About

Nirvana Black is a warm embrace of creamy sandalwood and sweet vanilla, deepened by a subtle, powdery violet. It balances a smooth, almost balsamic woodiness with a hint of floral intrigue, evolving into a sophisticated skin scent that feels both edgy and comforting. A unique take on familiar notes.
