The Hedonist Extrait opens with a vivid combination of grapefruit and bergamot sharpened by fresh ginger. The citrus feels bright and energetic, while the ginger adds a spicy lift that immediately gives the fragrance more texture.

As the opening settles, Akigalawood™ and cedarwood move forward, creating a dry, modern woody character. Lychee introduces a subtle fruity sweetness that contrasts with the textured woods without turning the composition overly sweet.

The dry down becomes warmer and more substantial as ambery woods, vetiver, tonka bean, and patchouli provide depth. The brighter citrus and fruit remain connected to the woody base, creating a fragrance that feels fresh and rich at the same time.

The result is a sophisticated citrus-woody composition with spicy, fruity, amber-toned, and earthy facets.

The Hedonist Extrait is designed as a more intense interpretation of the original Ex Nihilo The Hedonist. It retains the recognizable citrus, ginger, and woody character while adding grapefruit, lychee, patchouli, and a greater emphasis on textured woods.

The Extrait feels fuller and deeper through the dry down while preserving the freshness that defines the original fragrance.

If you enjoy The Hedonist but want a richer and more substantial interpretation of its woody DNA, the Extrait is especially worth sampling.

The Hedonist Extrait combines bright citrus with a substantial concentration of woods, patchouli, vetiver, tonka bean, and ambery materials, giving the fragrance a noticeable presence as it develops.

Individual longevity, projection, and sillage will vary depending on skin chemistry, climate, application, and environment.

Especially well suited for:

• Spring and fall
• Mild and cooler weather
• Daytime and evening wear
• Date nights
• Dinners and evenings out
• Upscale casual wear
• Special occasions
• Signature-scent use

Sampling Ex Nihilo The Hedonist Extrait allows you to experience its citrus opening, woody heart, fruity lychee facet, and warmer amber-tonka dry down on your own skin before purchasing a full-size bottle.

Sampling can also help if you already own or have tried the original The Hedonist and want to compare the differences between the two versions before deciding which one better suits your collection.

Fragrance samples and travel sprays are also a convenient way to explore luxury fragrances, rotate between multiple scents, and travel without carrying a full-size bottle.
