Description
Description
Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique Extrait is the deepened, more opulent reading of the cult floral that put this Parisian house on the map.
Composed by perfumer Quentin Bisch for Ex Nihilo (Paris) and released in 2022, this extrait de parfum takes the beloved lychee-and-peony signature and concentrates it into something richer and longer-wearing. Reviewers describe it as a smooth, compliment-pulling musky floral — a more intense sibling to the original Fleur Narcotique, with the same watery peony glow wrapped in soft white florals and a creamy musk drydown.

Translation: a luminous floral heart — lychee and peony front and center — grounded by soft sandalwood and mossy musk, with a touch of fruity sweetness and an airy, watery lift.

Performance
Longevity: Strong — the extrait concentration typically lasts 8–10+ hours on skin, with the scent lingering on clothing well beyond that. Reviewers consistently call the longevity very good to excellent.
Sillage: Generous — it projects confidently in the opening hours before settling into a closer, skin-following musky floral.
Projection: Above average up close; expect a comfortable bubble rather than a room-filling cloud after the first few hours.
