Los Angeles, after dark. The terrace of a suspended villa above the City of Angels. Suddenly, a beam of intense light runs on the skin and makes you shiver. This is the concept of Citizen X, Ex Nihilo's newest and most contemporary masculine, a "frozen amber" that glows with bracing intensity.
Citizen X opens with a piercing shot of resinous mastic and white pepper exciting the senses. Like a sharp detonation that gives way to a diffuse explosion, perfumer Yann Vasnier deftly blends in an enveloping iris note that softens and sustains the scent's icy disposition. Soon enough, the atmosphere turns musky, difficult to pinpoint, with tendrils of incense through ambered woods. This is a fragrance for the glamorous and confident, the stylish and powerful, the ones who truly wake up once the sun has set. Modern, masculine, and ever so slightly dangerous- the world belongs to Citizen X.
