Ex Nihilo Paris Collection Babylone - Chandigarh Express

Ex Nihilo Paris - Collection Babylone - Chandigarh Express

The city a masterpiece, the fragrance a tribute. Chandigarh Express describes the architectural vision of a modern Indian city at the foothills of the Siwaliks in a blend of cardamom, vetiver and leather. As an ambitious urban planning experiment by a Swiss-French architect, the papery utopia of Chandigarh has developed over decades into a vibrant metropolis, filled with an enduringly fascinating, vital energy. Its European-style avant-garde flair still connects the city, located in the middle of the jungle, with the elegant culture of France. In Chandigarh Express, Ex Nihilo picks up on the many dazzling facets of Chandigarh and lets the ambience of this extraordinary and fascinating metropolis resound in finely formulated and well-placed sounds.

The fragrance:
With the breathtaking sounds of its Chandigarh Express, Ex Nihilo follows the creative courage and innovative ideals of French architect Le Corbusier and designer Jeanneret. As a fragrance from the House's Babylone collection, Chandigarh Express is a manifestation of the skilful fusion of different cultures. Inspired by the beauty and diversity of Babylon, the opulently indulgent fragrances in the collection are characterised by the most exclusive raw materials, which Ex Nihilo moulds into unique creations that transcend all linguistic and geographical boundaries. Chandigarh Express describes the departure to Utopia in its floral notes, emphasised by precious woods and striking leather. An imagined city in which tradition and modernity unite in an intercultural way, olfactorily designed from a fruity, cardamom-spiced mandarin bergamot opening, followed by jasmine blossom, mahonial™ and davana as the central sound of Chandigarh Express. Their sensual combination with the accentuating aromas of resinous fir balsam and characteristic leather notes creates a colourful kaleidoscope of countless colours. Patchouli and smoky vetiver notes, delicious tonka bean and benzoin underline its mesmerising sounds - they perfect an aesthetic fragrance sound in whose composition the multitude of its skilfully interwoven components and the image of the stylish metropolis of Chandigarh, which flashes up again and again, can be discovered. The sounds of Chandigarh Express are captivating whether worn as an intoxicating solitaire or layered with Ex Nihilos Sublime Mist Magnetize and Sublime Essence Oud. With the shimmering halo effect of the powerful, floral notes of patchouli and benzoin, Sublime Mist Magnetize allows the personalised and intensified experience of Chandigarh Express, while Sublime Essence Oud underlines the texture and longevity of the composition with a mystical-oriental sound in a uniquely individual way.
