Ex Nihilo Brompton Immortals Extrait: Notes, the Harrods Exclusive and vs Gold Immortals

Ex Nihilo Brompton Immortals Extrait de Parfum is a spiced, musky rose that Ex Nihilo made as a Harrods exclusive: saffron and pink pepper over Bulgarian rose, settling on vanilla, olibanum and white musk. Interest is climbing: Google Keyword Planner shows about 4,200 US searches a month for "brompton immortals extrait" over the last three months, roughly double the three months before. Below: what Brompton Immortals Extrait smells like, what "Harrods exclusive" means if you live outside London, how the Extrait differs from the Eau de Parfum, and how it compares with Gold Immortals.

What Ex Nihilo Brompton Immortals Extrait is

It is a unisex Extrait de Parfum from Ex Nihilo, the Paris house founded in 2013. Harrods sells it in a 100ml bottle and describes it in one line as "A mystical, musky scent inspired by the Egyptian legend of immortality." The longer Harrods description reads:

"Created as a tribute to Harrods, Brompton Immortals extrait de parfum from Ex Nihilo was blended by perfumer Jordi Fernandez. Sensual and warming notes of saffron, pink pepper and Bulgarian rose bring a sense of romance, while Madagascan vanilla melts into a cocktail of patchouli and white musk, mixing old English tradition with new thrills."

Harrods

Harrods' Knightsbridge store stands on Brompton Road. Ex Nihilo does not list this perfume on its own website, so the notes and descriptions here come from Harrods, checked against Fragrantica and Parfumo.

An Extrait de Parfum is the most concentrated tier most perfume houses make, above Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette. Our guide to EDP vs EDT vs Parfum explains how the tiers compare.

What does Brompton Immortals Extrait smell like?

The Extrait opens warm and peppery, turns into a full rose, and dries down soft and resinous. Harrods lists nine notes across three stages, and Fragrantica lists the same pyramid.

Stage	Notes Harrods lists	What they bring
Top	Saffron, pink pepper	A warm, leathery spice with a bright peppery lift
Heart	Bulgarian rose, jasmine absolute, Lisylang	A rich rose with creamy white flowers
Base	Vanilla, white musk, olibanum, patchouli	Soft sweetness, clean musk and a dry, smoky resin

Saffron is the dried stigma of the crocus flower. In perfume it reads warm, slightly leathery and a little honeyed, and here it sits next to pink pepper, which is fresher and fruitier than black pepper.

Lisylang is a perfumery material from the French ingredient house Robertet, made from selected fractions of ylang ylang. Its maker describes it this way:

"Very pure and clean white flowers bouquets with jasmine, Monöi, Frangipani undertones."

In this perfume it sits beside jasmine absolute and gives the Bulgarian rose a creamy, tropical edge.

Olibanum is another name for frankincense, the aromatic resin used in incense. In the base it adds a dry, smoky thread under the vanilla and white musk, with patchouli giving depth.

Is Brompton Immortals a Harrods exclusive or a UK exclusive?

It is a Harrods exclusive, not a UK-wide exclusive. Ex Nihilo made it as a tribute to Harrods, the London department store in Knightsbridge, rather than for the UK market as a whole. The box of the Extrait is printed "Harrods Exclusive", Harrods marks it as an exclusive on its product page, and Parfumo states that it "is available exclusively at Harrods." That means you will not find it on Ex Nihilo's own website or in other UK department stores as standard. It does not mean the perfume is sold only in the UK, as the next sections show.

Ex Nihilo has made other city editions too. Our guide to Dubai exclusive perfumes covers Ex Nihilo Scarlet Sands, which the house launched as a Dubai exclusive.

Is Brompton Immortals on Ex Nihilo's official website?

No. In October 2026, Ex Nihilo's own website did not list Brompton Immortals in either version, and a search for it there returned no results. The official sources for its notes and description are Harrods' product pages.

Can you buy Brompton Immortals outside the UK?

Yes. Harrods lists the Extrait on its US and UAE websites, and Parfum Central ships the 100ml Extrait de Parfum from Dubai to 130+ countries with DHL Express, insured, with delivery in 3 to 5 business days. Shipping is 30 AED within the UAE and 88 AED to other countries.

Brompton Immortals Extrait vs Eau de Parfum

The perfume comes in two versions, and both are 100ml at Harrods. The Eau de Parfum came first, in 2018, and the Extrait followed in 2023, according to Fragrantica and Parfumo.

	Eau de Parfum	Extrait de Parfum
Concentration	Eau de Parfum	Extrait de Parfum (stronger)
Notes Harrods lists	Saffron, pink pepper, Bulgarian rose, jasmine absolute, Lisylang, vanilla, white musk, olibanum, patchouli	The same nine notes
Character (Parfumo reviewer)	"somewhat sweeter and airier"	"even deeper and spicier"
At Parfum Central	Not carried	100ml, available to order

Harrods gives both versions the same note list, so the difference is concentration rather than a new formula on paper. Harrods labels them "Eau de parfum" and "Perfume extract"; neither Harrods nor Ex Nihilo publishes an oil percentage for either version. If you like this rose but want it darker and spicier, the Extrait is the version to choose.

Brompton Immortals vs Gold Immortals

The two names are close, but they are different perfumes. They share a perfumer: Harrods names Jordi Fernández for the Harrods exclusive, and Ex Nihilo names him as the "Master Perfumer" behind Gold Immortals. The notes go in different directions.

	Brompton Extrait	Gold Extrait
Top	Saffron, pink pepper	Pear, bergamot
Heart	Bulgarian rose, jasmine absolute, Lisylang	Ylang-ylang, Petalia
Base	Vanilla, white musk, olibanum, patchouli	Ambrofix, tonka bean, vanilla
Price at Parfum Central (100ml)	AED 2,935	AED 1,460
Character	Spiced rose, resinous	What Ex Nihilo calls an "Infinite floriental", sweeter

Both have a white-flower heart built on ylang ylang materials, and both end on vanilla. The Harrods exclusive adds saffron, rose and frankincense, while Gold Immortals is brighter and fruitier at the start. One Parfumo reviewer finds Brompton "darker, spicier and distinctly more distinctive".

Is Brompton Immortals Extrait unisex?

Yes. Harrods tags the Extrait as unisex, and Fragrantica and Parfumo list it for women and men. Rose and vanilla lean classic, while saffron, olibanum and patchouli keep it from reading only floral.

Who the Brompton Extrait suits

• You like saffron and rose together and want a softer, musky finish instead of oud.
• You want an evening scent for cooler months, dinners and occasions.
• You already wear Ex Nihilo Gold Immortals Extrait and want something spicier from the same perfumer.

If you prefer fresh citrus or clean aquatic scents, look elsewhere in the house.
