Nirvana Black

by Elizabeth and James

Long lasting, very nice scent

I'm bad at writing perfume reviews. It smells good, I wear it all the time but I would not get another sample or a full size. Just not a perfect match for me.

I genuinely love this scent. It’s going on my holiday list. The musky and spice smell is amazing, it’s like it enhances you’re natural scent. And it’s long lasting.

Too strong to wear daily. I would say it’s a good one for night time use, I.e. going out to dinner or an event, etc.

Really liked this scent. Disappointed by its staying power.

.

I get more compliments on this perfume than any other perfume I have. It last all day (2 sprays). Its not a old woman smell, yet you wouldnt smell it on a young teeny bopper. Perfect for someone in their 30s.

I love this scent! It is a sensual and earthy scent - I DO wish it would last longer on my skin but it is often hit and miss, I do find that if I layer it lasts better. I'll definitely be purchasing a full size of this. We also got a nice surprise and received a welcome gift by way of a body scrub. Nice touch! My niece loved it, as I nor my daughter can really use bath products. Only lotions, creams and perfumes.

I did not like this fragrance. I like it better when I can choose my same scent multiple times if I want to. I will be cancelling my subscription.

After how people talk about this fragrance I was expecting something life-changing, but it's just ok. It's a little too sweet for me and is what I imagine old rich ladies smell like.

This is by far my favoire Perfume. I seriously am considering getting another months worth! Superb sexy and bold! Woody sandalwood type of smell. It’s amazing !

Really like the scent, lasts a long time.

I get so many compliments on this one!

A little strong on the alcohol/ old lady smell as soon as its sprayed, but it instantly dies down into something deep and amazing! Love this may be my new autumn signature scent!

Such a beautiful scent for fall and winter!

This was one of the first fragrances I received that I did not enjoy. I liked the fragrance OFF of my skin but on...it was a it overwhelming. Not sure if it was the flowery smell or something else. Just not my taste.

I really like this , however I wish the scent lasted longer

I cannot write a thorough review on this fragrance as I never received last month’s subscription. I’ve sent multiple emails in regards to this but aside from the automated customer service email confirming that my inquiry was received, NO ONE from the scentbird customer service team has followed up with me (it has been over a week since I sent my 1st email). I find this truly sad, as the concept and service Scentbird is selling to folks is a good one— but their lack of efficient and thorough follow up with their customers is non-existent and ruining their customer relationship. I will certainly make sure to tell folks to STAY AWAY and save their money for companies that truly care about their customers.

This scent is a bit too strong for me.

I love this scent its mature and sexy. It smells so good on and it is one that lasts all day i can put it on in the morning and at the end of my day i can still smell it as i move around. I love this scent its one of my favorites for sure

I wanted to like this but I think the heavy notes of sandalwood and vanilla together make it too overpowering. I was hoping for more of a musky scent to come through.

Love it

I was amazed on the scent. I actually will be purchasing a larger size!

This smells like Macy's perfume counter in 1987. Cloyingly sweet and offensive.

This smell has a hint grandma-esc to me.

Soft sensual. Scent keeps lingering and feels feminine yet softly masculine.

This is a great fall/winter scent. It's spicy and woody without being heavy. It will probably make my permanent rotation of scents. Dries a little sweeter than it begins. Love it!

Just about every man that i work close to told me that i smell so good an that they wanted to stand behind my chair all day lol its a winner!

Very nice scent

This is a very unique scent that has masculine vibe to it. I am super picky with my perfumes so this one is ok. I like perfumes that make me feel womanly and feminine and this one doesn’t unfortunately.

I loved it!!@

I like this perfume. I love the smell of vanilla and that really stood out. However it may have dissipated after a short while. It reminds me of Autumn Nights at Bath and Body. Happy to have a small amount, not sure I would purchase an entire bottle of this.

Love this so much!

Very musky smell the wasn't very a definable "perfume" smell

I am giving this one five stars, even though it starts out a little pungent. I don't know if I could expect more out of a perfume. Long-lasting and delicious, the best part of my day is when I catch a whiff of myself. OK, that's overstating it, but I really, REALLY love this one!

I enjoyed this scent. It is elegant, sweet, and spicy. Perfect for date night!

Perfect for date night

I enjoy this scent, but the smell doesn't last on me, unfortunately.

Sort of masculine but still feminine enough

At first it smells awful...smells like Straight cinnamon yuck! But after a while it starts to smell sweet but I think this would be a men’s cologne rather than a women’s perfume.

Smells great!! Love it!!

