What does Nirvanesque smell like?

The top holds davana, rum, cistus and myrrh, and frankincense and leather sit in the heart. The base brings musk, oud, benzoin, vanilla and tonka bean. A gourmand, creamy sweetness rests on a woody, leathery ground, with an oriental warmth throughout.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters place it mostly in leisure, evening and night-out wear. Character votes put feminine and masculine close together, so it doesn't lean to one gender. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle Essence de Parfum and Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Signature have a close profile.
