Our verdict on Nirvana Bourbon: 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.

Also Works:
Casual

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.
