Beauty editors have constant access to new launches, from well-known brands to niche producers, with most results being temporary preferences. However, finding a scent that becomes a 'signature perfume' is rare; a recent example is Byredo Super Cedar, worn for years. Despite this context, a new product has managed to secure a permanent place in the author's collection: Ex Nihilo Demon Dancer, released a few months ago. It proves to be a versatile perfume, suitable for both the end of summer and the crisp autumn days. [1]
Although the top and middle notes—rhubarb, blood orange, mint, bergamot, blackcurrant, and orange blossom—suggest a sweet beginning, the aroma is not an aggressive gourmand scent, unlike recent trends of vanilla and caramel. It is just slightly sweet, embraced by aromatic wood, musk, tonka, geogamy, acigalawood, and ambrofix, resulting in a warm and comforting profile. Demon Dancer is not inexpensive (available at Liberty London for £180 at 50 ml), but its retention power partially compensates for the cost. The perfume has incredible longevity: applied in the morning, the scent is still perceptible towards the afternoon, with the author reaching only halfway through the bottle after months of frequent use.

The most notable aspect is the volume of compliments received. After standard greetings, the question 'What perfume are you wearing?' indicates olfactory success. The author has lost count of the compliments received while wearing it, including positive recent comments from her hairdresser. The absence of days without compliments suggests she has found an excellent fragrance. [1]
