French Affair

French Affair, a Fresh Rose Floral

Ex Nihilo French Affair is a fresh rose floral. Our version keeps that feel, opening with bergamot and apple before a rose and jasmine heart settles over musk and sandalwood.

The Story Behind the Scent

Ex Nihilo built French Affair as a soft, elegant floral, all fresh fruit and radiant rose. The idea was a refined, effortless Parisian charm.

That fresh elegance is its appeal. The bergamot and apple keep it bright, the rose and jasmine add a soft floral warmth, and the musk and sandalwood keep it smooth. Our interpretation follows that same refined path.
