Ex Nihilo Brompton Immortals Extrait

Description

A luminous saffron-and-rose extrait wrapped in warm vanilla and curling incense — Ex Nihilo at its most refined.

Composed by perfumer Jordi Fernández for the Parisian house Ex Nihilo and released in 2023 as an Extrait de Parfum, Brompton Immortals opens cold and sparkling before melting into an elegant floral heart and a creamy, resinous base. Originally a Harrods exclusive, reviewers describe it as a sophisticated, all-day signature with serious staying power.

Translation: a rose-forward floral lifted by peppery saffron, sweetened with Madagascar vanilla, and grounded by smoky olibanum and patchouli. Refined and warm rather than loud.

FAQ

Is this the Extrait or the original Eau de Parfum?
This is the 2023 Extrait de Parfum — a stronger, longer-lasting concentration than the original Brompton Immortals EDP.

Does it contain oud?
No. The smoky depth comes from olibanum (frankincense) and patchouli, not agarwood. It reads warm and resinous rather than oud-heavy.

Is it for men or women?
It is unisex — a saffron, rose, and vanilla composition that suits all genders.

How long will a 1mL sample last?
A 1mL decant gives roughly 8 to 12 wearings — plenty to test longevity and projection across a few days.
