One of the things I really love about Ex Nihilo is how they use modern fragrance molecules with such finesse that their creations feel effortlessly elegant. Their scents often come across as refined but never boring, there’s always something interesting or unexpected. They walk the line between high-concept niche and sheer wearability with poise, and Spiky Muse is a perfect example of that balance.

Amouage has launched the seventh in its line of extraits: the extrait version of Guidance, one of the most admired and awarded fragrance of last year.

The debut of new fragrances in the Chanel Les Exclusifs line always generates great anticipation.
