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 - Devil's Intrigue Eau de Parfum
A perplexing charmer by all accounts. Many rave about its addictive, sensual warmth, while others are left wondering if it's just another expensive version of something they've smelled before. The 'Devil' might be in the price tag, not the scent.

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.

Devil's Intrigue Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and intimate projection make it suitable for close encounters, scoring high for dates. While generally inoffensive and soft, the sensual woody and vanilla accords are less ideal for formal events or sports. Its subtle nature allows for office wear, but the price point suggests something more special than daily grind.
