  • In this video, I will be going over what you should look out for when it comes to acquiring an authentic Ex Nihilo fragrance. Unfortunately, Ex Nihilo is another brand that has fallen victim of counterfeiting. In this video, I will be going over what you should look for so you don't get scammed. The fragrances I mention are Citizen X and Devil Tender. Thank you for watching, and please be sure to subscribe for future reviews, comparison videos, top 10 lists, and more!

    I very much appreciate this video and others that point out the differences between authentic and counterfeit perfumes. It’s especially helpful to know what to look for when buying fragrances second hand. I did want to point out out one thing about the gold plate labels on Ex Nihilo bottles. I have a bottle of Explicite that I bought from Luckyscent in 2021, that I know is authentic and that smells great. But unlike Steve’s authentic bottle where you can see 4-points of contact of the label from the back of the bottle, the label on my bottle is completely flush with the glass bottle. As Steve said, companies do make changes and so in this case I would not conclude that a bottle isn’t authentic based on the absence of those four points of contact on the back of a label alone.

    What’s happenin Red?Excellent thorough video as always my man.Unbelievable how far people will go.If they spend some of that time and effort on originality, they might come up with something on their own 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ Great to hear your friend got their money back at least.I have a 7.5 ml travel bottle of Citizen X that’s only been sprayed a few times(it’s good,and I respect it’s artistic expression,but it’s not for me)Your friend can have it if they didn’t get their hands on another bottle by now.Let me know.This is a great house.They got many I dig,but always loved Bois D’ Hiver.Since it has a pretty striking resemblance to Oud Wood which I already owned.My Oud Wood is getting low so wanted the same vibe but something different.So I picked up a 100 ML bottle of Bois D Hiver from Saks Beverly Hills on Black Friday.Much love man...Peace/Blessings

    Hummm...I bought an ex nihilo fleur narcotique in ebay and through a Russian seller. The packaging, the bottle, the cap, the foam box are identical to your authentic ex nihilo in this video. Even the smell is nice, similar like my decant tester of the same perfume. It doesn't smell like harsh alcohol and it didn't turn sour. My guy wore it and it lasted for long hours on him. So, is it a fake perfume? Or a tester? It was cheap though, around 60 Euros.

    • @ilovehillywoodshow

      I just got the same perfume from an Ukrainian selleron eBay. The extrait de parfum cost me around $160 and everything looks pretty good. I’m scared I might have gotten scammed but so far so good. The only thing is that it came without a box, but I have gotten a lot of testers before and this is a non issue for me. Sadly I can’t do the full comparison since I don’t have the box.
