Description
Ex Nihilo Lust in Paradise is a dewy, sun-warmed floral-musk that wears like skin kissed by the French Riviera.
Composed by Givaudan perfumer Louise Turner for the Parisian house Ex Nihilo and launched in 2019, it opens with a sparkle of pink pepper before melting into peony, juicy lychee and the brand's signature Petalia accord, all settled on a soft bed of musk, amber and white cedar. Reviewers describe it as the definition of a “clean girl” scent — airy, feminine and classy, yet quietly addictive on the skin.
Scent Character
- Sweet / Fruity — 42%
- Woody — 25%
- Floral — 17%
- Spicy — 17%
Translation: a luminous fruity-floral built on lychee and peony, rounded by creamy cedar and musk with just a flick of peppery spice. Soft and radiant rather than heavy or sugary.
Fragrance Pyramid
Top: Pink Pepper
Heart: White Peony, Lychee
Base: Musk, Amber, White Cedar
Performance
Longevity: Strong for the style — reviewers consistently report 6 to 8 hours on skin.
Sillage: Moderate and pretty — a soft, haunting trail that stays close-to-skin in warm weather rather than filling a room.
Projection: Intimate to moderate; it blooms on warm skin and rewards close encounters.
Best Occasions & Season
Built for Spring and Summer — warmth lifts the lychee and peony beautifully. Versatile across Everyday wear, Business settings and Leisure. Marketed as unisex, though its dewy-floral character reads slightly feminine-leaning.

FAQ
Is this the original Lust in Paradise EDP?
Yes — this is the 2019 Eau de Parfum by Louise Turner, not the newer 2026 Extrait reformulation, which has a different note structure.
How long does it last?
Most wearers get 6 to 8 hours, which is strong for such an airy, dewy floral.
Is it a men's or women's fragrance?
It is marketed as unisex. The fruity-floral, dewy profile leans slightly feminine but is easy to wear for anyone.
Why buy a decant instead of a full bottle?
A decant lets you live with the scent for several wears before committing — especially useful right now while the full retail bottles are out of stock.
