Cologne 352
Ex Nihilo is a niche fragrance house founded by Olivier Creed, a member of the legendary Creed perfumming family. The brand focuses on bespoke and personalized fragrances, with Cologne 352 representing their exploration of modern, refined scent composition.
Cologne 352 opens with bright Italian lemon and juniper berries, creating a crisp, botanical top that feels both energizing and slightly herbal. The heart develops into a sophisticated white floral arrangement, with lily of the valley, orange blossom, and rose providing a delicate sweetness without heaviness. The base settles into a clean woody foundation of guaiac wood, white cedar extract, and white musk, grounding the fragrance with a subtle warmth and dry woodiness that prevents it from veering too feminine.
This is a versatile unisex fragrance that works well for those who appreciate balanced compositions where no single note dominates. It suits daytime wear and professional settings, with enough refinement for evening occasions. The overall character sits at the intersection of fresh citrus energy and understated elegance, making it appealing to anyone seeking a cologne that's neither too sweet nor too austere. If you're drawn to fragrances like The Tactician, The Homesteader, or The Aristocrat, Cologne 352 will likely resonate with your taste.
