Which Should You Buy?
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.
This is a seriously polarising scent - some find it dark and mysterious, others get pure plasticky baby wipes. It's a love-it-or-hate-it woody vanilla that’s often compared to Bvlgari Black, but with debatable performance.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
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.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
While many report this as a skin scent with poor longevity, its woody-vanilla profile leans towards nocturnal and intimate settings. It's too dark and potentially distracting for an office, but perfect for dates or relaxed evening wear, especially in cooler weather.
