Ex Nihilo The Hedonist Eau de Parfum is one where I feel like either it's been significantly reformulated or my skin chemistry completely obliterated the scent profile, because instead of an aromatic, woody, musky kind of scent, I was bathed in a fruity, pear-apple-ginger melange with some musk and...
