Best Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique Dupe
Orientica's Fluer De Orientica captures the luminous floral structure of Fleur Narcotique quite well, with the peony and jasmine heart coming through similarly creamy and indolic. The opening citrus and fruity notes align closely with the original, though the clone tends to emphasize the sweeter peach and litchi slightly more prominently during the initial spray.
The clone exhibits marginally softer sillage and slightly shorter longevity compared to Ex Nihilo's original formulation. The base notes feel somewhat less dense and woody, with a more linear progression rather than the original's gradual deepening into moss and musk.
