‘This meditative powdery woody orris with leather, patchouli, sandalwood and musk accords, is a scent to send your soul soaring into peaceful white clouds of calm. Nirvana is a state of perfect peace. The inspiration for perfumer Paul Guerlain, is to create a perfume where the soul soars, dissolving into silence, beyond desire, suffering, identity and form. The blend of orris with hints of violets and woodiness with suede and soft musks, is the heart of this powdery floral, woody ‘skin’ scent. A rich, earthy, woody patchouli creates a grounding base, elevated by radiant opening notes of pink pepper and green mandarin. Harmonious and comforting, Orris Nirvana is warm and soft with a vintage sophistication, it feels like peace in a pure white cloud.’ – Ataratma
