French Affair by Ex Nihilo is a Chypre fragrance for women and men. French Affair was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Quentin Bisch. Top notes are Violet Leaf, Litchi and Bergamot; middle notes are Rose Oil, Atlas Cedar and Angelica; base notes are Oakmoss, Vetiver and Patchouli. "French Affair revisits the typically seductive optimism from the 70’s. It combines anti-conformism and chic attitude with a charming Parisian airiness. French Affair is inspired by the new Dandies, wandering with panache on boulevard Saint-Germain. It embodies a natural seduction, and plays with gender codes. Its pure and sparkling notes of Bergamot, Rose and Vetiver melt to highlight the richness of an Avant-Garde Chypre. A creation that celebrates a new Rive Gauche spirit." - a note from the brand.
