In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotIn Paradise Riviera by Ex Nihilo feels like crisp linen and sunshine along the Mediterranean coast. It opens with an immediate splash of tart Italian bergamot, quickly softening into a lush heart of pink peony, creamy tiare flower, and lush tuberose petals.

Reviews →Sundance opens with a sharp burst of sweet pear and bright bergamot before stepping directly into a dense floral heart dominated by tuberose and tropical tiare flower. A sharp bite of pimento pepper cuts through the initial sweetness, anchored by a powdery iris and warm sandalwood base built for sunny spring days.
