Ex Nihilo for the trade, supplied from Dubai since 2016 to retailers, online sellers and distributors in more than 100 countries. Our Ex Nihilo stock includes Blue Talisman and Fleur Narcotique, alongside lines from every one of the house's six collections, in boxed and tester formats. No minimum per fragrance on full bottles.
Which Ex Nihilo fragrances can I buy wholesale?
These are the Ex Nihilo lines we hold today, grouped the way the house groups them on its own site. Names only: trade pricing sits behind the account.
Visionnaire
Blue Talisman, held in eau de parfum at 50 ml and 100 ml and as a tester, and Cuir Celeste, boxed and tester. Blue Talisman is the best-known name in the range.
Quintessence
The extraits. Blue Talisman Extrait at 50 ml and 100 ml, Fleur Narcotique Extrait at 100 ml, boxed and tester, and Outcast Blue Extrait at 100 ml. Worth a place in an order once the eau de parfum versions have proved themselves on your shelf.
Initiale
The deepest collection in our Ex Nihilo stock. Fleur Narcotique at 50 ml and 100 ml, boxed and tester, is the line we hold in the most depth of any Ex Nihilo fragrance, and we also hold a Fleur Narcotique gift set with body wash and body lotion. Gold Immortals, Rose Hubris and Bois d'Hiver are held boxed, the last two with testers alongside. Oud Vendôme, Cologne 352, Vetiver Moloko, Musc Infini, Jasmin Fauve and Iris Porcelana are held as testers.
Iconoclaste
Outcast Blue, boxed and tester, Citizen X, boxed and tester, Demon Dancer, the house's newest eau de parfum, and French Affair as a tester.
Interdite
Lust in Paradise, Spiky Muse at 50 ml and 100 ml, Love Shot and Viper Green, the last three with testers alongside, and Explicite as a tester.
Babylone
Atlas Fever and Amber Sky, both at 50 ml and 100 ml, Amber Sky with a tester as well.
Outside the current collections
We also hold Sweet Morphine at 50 ml, which sits outside the collections listed on the house's site today, and a small number of the house's scented candles.
Most of the range is held at 100 ml, with 50 ml alongside on several of the best-known names. Our Ex Nihilo stock moves week to week, so treat this as a picture of what we hold now rather than a fixed list.
What sets Ex Nihilo apart from other niche houses?
Ex Nihilo is a French fragrance house founded in 2013 by a trio from Paris: Sylvie Loday, Olivier Royère and Benoît Verdier. The house gives the meaning of its name as "created out of the blue". It describes itself as having cultivated an outsider mindset since its inception, and as being driven by freedom, innovation and a commitment to modern craftsmanship.
Two things on the house's own account set it apart from most niche peers.
The first is materials. Ex Nihilo says it uses the best natural and synthetic raw materials without any cost constraint, and finishes its bottles with engraved caps in refined materials such as mother of pearl, onyx and buffalo horn.
The second is personalisation. The house offers the Osmologue, which it describes as an exclusive high-precision fragrance blending system, named after osmology, the science of scents. In its flagship locations, clients can create their own perfume with it, and those made-to-order fragrances are weighed, filtered, bottled and finished by hand. That service is reserved for the flagships.
The range is organised into six collections, each with a stated purpose:
- Initiale gives perfumers a carte blanche with high perfumery's finest materials. Fleur Narcotique sits here.
- Interdite is built around forbidden pleasures and olfactory addiction: Lust in Paradise, Spiky Muse, Love Shot, Viper Green.
- Iconoclaste is dedicated to mavericks, free thinkers and rule breakers: Outcast Blue, Citizen X, Demon Dancer.
- Visionnaire is aimed at discerning collectors. Blue Talisman sits here.
- Babylone brings Eastern and Western inspirations together: Atlas Fever, Amber Sky.
- Quintessence is the house's most radical version of its iconic fragrances, as extraits de parfum.
Do I need brand authorisation to sell Ex Nihilo?
No. Access to our Ex Nihilo stock depends on your trade account with us, not on an appointment from the brand. Resale rules for parallel-imported goods vary by country, so check the position in your market before you list. What is not acceptable anywhere is presenting yourself as an official Ex Nihilo distributor when you are not one.
How to spot fake wholesale perfume covers the checks worth running on any delivery from any supplier, including weighing bottles against a known reference.
What does a first Ex Nihilo order usually include?
Wide and shallow, led by the two names customers already know.
Blue Talisman and Fleur Narcotique are the anchors. They are the Ex Nihilo fragrances a customer is most likely to ask for by name, and a first order without them leaves the shelf without its two strongest reasons to stop. From there, the choice depends on your customer base. Outcast Blue and Citizen X suit a shelf leaning fresh and contemporary. Lust in Paradise, Spiky Muse and Love Shot suit customers who buy sweeter, more gourmand profiles. Atlas Fever and Amber Sky suit customers who already buy amber and oud.
Leave the extraits and the quieter Initiale names until you have sell-through data. They suit enthusiasts well and move more slowly with everyone else, which is fine once you know which customers you have.
Testers are worth considering here, because we hold a wide spread of Ex Nihilo in tester format, including several Initiale lines that are held only as testers. A tester is the same juice in plain packaging, the cheaper way to open wide across the collections before committing depth. Wholesale perfume testers covers the format.
The terms are simple: no minimum per fragrance on full bottles, items under 10ml in tens, AED 5,000 per shipment.
Can I combine Ex Nihilo with other brands in one shipment?
Yes, and most accounts do. There is no single-brand requirement, and the shipment total can be met across any mix of houses.
Amouage is the natural companion at a similar tier, with a richer, more traditional signature that covers the customer Ex Nihilo does not. Nishane sits close in positioning with a bolder, younger profile, and Initio reaches the customer looking for a modern, statement niche signature.
Wholesale niche fragrances covers the category as a whole, including how to build a niche section without tying up capital in houses your customers have not tried yet.
How do I open an Ex Nihilo wholesale account?
Apply with your business details and trade licence, and include your shop or social links, which carry real weight in the review. Approval usually comes within one business day.
Once approved, the catalogue opens with live stock counts and live trade pricing, tester and boxed lines listed separately so you can compare the two formats of the same fragrance directly. An account manager is reachable by name rather than through a shared inbox.
We ship to more than 100 countries, including South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, through FedEx, DHL and Aramex under dangerous-goods-compliant packing, or with your own freight forwarder. Freight is invoiced separately from goods so you can compare it against your own quote.
