Ex Nihilo Paris - Chandigarh Express - EDP

Chandigarh Express by Ex Nihilo is an exciting oriental woody fragrance, created for both women and men, that transports the wearer on a sensory journey through the vibrant and culturally rich landscapes of India. Launched in 2024, this fresh addition to Ex Nihilo’s collection is a tribute to the dynamic spirit of Chandigarh, a city known for its architectural elegance and lush natural surroundings. Crafted by the talented perfumer Gaël Montero, Chandigarh Express is a fragrant ode to the merging of tradition and modernity, much like the city itself.

The fragrance opens with an energetic blend of spicy and citrus top notes that evoke the warmth and intensity of Indian spices, awakening the senses with a rush of vibrancy. As it settles, the heart of the fragrance reveals rich, woody accords, with sandalwood and cedar at its core, evoking the raw, earthy beauty of India’s forests. These deep, resinous woods are balanced with delicate floral touches that add sophistication and elegance, creating a bridge between the raw and refined.

At the base, Chandigarh Express is rounded out with sensual notes of amber and musk, providing warmth and longevity to the composition. This combination of woody depth and oriental spices creates a fragrance that is both bold and comforting, making it an ideal scent for those who appreciate adventure and elegance in equal measure.

This fragrance embodies a journey—an aromatic exploration of India’s cultural depth, from its bustling cities to its tranquil landscapes, making it a perfect choice for those who seek a scent that combines tradition, adventure, and modern sophistication.
