It's an interesting experience to smell this chemical once, and see what it does on the skin, but it's pretty horrible. There's a reason it's blended with other things to make proper perfume. This is industrial, plasticky, glue-like vetiver, with car interior and a dash of something you'd use to clean your oven. Immediate scrubber, never again. (showering) And of course it's impossible to remove, although after a thorough scouring it's less repulsiv at least.

I'm wearing Guidance on one arm and Guidance 46 on the other. Guidance is very Bisch. It immediately reminds me of Encelade, but with more depth and sweetness (though nowhere near as sweet as the Extrait version). I quickly start to pick up on a sort of foot-cheese, sweaty off note, which doesn't put me off exactly but I can see why I would deter others. The sillage is giving me pretty perfume while the up close sniff is sweaty jock-strap (none of that in the Extrait). I like this, it's not my thing, as quite honestly I'd rather wear Encelade, it's more edgy, but this smells opulent and performs very well, of course. The Extrait does seem smoother and more refined, but it also lacks the hook. It's way sweeter and more incensey. I wish they'd upped the weirdness rather than the sweetness.

I'm not sure if my miniature has turned, but to me this is half perfume half burrito. The coriander is SO strong and something about this with the cinammon is too culinary for my taste (boom).

Sniffing my way through ten samples from this house, and I'm realising they're mostly syrupy sugar-bombs, and this is one of the sweetest of them all. If that's your thing, you might like this but this type of perfume is nauseating to me after 10 minutes max.

Sickly, cloying, cheap-smelling, diabetes-inducingly sweet. In the wheelhouse of masculine JPG fragrances but more obnoxious if such a thing is possible.

Scratchy, toxic, cheap-smelling, loud, needy, macho, just absolutely awful.

Lavender-filled condoms.

The notes listed don't represent what I'm smelling. For me it's strong tonka, rose, fruit (as a review said below, blueberries) and saffron. The other notes are there if I squint and use my imagination. It starts well, smelling opulent and complex but quickly the brightness fades from the top notes and it becomes sickly, cloying and cheap-smelling.

A horrible, monstrous, synthetic tuberose nightmare. Screechy and scratchy as I've come to expect from this brand.

私はEx Nihiloの全ラインを試しましたが、これほど多くの香水があるにもかかわらず、限界を押し広げるものは基本的にありません。彼らは試行錯誤されたアイデアを取り入れ、細部まで精密に仕上げることを好み、粗い部分はありません。彼らの香水はすべて強力で、これも例外ではありません。また、すべての香水には目立つ合成ウッディアンバーのベースがあり、これは挑戦的だと思いますが、私にとっては興味深いものではなく、むしろ気分を害し、ドライダウンの長い過程で次第に気になるようになります。これは非常に使い古されたメンズデザイナーフォーミュラに対する、能力のある洗練されたアプローチです。悪くはありませんが、それだけです、ただ悪くないだけです。おそらく、この香りのプロファイルがこれほど普及する前の10年から15年前には、もっと高く評価していたでしょう。
