I have, it’s quite good but it’s just not the same /: the closest I’ve tried is The Hedonist by Ex Nihilio but 300$ for a freshie that lasts 5-6 hours is fucking stupid. That being said, fantastic niche fresh frag.

OP made me sad with this post. Ultime was my signature for 3 years until it got discontinued, nothing beats the gin & tonic style ginger rose DNA imo, Absolute class. I’ve wanted to find a higher quality niche version and so far the only thing I’ve found is Ex Nihilo the hedonist - it truly is better in every way, much more natural smelling and less screechy. that being said I can’t justify spending 300$ on a freshie that only lasts for 5-6 hours even though I love it. Do any of you have a valid alternative that isn’t so expensive? Anything 200 and under possibly?

Just found another gem. Ex Nihilo The Hedonist. It uses the same exact akigala base as bois imperial, however the top notes are ginger/citrus based. It’s truly a signature frag, and much like bois imperial it is hard to describe. The dry down has a barbershop feel due to the combination of the akigala in with the Tonka. in some ways it reminds me of a gin & tonic version of bois imperial even though the notes don’t reflect a gin & tonic style scent. Beautiful frag, definitely worth sampling for anyone in the market for niche, modern smelling fragrances. I would honestly give this a leg up over Bois Imperial due to the fact that it is very close except fresher, and more uplifting. The silage is fantastic just as it is with BI, and the longevity is about 8-10 hours for me. I’m the end, for the price BI is still superior due to the price - but if you have expendable funds I highly recommend trying this out.
