The house’s story

Three founders, one Parisian house

Sylvie Loday, Olivier Royère and Benoît Verdier founded EX NIHILO in Paris in 2013. Their shared vision connects haute perfumery with innovation and the work of a new generation of craftspeople, shaping a house with an explicitly contemporary outlook.

The collection invites discovery through distinctive compositions rather than a single prescribed style. Follow the contrast that draws you in—a particular texture, a luminous detail, an unexpected depth—and consider how it becomes part of your own presence.
