Nirvana Black Perfume Oil

Although I adore the Nirvana Black EDP, I have to admit that the lasting power of the perfume oil isn't as great as I'd hoped it would be. It lasts about 2 to 3 hours and is much lighter than the EDP. I think the vanilla is also stronger in this form and I don't notice any violet at all. I do really love the scent of it though and it smells lovely when layered with the Nirvana White version as well as a lot of other perfumes. I also adore the little dropper mechanism. It's very portable and such a cute idea. I would recommend the Perfume Oil only if you intend to use it as a nice sandalwood-vanilla to layer with other scents, but if you want to touch up the EDP throughout the day, the EDP rollerball would work much better.

I got a great deal on the perfume oil and layer it under the perfume. It really seems to improve the longevity of the perfume. I had originally gotten the body oil with the perfume as a gift sent. I wear a greater quantity of that along with the perfume on days when I want to *really* smell like Nirvana Black. Neither are necessary, but both are nice to have and relatively cheap now that the fragrance has been discontinued.

A light little diddy that is simple and easy. Perfect for office wear. Basically consider it Tam Dao with a dash of violet and vanilla.

Just have to correct a misconception: the Nirvana oil is a bottle of 14 ml (0.47 fl oz) and not just 4 ml..

This is a very woody vanilla that’s entirely wearable for a guy. Don’t judge a book but it’s cover, the first 15 mins are a little ‘perfumey’ but rest assure as the dry down arrives that depletes rapidly and the woods overtake. The woods smell a little more like bark than just straight sandlewood. It emits nicely off the skin with subtle warmth of vanilla behind it. It's only very mildly sweet on my skin. More woody than sweet. The violet is pretty near unnoticeable on me, perhaps only in the top. I am testing using the 10ml rollerball oil version.
