    I am so glad I picked this up when I did, because it is discontinued and getting really hard to find at a reasonable price. I was actually on the hunt for the Bourbon version, but this ended up...

    I would classify this as a winter fragrance. I mainly smell sandalwood, vanilla, and violets. I added this to my stash in 2014 and I would only use it only on occasion. I could see this being a bit...

    I got a sample in a makeup purchase over a year ago and liked it, but quickly forgot about it since I'm not a "perfume person." Then I brought it along on a business trip, wore it everyday, and...

    I adore Nirvana White but this one is just too musky for me. The scent is very long lasting, the packaging is nice, it's just not for me. would not repurchase.

    Am I the only one that this this perfume smells kinda cheap? To me, it seems like something you can get at a drugstore for $20. I tried a deluxe rollerball sample of this perfume from a monthly...

    If there is anything which makes me dig my fragrant heels in, it is celebrity perfume or as they are called, celebuscents. I just plainly refuse. While cleaning up the pile of perfumes, I came...

    This is my signature scent! I get complimented on it ALL THE TIME! I hope they didn't change the formula as it's getting lots of recent bad reviews on here! To me it smells like vanilla,...

    This features a dark sweet note that others like, but I do find sickly. It reminds me of licorice or absinthe or something. I wanted to like this but never did. Notes: Violet, Sandalwood,...

    While I L-O-V-E the Nirvana White, this Nirvana Black is a definite 'no, thank you' for me. I even tried pairing it with the White, as many suggest, and it just kills the pleasantness of the White...

    This is obviously a love-it-or-hate-it kind of perfume, and while I don't love it, I do like it a lot. I purchased this on a bit of a whim and I'm enjoying it -- I think it starts out strong, but...

    This is a very in-your-face perfume, one that I find distasteful. It has strong notes of sandalwood and some type of food, not sure what it is, but it's certainly not sweet or pleasant so I don't...

    Smell like cheap avon perfume that my aunts wore when they were younger. Very stinky, musky, sweet and loud.

    I LOVE this perfume. I think it´s sexy and sensual; it kind of reminds me of Versace Crystal Noir, which I also adore.

    In the last 10 years, I tried lots of fragrance and settled on just a few that I wore with an regularity. And since then, trying new ones has not been something I was super interested in - I'd...

    This is Calvin Klein's Obsession for Men with a very faint whiff of vanilla at the very end. That's it. If you want to smell like every guy from my 1992 senior class, crack on!

    Nirvana Black is Youth Dew's great-grand daughter. To my nose it's balsamic, which I find repugnant from top notes to drydown. Would recommend this only to balsamic fragrance lovers. I...
