Elizabeth and James Nirvana Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Nirvana Rose settles into a heart of Geranium and Grasse Rose Absolute, and dries down to a base of Vetiver. Elizabeth and James's Nirvana Rose carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This isn't your granny's rosewater. Nirvana Rose is a divisive, gothic, earthy rose that some find intoxicatingly dark, while others just get Vicks VapoRub or bug spray. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent for the adventurous.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Nirvana Rose plunges into a deep, dark rose, stripped of any sweetness. The prominent vetiver lends a dry, woody earthiness, with some detecting a mineral or metallic edge. Geranium introduces a fresh, spicy, and sometimes herbal facet, creating a scent that's both floral and unapologetically grounded in nature.
