Ex Nihilo Spiky Muse Eau de Parfum 100ml is a sweet, rosy and nutty fragrance for men and women. It opens with upcycled natural strawberry, bergamot and pink pepper, blooms into a heart of rose absolutes and a pistachio accord, and settles on a base of cedarwood, Akigalawood™, Ambrofix™ and tonka bean.
About Ex Nihilo Spiky Muse
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.
Ex Nihilo calls Spiky Muse "muse turned artist". It is a portrait of powerful, creative femininity, built around the rose, which the house calls the queen of flowers and a lasting source of inspiration for artists. Perfumer Louise Turner wrapped the rose in a sweetness made from natural strawberry extract, produced through an upcycling process, and a creamy pistachio accord. Spicy woods in the base give it the "spiky" edge that keeps the sweetness in check.

What Does Ex Nihilo Spiky Muse Smell Like?
The opening is juicy and playful. Strawberry gives a sweet, red-fruit note, bergamot adds freshness and pink pepper brings a light, rosy spice.
In the heart, rose absolutes create a rich, velvety rose and the pistachio accord adds a creamy, nutty sweetness. It feels modern and delicious.
In the base, Akigalawood™ gives a spicy, woody edge, cedarwood keeps it dry and clean, Ambrofix™ adds an ambery glow and tonka bean brings soft sweetness. The result is sweet, rosy and gently spiky.
Key Ingredients Explained
- Strawberry: Strawberry adds a juicy, sweet and playful red-fruit note.
- Rose Absolute: Rose absolute is a rich, concentrated rose extract with a deep, honeyed and velvety floral scent.
- Pistachio: Pistachio gives a creamy, nutty and gently sweet gourmand note.
- Akigalawood: Akigalawood™ is a modern patchouli-derived note with a spicy, peppery and woody character.
- Ambrofix: Ambrofix™ is a refined ambery-woody molecule with a warm, clean and long-lasting radiance on skin.
- Tonka Bean: Tonka bean gives a creamy, almond-vanilla sweetness with a hint of hay.
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. Its woody, ambery base gives Spiky Muse a warm, sweet trail that lasts comfortably.
When to Wear Spiky Muse
- Date nights: Sweet and seductive.
- Parties and celebrations: Playful and fun.
- Autumn and winter: Nutty sweetness feels cosy.
- Daytime outings: A spray or two works well.
- Shared fragrance: Unisex, for men and women.
Who Is It For?
Spiky Muse is for men and women who love sweet, rosy perfumes with a gourmand twist. For a fresh Riviera rose, try Ex Nihilo Lust In Paradise; for a sweet floral praline, try Ex Nihilo Explicite.
Why Choose Spiky Muse?
Spiky Muse brings together a rich rose and gourmand notes like strawberry and pistachio, making it fun and modern. The spicy woods stop it from feeling too sugary, and the rose keeps it elegant. It is a great choice for anyone who wants a sweet rose with a creative, contemporary twist.
How to Wear and Layer It
- Spray on neck, chest and wrists.
- Two to three sprays are enough for most occasions.
- Apply on moisturised skin for better longevity.
- For evenings, a light mist on clothes adds to the trail.
Layering tip: Wear it alone, or layer it with a light vanilla for an even creamier gourmand drydown.
Good to Know
The strawberry in Spiky Muse comes from a natural extract made through an upcycling process, which reuses materials that would otherwise go to waste. It reflects a growing interest in responsible ingredients in modern perfumery.
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.
