Career and creations
Guillaume Flavigny is one of the perfumers to whom Ex Nihilo gives "carte blanche": the Parisian house says it lets them create without constraints, using perfumery's most exceptional materials.
For the house, he created Vetiver Moloko, a sophisticated woody fragrance wrapped in a creamy veil. The house describes it as deliciously ambivalent: earthy on one side, milky and soft on the other, this wood changes face as it evolves on the skin. Vetiver meets milky notes and cypress, after an opening of bergamot and rose, on a base of vanilla and amyris. Its name recalls the Moloko Plus, the spiked milk of the film A Clockwork Orange: a drop of vanilla makes this milky heart comfortable and silky, but the house warns that it is a guilty pleasure, one that is hard to give up.
Ex Nihilo publishes no further information about his career: his training and the fragrance company he works for are not disclosed.
