Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique 🌸
Tuesday morning in NY, and today I reached for Fleur Narcotique from Ex Nihilo.
With summer beginning to wind down, I’ve been looking through the warmer-weather side of my collection and realizing there are a number of fragrances I haven’t reached for nearly enough this season.
Pretty soon I’ll start transitioning into my fall and colder-weather rotation, and some of these bottles may sit untouched for quite a while. So over these last few weeks of summer, I’m making a point of getting reacquainted with a few of them.
Fleur Narcotique was an easy choice today.
It opens with lychee, bergamot and peach, giving it a fresh, slightly juicy quality right away. From there, the floral side really begins to come through with peony, orange blossom and jasmine, before settling into a softer base of musk, moss and woods.
What I enjoy about this one is how airy it feels.
There is plenty of floral character here, but it never feels heavy or overly sweet. The fruit gives it brightness, the florals keep it elegant, and the musky woody base gives everything just enough structure.
It is also another good reminder that I don’t really think about fragrance in terms of what is supposed to be “masculine” or “feminine.”
If it smells good to me and I enjoy wearing it, that’s really the only test that matters. 😎
On a late-August Tuesday here on Long Island, this feels fresh, polished and very easy to wear.
And with fall not too far away, I’m going to enjoy these brighter summer fragrances while I still can.
Bright, floral, clean and just a little different — Fleur Narcotique is a nice one to revisit before the seasons change.🌸
Wishing you all a fantastic Tuesday!!
