Elizabeth and James Nirvana Bourbon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Nirvana Bourbon opens with Oak, settles into a heart of Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Tuberose. Elizabeth and James's Nirvana Bourbon carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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.

About

Nirvana Bourbon opens with a potent blast of smoky oak, reminiscent of aged bourbon barrels and crackling fireplaces. This quickly melds into a dry, grown-up vanilla, far from sickly sweet. A subtle, creamy tuberose weaves through, adding a touch of intrigue and femininity, before settling into a warm, lingering embrace of woody vanilla. It's a scent of understated luxury and effortless cool.