I adore this perfume - every time I would wear it, I got told I smell sexy and mysterious. It plays beautifully w my body chemistry and the general smell of being a heavy smoker. Absolutely gorgeous.

Love love love the smell!!! 🖤 it’s perfect! Just wish it’s a little more stronger and stays on you longer!

This is a very sandalwood heavy, simple perfume. Sweet and uncomplicated, moderately long lasting. I like it but it bores me pretty quickly.

This is a nice fragrance, but I was hoping it would smell more like Nirvana Rose.

Loved the scent, but it didn't last all day. Would buy it for a special event, but it's not an every day perfume.

For me... worst scent thur far from Scentbird. I really wish I could send this back! :( I personally did not like AT ALL!

Very Sandalwoody, but in a good way. NOT overpowering at all.

Smells amazing, it just doesn’t last on my skin very long. It also has a strong musk smell so if that bothers you I wouldn’t recommend

This perfume does not smell warm or woody at all. It smells like floral dish soap and I CAN NOT STAND IT. I am so disappointed. I kept smelling it on myself last night and I felt disgusting.

This is a beautifully warm floral scent, perfect for date night. Love it. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars because it doesn’t seem to last throughout the day or evening .

I love this perfume! My husband even liked it and we both agreed it's a very sexy smelling perfume, perfect for date night or a night out! Highly recommend!

I had read such great things about the Elizabeth and James perfumes and decided to go with Black first because I like less floral and somewhat stronger scents like Armani Si and Black Opium. This one is overpowering and much too musky for me. It smells so much like a grandmother that I don't think I'll ever wear it again. Bummer that this was my first scent from Scentbird.

I love both Nirvana Black and Nirvana Amethyst. They’re both good warm sweet cold weather fragrances with some smokiness.

Smells like a grandmom at an old folks home. All I smell is Sandlewood and its very over powering backed by over powering floral smell. Its not what I want to be smelling like at anytime even if I was a grandmom.

Love the fragrance great for Summer a little goes a long way!

It’s just ok, I don’t love it.

I loved this scent!!! My mother in law got this and had me wanting it after smelling it on her.

I enjoyed the scent. The uniqueness was a nice contrast of other scents I’ve tried. It’s not an everyday fragrance, but I enjoyed it on occasion.

The scent has a classic warmth while also being exciting and fresh. Highly reccomend!

Smells amazing

I like a perfume that has a bit of musk to it but this one had more than i would have prefered so 8 love to miz it with something a little lighter but i dont tend to wear it on its own.

Cucumber stands out - this smells like cool summer.

Sensual, sexy, and almost masculine. It lasts all day and isn’t sickeningly sweet.

Love love love this! I feel sexy when I wear this scent. My husband is also a huge fan. Really great for a night out.

I love this entire line, but this fragrance stands out. It's woodsy yet feminine. Loving the compliments!

loved so much that I bought an entire bottle!

Love the spicy scent, perfect for fall!!

I chose this as my first month's fragrance because I have heard everyone RAVING about it, but I do not understand why. I'm 25 years old and I feel like this perfume makes me smell like I am 60 years old (not that there is anything wrong with that age, I just want to remain youthful!) It's an extremely potent musky smell that lasts maybe 30 minutes on me.

I really enjoyed. Its hard for me to find scents that fit my natural pheromone. This one matches perfectly.

I love that this frangrance was very versitille i was able to wear it on many occasions and it smell fresh

I got some compliments on it but overall I didn't feel the scent lasted as long as I perfered

I had never smelled this fragrance before my subscription with Scentbird. The scent is rather plain, kind of sweet, musky, and boozy...but nothing special (in my opinion). The staying power is that of only minutes, and the projection is minimal to none whatsoever. I sprayed the product on my bare skin and also on my clothing, for a total of 5 sprays. Nothing exciting at all about this perfume.

I enjoy this scent very much. It’s a deeper, more intoxicating fragrance.

This scent has been my daily for the past couple weeks. It is soft, powdery and clean with a subtle warmth and a hint of spice. Not overwhelming at all and I can still smell it after a 12hr shift. I only give it 4 stars because I feel it is very similar to a lot of other scents and not very unique. With my chemistry it falls in the same category as Cashmere Mist.

This perfume is woody, dark, mysterious yet also clean and polished. The name is very accurate, I usually pull out this perfume when I am wearing all black.

Don’t like the smell. Was impressed at all 😢

I really like this perfume and it smells unique, dark, and yet still feminine. I’d put it in the same camp as Tom Ford’s darker scents like Black Orchid and Tobacco Vanille but this isn’t quite as rich or complex. It’s still good though and affordable for a bottle. A little goes a long way, too. It reminds me of tobacco, bourbon, vanilla, and wood.

