Comparing EDP and Extrait

Lust in Paradise by Ex NihiloEx NihiloLust in Paradise4.319 ratings

I have always loved the EDP. It's a soft, slightly fruity, musky floral that dries down to the most amazing creamy, lightly tropical scent.

It is my first time trying the Extrait on skin and it's also phenomenal. It's very different from the OG though the DNA is shared. The added ginger (that Ex Nihilo does so well) is a welcome addition and adds a touch of spiciness. As expected from an Extrait, it's much stronger than the OG, but also headier, fruitier, creamier and more tropical as well.

I think I'm happy to have both as they really are quite different!

      The Extrait is much deeper, fruitier, and spicier. It is amazing! The EDP is very light and more floral musky. They are actually very different so I don't mind having both.
