Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nirvana Black Eau de Parfum
A modern cult classic, Nirvana Black is a mysterious, woody vanilla that’s as captivating as it is elusive. Devotees are campaigning for its return, while others find it a little too simple. Either way, it's a statement.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Oud Splendor Eau de Parfum
If you're after a beast mode oud-vanilla combo that takes no prisoners, this is it. It's not subtle, but it gets the job done - and then some.

Season and Occasion Fit

Nirvana Black Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear, while its creamy, sensual character with a touch of mystery makes it a fantastic choice for dates. It's too bold and warm for sport, and though some find it elegant enough for formal events, its intimate nature leans more casual or date-night.

Oud Splendor Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and longevity, this scent is ill-suited for the office where it could overwhelm. It shines brightest for dates and formal events, making a powerful impression, but is too heavy for casual daytime wear.