I love the deep and rustic smell! Great scent for fall!

Soft and smells sweet

Very nice

Nice and powdery scent. Lasts quite a while on me.

I have tried and tried to like this perfume but it is just not as described . It smells very powdery and had a musky smell I did not enjoy.

LOVE the complexity of this one and my BF loves it too. Definitely adding this to the list of full size to own!

I have always loved Eliza and James Nirvana . This is my favorite so far from Scentbird.

I love the smell. Whenever I put it on when leaving the house I always get that "Whats that you got on?" Question from everyone. I love the attention and the attention loves me.

Love the scent. Just wish it lasted a little longer.

Nirvana Black is very feminine & sexy fragrance. The projection is good, 7 to 8 hours later i still smelled divine. Lots of compliments. La vie est belle was my favorite, now is Nirvana Black. A winner!!!

Amazing adult sensual vanilla sandalwood. Mixed with Molinard Vanille.. It is a heavenly and kissable sexy scent! I call it perfume alchemy voodoo.. Yup!

This is one of my favorite scents! I can’t put my finger on what it reminds me of but it makes me feel comforted somehow. I really like musky and woodsy smells. Elizabeth and James Nirvana scents are my absolute favorites.

I love a good sandalwood, and Nirvana Black doesn't disappoint. But I would never buy a full bottle at full price. For how deep and warm it is, you'd expect it to last longer (usually base notes like sandalwood stick around). But on me it's very faint after a couple of hours and then completely gone before lunch.

I picked this one based on reviews and I cannot say I’m unhappy with the choice and will use it but feel it’s even a little too old for me. It’s a warm musky scent something maybe my own mother or grandmother would wear. So not something I will select again.

This has just the right amount of vanilla. It’s perfect and very sexy.

This smells so good! Definitely first smell you smell is vanilla but it’s not heavy or too much. I love it!!

Sprayed before work (didn’t bring it with me) and it faded by lunch. Also the scent was not what I was expecting, almost something my grandmother would wear. But I noticed it paired nicely with another fragrance I have.

Love it !!!

I loved the scent very warm and femine, but it doesn't last all day

I love the crisp clean notes of this scent. Purely divine

Truly didn’t think I would enjoy this based on the smell from the bottle. At first seemed very heavy, and too strong for me. I found that a spritz on the back of neck and one on my chest carries the scent all day, and it’s too overpowering. I would love this scent again in the winter.

This scent is amazing. Every time I wore it, I felt fancy. I would definitely purchase the full sized bottle.

I absolutely love this fragrance smells wealthy lol and it lasts all day long gotten lots of compliments!!

This is by far the best smelling perfume I've ever had. Definitely thinking about buying a full bottle. I honestly like this version better than the white one.

Too strong! I couldn’t even use it.

Kinda musky not my style. Smells a little old lady.

I loved this scent the most so far

I want to buy the full size bottle, I love it so much! It’s not like anything I’ve smelled before. I can definitely smell the vanilla. Starts out strong and then settles nicely.

I enjoyed itt

I really like this perfume it’s nice and lightly scented yet with a hint of woodsy to it. The only thing is it doesn’t last all day for me

Love the smell it's awesome.

Nirvana Black has replaced my absolute fave fragrance Dior Hypnotic!!!! Cannot stop adding this to my queue!!!! Love love love this fragrance!!!

One of my all time favorite scents. Love love love.

I loved the scent so did my boyfriend said I smelt like fruity pebbles lol

smells amazing, I am glad I picked it.

From the moment when i first tried this scent, I knew I was going to love it. The fragrence is very soft and lasts for a decent length of time! I move around a lot in my feild of work, and yet the scent remained. I would typically wear this particular fragrence in the evening, to a evening dinner date or elegant gathering, but it is also a fragrence that can be worn at anytime of the day. Whatever tickles your fancy! I would definitely recommend this fragrence to future Scentbird customers!

All time favorite scent ever

This scent lasts about 3-4 hours. The initial spray is very strong but settles into a nice vanilla scent that’s very nice. I’m 28 and work in an office and everyone seemed to like it. Wasn’t my favorite but it’s good for a date night maybe

At first I did not like this scent, it was too masculine, but when I put it on and got used to it I loved it! It has a very warm and rich smell but it isn't overpowering. To me it's definitely a fall scent and I'm looking forward to wearing it for the next few months.
