Founded in Paris in 2013 by Sylvie Loday, Olivier Royère and Benoît Verdier, Ex Nihilo creates contemporary, free-spirited and customisable haute perfumery. The house made its mark with its Osmologue, then accelerated its development when Eurazeo acquired a stake in 2024, followed by L Catterton’s arrival in 2026.
Ex Nihilo combines creative freedom, carefully selected raw materials and technical innovation. Its fragrances are composed by renowned perfumers and can then be customised using the Osmologue, a device developed by the house. Its Parisian aesthetic blends faceted glass, clean lines and golden details.
Right now at Fragsplit, 2 Ex Nihilo fragrances are available as 1 to 10 ml decants: Amber Sky, Blue Talisman.
