Franck Boclet Nirvana is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Bruno Hervé. Nirvana opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Basil, settles into a heart of Grapefruit, Jasmine, Plum, and Mango, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Franck Boclet's Nirvana carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher: a bold, unconventional blend that some adore for its unique tension and others find a chaotic mess. You'll either get its vibe or you won't.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's versatile enough for most settings. While some find it heavy due to the unique blend of notes, its unconventional character suits casual and evening dates better than formal or active wear.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Limonene from Orange
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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 kicks off with a zesty, bitter hit of bergamot and basil, like sun-warmed herbs with a sharp citrus edge. This quickly melts into an unexpected heart where tropical mango and plum are tart and fibrous, not overly sweet, mingling with a subtle, green grapefruit. It's a challenging, almost unripe fruitiness. The dry down is a warm, woody embrace of cedar and sandalwood, softened by creamy amber and benzoin, with just a ghost of musk and civet adding a touch of animalic depth.
