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 discontinued gem is a total love-it-or-hate-it affair. For those who get it, Nirvana Bourbon is an unbelievably sexy, woody-vanilla with a boozy kick. For others, it's a bit too much like pencil shavings or even BBQ sauce. Definitely try before you overpay on eBay.

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
Its intimate sillage means it won't overwhelm, making it suitable for close encounters like dates. The woody and boozy accords, while alluring, might be a bit too 'night out' for a professional office setting. It's definitely a cold-weather champion.
