Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a proper love-or-hate affair. Some find it a beautifully complex, dark vanilla, others get bug spray or synthetic nastiness. Definitely try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
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.

Occasions
While some find it intimate enough for the office, its sensual and mysterious nature makes it a perfect fit for a date night. The soft sillage reported by many means it won't overpower, making it versatile for a range of casual and evening wear, but it's not well-suited for sport.
