Description
Description
Ex Nihilo Atlas Fever is a deep, woody-amber gourmand from the house's Babylone collection, composed by perfumer Shyamala Maisondieu and launched in 2017. Built around smoky incense and tart red berries over a warm sandalwood-cedar-vanilla base, it channels a rock-and-roll, desert-caravan mood: edgy, plush, and unmistakably niche.
