I actually reach for, what works in certain seasons, and what just isn’t speaking to me. I start at the bottom with the original Blue Talisman (controversial, I know), because on my skin it leans a bit more masculine and I simply don’t grab it. From there I move through cozy cold-weather picks like Santal Calling, mood-based spicy gourmand vibes like Explicit, and powerhouse special-occasion energy with Brompton Immortals. Then we get into the real loves: Gold Immortals Extrait (because the pear + tonka is done right), Blue Talisman Extrait (way more feminine-friendly to my nose), and the fruity-floral happiness of Fleur Narcotique. And when we hit the top three, it gets serious: Lust In Paradise is pure spring femininity, the Riviera Edition is warm, flowy sundress perfection, and my number one is Fleur Narcotique Extrait—dense, richer, and signature-scent worthy. If you’re building an Ex Nihilo wardrobe, this ranking will help you figure out what to sample first and what might be more situational.
