Ex Nihilo

FranceSay it eks nee-ee-LOH · Latin, 'out of nothing'

Parisian niche perfumes made with named star perfumers, best known for the fruity floral Fleur Narcotique.

Three friends from the luxury trade, Sylvie Loday, Olivier Royère and Benoît Verdier, founded Ex Nihilo in Paris in 2013, giving perfumers free rein. Its flagships let customers adjust a perfume on a blending machine, the Osmologue; Eurazeo bought a minority stake in 2024.

Owned by

Owned mainly by its three founders, with Eurazeo holding a minority stake since 2024. Checked October 2026.
