Explicite, composed by Jordi Fernández for Ex Nihilo in 2020, is a spiced floral with a praline heart. Those who describe it call it spicy, sweet and floral in equal measure, and about half also find it woody and amber-like.

It opens with pink pepper and nutmeg, a bright, peppery sparkle over a warmer, slightly bitter spice. The heart is where the character lies: lily and peony give a fresh, dewy, lightly powdery floral, and praline adds a nutty, caramelised sweetness that sits unexpectedly well against them. Petalia, a modern rose-petal material, keeps the florals soft and clean. The base is sandalwood, vanilla and amber: creamy wood, gentle sweetness and a warm, resinous glow.

Explicite is worn by anyone. By character it is an evening and cool-weather fragrance, sweet but with enough spice and floral freshness to avoid feeling like a dessert, and it suits people who want a gourmand with a flower at its centre.
