Throwing a party is one thing; creating an unforgettable moment is another—and that’s precisely what Scentbird and Ex Nihilo do best. We hosted an exclusive launch celebration for Blue Talisman Extrait, the latest evolution of one of the house’s most beloved scents. Not only did we get the first spritz, we also played games, won prizes and samples, and mingled with the founder and his team for a behind-the-scenes look at what makes Ex Nihilo a brand adored by the likes of Travis Kelce and Hailey Bieber.
We also did a side-by-side comparison of the original Blue Talisman and the new Extrait. While the OG dazzles with its bright, zingy opening, the Extrait takes you somewhere deeper, denser, and altogether a bit darker. Many think an extrait is simply a stronger version of the original, but this one proves it can be so much more.
From the very first spritz, juicy pear and golden amber take center stage, wrapped in orange blossom and jasmine that glow like honey-dipped petals. As it dries down, vanilla and sandalwood blend seamlessly into an amber-musk base that feels plush, addictive, and almost narcotic in its allure. It’s nocturnal, sensual, and softer-leaning than the original, but versatile enough to wear every day—whether at the office, on a night out, or anywhere in between.
Blue Talisman Extrait skips the airy “blue” citrus opening of the OG, heading straight for ripe pear and warm depth, resulting in a fragrance that’s darker, more mysterious, and designed for those ready to embrace a bolder, more seductive, very suggestive side of Ex Nihilo.
Trust us—you’re going to want this in your rotation.
