Ex Nihilo Cologne 352 Eau De Parfum For Unisex

Ex Nihilo Cologne 352 Eau de Parfum is a fresh, delicate cologne-style Eau de Parfum for men and women. It opens with Italian lemon, moves into a heart of orange blossom, rose and lily of the valley, and settles on a base of white cedarwood, white musk and a touch of guaiac wood.

About Ex Nihilo Cologne 352

Ex Nihilo is a Parisian haute perfumery house founded in 2013 by Benoît Verdier, Sylvie Loday and Olivier Royère. Its name is Latin for "out of nothing", or created from scratch, and its first boutique opened at 352 rue Saint-Honoré in Paris, close to Place Vendôme. The house says its perfumers work with complete creative freedom, without limits on materials or cost. Ex Nihilo is also known for the Osmologue, a technology in its boutiques that lets customers personalise selected fragrances.

Cologne 352 is named after Ex Nihilo's first address, 352 rue Saint-Honoré in Paris, and the house calls it the olfactory signature of that boutique. It is a delicate, surprising interpretation of a skin cologne, designed to be very appealing. The overall effect is bright and fresh, like a morning walk through a Paris garden. Perfumer Jacques Huclier gave it the sparkle of a classic cologne with the depth and lasting power of an Eau de Parfum.

What Does Ex Nihilo Cologne 352 Smell Like?

The opening is sparkling and clean. Italian lemon gives a bright, zesty freshness that feels instantly refreshing.

In the heart, orange blossom brings a luminous, honeyed floral note, rose adds softness and lily of the valley gives a fresh, dewy brightness.

In the base, white cedarwood keeps it airy and dry, white musk gives a clean, just-showered softness and a hint of guaiac wood adds gentle warmth. The result is fresh, floral and skin-like.

Key Ingredients Explained

• Lemon: Italian lemon gives a sharp, sparkling and clean citrus freshness.
• Orange Blossom: Orange blossom gives a luminous, honeyed white-floral glow.
• Lily of the Valley: Lily of the valley adds a fresh, dewy, green-floral brightness.
• Rose: Rose brings a velvety, romantic floral sweetness; in Arabian perfumery it is the classic partner to oud and saffron.
• White Musk: White musk is a clean, powdery, just-showered musk that adds softness.
• Guaiac Wood: Guaiac wood is a soft, smoky wood with a slightly sweet, tar-like warmth.

Longevity and Performance

As an Eau de Parfum, it has a higher concentration of perfume oils than an Eau de Toilette, so it lasts well and leaves a noticeable trail. Longevity depends on skin type, weather and the amount applied, but two to four sprays are usually enough. Cologne 352 lasts longer than a classic cologne while keeping its fresh, clean feel.

When to Wear Cologne 352

• Daytime and office: Clean and fresh.
• Summer: Ideal for Indian heat.
• After a shower: A just-showered feel.
• Brunches and lunches: Light and pleasant.
• Shared fragrance: Unisex, for men and women.

Who Is It For?

Cologne 352 is for men and women who love fresh, clean and citrus-floral scents. For a soft musk skin scent, try Ex Nihilo Musc Infini; for a soft orange blossom and iris, try Ex Nihilo Honoré Delights.

Why Choose Cologne 352?

Cologne 352 is a great everyday fragrance for hot Indian weather. Lemon makes it instantly refreshing, the orange blossom and rose heart adds elegance and the white musk base keeps it clean and close. It is the scent of the house's own boutique, which makes it a meaningful introduction to Ex Nihilo.

How to Wear and Layer It

1. Spray on neck, wrists and chest after a shower.
2. Three to four sprays work well for daytime.
3. Apply on moisturised skin for better longevity.
4. A light mist on clothes extends the trail.

Layering tip: Wear it alone for a clean daytime scent, or layer it over Musc Infini for a softer, longer-lasting skin cologne.

Good to Know

Number 352 rue Saint-Honoré is where Ex Nihilo opened its first boutique in Paris. Cologne 352 belongs to the house's early collection and was created as the scent of that address.

How to Store Your Perfume

Keep your perfume in its box, away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity. In Indian weather, avoid leaving it in a car or a steamy bathroom; a cool cupboard or drawer is ideal. Always close the cap tightly after use, as heat and air can change the scent over time.
