Rose Hubris puts the May rose, queen of materials in fine perfumery, at the centre of everything, with no restraint whatsoever. A hint of lychee opens the composition with freshness.
Rose then takes over, magnified by green, fruity and spicy facets, before a base of patchouli, oakmoss and musk gives it a chypre structure. A full, unapologetic rose.

Rose Hubris in detail
Ex Nihilo, a Parisian house that gives its perfumers carte blanche, offers with Rose Hubris, composed by Olivier Pescheux, a hedonistic tribute to the May rose. The flower rests on a chypre base of patchouli and oakmoss, which gives it a modern depth.
The official pyramid is deliberately pared back. At the top, lychee brings a fruity, slightly tart note. The heart is entirely devoted to rose, fresh and velvety. The base brings together patchouli, oakmoss and musk, the classic framework of chypres, lightened here to keep the rose in the foreground.
Rose Hubris is worn in spring and autumn, by day or by night: at the office, at a dinner, or on a day when you want an assertive rose.
Three chypres in our catalogue come close: Diaghilev by Roja Parfums shares patchouli, oakmoss and musk; Gris Dior by Dior pairs rose and oakmoss; Hacivat by Nishane finds patchouli and oakmoss again in a fruitier chypre.
