What does Nirvana smell like?

The top is led by yuzu, bergamot, citron and gardenia, while black ambergris and Thai civet leave an animalic trace. In the heart, blue lotus, iris, rose and ginger make a floral, spicy transition. The base of Ceylonese sandalwood, frankincense, Sumatran oud and Siberian musk is woody, smoky and slightly sweet, with a green thread from violet leaf and rose leaf.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, though this rests on only a few votes. It doesn't fit a masculine or feminine mould and reads as unisex. It has been discontinued, so it may be hard to find.
