I own a full bottle from Saks and couldn’t be happier. This bridges the gap between MFK Aqua Universalis and Aqua Vitae. I definitely get high-end tanning lotion vibes, but it definitely sets itself apart from tanning lotion with its sharper and more citric notes. Absolutely some of the highest quality ingredients I have come across, and I have come across a lot… Perfectly unisex and would be a great scent for a couple to wear on a beach walk or in hot weather in general. The longevity is actually pretty impressive, but it does become a skin scent quite quickly, unlike the powerful musky and floral MFK “Forte” fragrances. But that’s why I bought a full bottle, so I can reapply on a whim. I also find this fragrance to be slightly more interesting than the Aqua MFK fragrances because it has more progression. The MFK fragrances seem to stay the same from beginning to end

Received sample…do not like it, not a pleasant smell, at least on my skin. I actually need to wash this off as it is so bad.

This is very nice, sharp and clean. I’m bad for comparing fragrances to others, because I’ve tried so many by now but I guess my nose still isn’t quite developed enough to separate them into notes..anyhow, this reminds me of Acqua Universalis Forte, and Mirto di Panarea by AdP..both are also clean, light, natural smelling and remind me of shower gel. There’s something slightly sharper about this one, and less floral which makes it both more towards the masculine side of a still unisex composition, and also more preferable to me

Alright, I got a sample yesterday. Today I tried on and well… I was not that impressed. And I mean to the point where I was not even interested in writing a review.
Yeah, juniper, citrus…meh.
Dinner time! Cooking, eating, tv and then I smelled my wrist… Heaven. This is the cleanest, most pristine scent I’ve smelled in years.
I swear, at that precise moment I said: Now I get it, now I know what the other reviewers were saying!!
I. MUST. HAVE. THIS.
I’m not joking.

As others have mentioned, this is such a fantastic fragrance.
I wasn’t too sure about this one when I first tried it; the juniper is very apparent when first applied to the point of being almost abrasive and too zingy but this soon settles down once the florals and woods come through to balance everything out.
It’s a very clean fragrance, as you would expect from the notes. There’s definitely the smell of a crisp, white, freshly starched shirt in the early phases.
However, it’s in the soft woody base that this perfume really shines. As it develops, the citrus and juniper dissipate to leave a comforting base of wood and musk, with light floral elements adding a touch of softness, without becoming too sweet or cloying.
Perfectly unisex, it’s a very versatile fragrance that can be worn for a variety of occasions and seasons. Perhaps too safe for some but nobody could doubt it’s quality, detail or execution.
There are certain similarities to some Maison Francis Kurkdjian perfumes but with more depth of character, mainly due to the juniper.
I get outstanding longevity with a good dose of projection for several hours before it settles down to a skin scent. Having said that, occasional wafts of comfort, from this sublime creation. reappear and delight throughout its wearing.
Nicely presented, this is definitely a keeper.

Very well done but not particularly ground breaking or calling me back for more. Cologne 352 is a very clean and “white” presentation featuring sharp, natural lemon notes in tandem with a lily-of-the-valley that is pretty much polished to perfection as it is simultaneously transparent and ethereal but also quite present and unabashed in its affect. If this is what you’re looking for, look no further. It’s a white glove serviced garden party in a bottle with above average performance. I’m not a huge fan of white citrus fragrances, such as Creed’s Pure White Cologne or Mugler Cologne, so perhaps my final verdict of a mild thumbs up isn’t the most accurate evaluation of Cologne 352. At this point I’m looking for something new, and this particular theme just doesn’t interest me anymore. Still, there’s no denying the precise, flawless execution of this release from Ex-Nihilo, a house which has produced some pretty impressive fragrances thus far and which I will certainly keep an eye on in the future. Worth sampling for sure, and a definite winner in its genre.

When one reaches a niche collection such as mine, they are very picky about the remaining purchases they make.
This is that find that makes me want to let the whole community know that there is a scent that is 100 times better than Aventus. Yes, there are better smelling and more complements with this fragrance.
Wow.
10/10 all the way.
I can’t believe I found this, it’s so good that within the first hour I have decided to get a full bottle. I am also so impressed that I just have to order a sample of all the other offerings from this house. I will be doing a in depth review after several more wearings of this on my YouTube channel ConsumerThis.
A+++++++

Cologne 352 is definitely an appropriate name for this fragrance–it is most certainly a cologne, and the least feminine in the Ex Nihilo line of eau de parfums.
On my skin, at the outset the citrus and juniper are overwhelmingly pungent and sharp, and within 20 minutes settle into a warmer, sweet, powdery lemon-juniper-wood with the rose starting to come through. The sillage shrunk significantly after that, quite close to the skin, which I found more pleasant than the first sharp blast of citrus and juniper berry. To my nose it is surprisingly like Irish Spring soap, (although this fragrance has only the very subtlest soapy notes).
As colognes go, this feels natural and less synthetic, less cloying than many of the scents out there, but on the whole it strikes me as a commonplace collection of notes for me. Although it’s an eau de parfum, I can’t help making an association with masculine colognes.
