Outcast Blue by Ex Nihilo: Notes, Longevity and Review

Outcast Blue by Ex Nihilo smells like rebellion in a tailored suit, with saffron and black pepper over cedar and a dark base of tobacco, vetiver and oakmoss. Created by Jordi Fernandez in 2019, this unisex Eau de Parfum was inspired by a new generation of artists.

What Does Outcast Blue by Ex Nihilo Smell Like?

The opening is a spicy shock. Saffron gives its leathery, golden heat while black pepper and pink pepper add a sharp, crackling bite that demands attention. It smells like confidence with an edge. The heart cools slightly with cedarwood's dry, pencil-shaving crispness and lily of the valley's clean, green floralcy, a moment of poise before the darkness returns. In the base, the composition turns brooding: tobacco adds a smoky, honeyed depth, vetiver brings earthy greenness, oakmoss contributes a bitter forest floor quality, and sandalwood and patchouli round it into a rich, textured woodiness. The finish is dark, magnetic and unapologetic.

Notes, Concentration, and Performance

Outcast Blue is an Eau de Parfum. Longevity is strong at eight to ten hours, and projection is moderate to strong, with the spicy opening projecting boldly before the woody base settles into a persistent trail. The tobacco, vetiver and oakmoss base is especially long-lived on clothing. It is one of the house's bolder compositions, made for wearers who like their scents with backbone.
