    I really live this smell. For 2 years now I have been trying to find something, anything, that smells like Bath and body Works Forever red from 3 years ago. Each year they change the formulation...

    Received a sample of Nirvana Black with my Sephora order. I'm not an Olsen twin fan, so Murphy's law dictates that I would fall in love with this and throw some money at those little urchins....

    This perfume smelled so familiar and comforting to me when I first bought it. I sniffed and sniffee, but I couldn't put my finger on why it smelled so familiar to me. Then, it hit me - this perfume...

    I rarely write fragrance reviews, I feel like I am kind of bad at writing them. This one is easier since it has three notes: vanilla, sandlewood, violet. My body chemistry loves vanilla, as does my...

    Leave it to the Olsens to deliver a very cool and terribly chic scent as the Nirvana Black. This one makes me think of dark jeans and Calvin Kleins and white t-shirts with that IDGAF tousled kinda...

    Beautiful perfume. Three notes sandalwood, vanilla, and light dose violets create magic. This and its companion Nirvana White Peony, Muguet, maybe rose, and musks, (comparable to Tocca's...

    Lovely fragrance. Doesn't last as long as I'd like, but still get 3-4 hours of wear out of a spray. Love the bottle.

    This is the first fragrance I have been excited about in awhile! I normally get queasy at scent of vanilla infused fragrances but the blend of sandalwood and musk make this work. I really thought...

    Overrated fragrance in my opinion. Everyone and their brother is raving about this online and I thought I would love it considering it’s in one of my favorite groups, woods. Nope, not so much. It’s...

    Incense, vanilla, and male body odor. Makes me want to take a shower immediately.

    I usually gravitate toward sweeter fragrances, but I LOVE this. The opening is spicy and a little masculine, but it quickly dries down to a soft sandalwood vanilla that's very feminine. I love that...

    Scent is such a personal thing- reviews for this are so widely varied. Personally, I love this fragrance, but will reserve it for the cooler weather to come since it strikes me as one of those...

    Wow. I used to wear MAC MV3 (black cap). It was a funky vetiver vanilla fragrance with a masculine edge. I loved it. It has long since been discontinued. When I spritzed Nirvana Black I instantly...

    This scent left me confused, and desperate for a bath. The images for this line kind of have a mysterious witch/nu goth vibe, The packaging has a fashionable yet minimalist feel. The name suggests...

    I tested this at Sephora. Well, to my nose this smells like a watered down TM Black Orchid (the white one reminds me of a watered down Balenciaga, btw). For most occasions, Black Orchid should be...

    There is something in this that gives off a synthetic/ plastic toy smell after about 15 or 20 minutes. Without that element I may have been interested in it because it smells different - in a good...
