It was ??!! The smell just smells so good I need to have this here fragrance on auto to just let it keep coming because it smells that darn good. We should get discounts for these reviews because this one here is as real as it gets and the smell you won’t be disappointed at all. A Must Have! I need a big bottle!

It's very fresh and and floral scented. I love it.

This is spicy but in a good way, sort of a light spicy. Very good, like a clean sort of spicy. I like it more than I thought I would.

Elegant. A bit of vanilla and reminds me of clean sheets.

I’m ordering it. Great fresh scent and not too much for summer hot days.

I liked it. Elegant and soft. Lavender is prominent at first but other notes come out as it dries down so it becomes more complex. I think it is more a spring-summer scent than fall-winter. It is not a warm, cold weather scent, rather light, floral, aromatic, reminds of garden scents blown on the wind.

Give it a few hours and it turns into something magical

Smells like something an older women would wear

Its a very light floral smell. I'm not a floral type person but this was soft in my opinion. I'd consider this more of an early fall or late winter smell. I only sprayed once so fragrance lasted a short time. If I sprayed 2 times than it would last longer but I wanted to make sure I wouldn't get a headache if I sprayed 1 time.

Honestly the sent is long last, but it smells like something you would see older women wear.

Lovely! Immediately a fan. After dry down it became more alluring..sexy. this is my first time trying an E&J scent...won't be my last!

Very warm, alluring and long-lasting. I'm really enjoying it!

A little vintage at first the dry down is soft and beautiful. I have had this fragrance before and look forward to enjoying my travel size.

Nirvana is so Nirvana!!!! It speaks for itself ……….

I thought I wouldn't like this when I first smelled it. However, I gave it a spray on my wrist to try it on. At first I thought it smells like musty old lady soap. I thought about returning it, but after 30 minutes it settled down and I found myself smelling my wrist over and over again. I'm glad I gave it a chance and didn't immediately return it! The dry down scent is so nice, I can smell the vanilla and lavender with a touch of citrus. It's a very fresh, soapy scent. Kind of reminds me of a more mature version of Amazing Grace by Philosophy. Like you just stepped out a french spa or something.

I love the scent, it is a soft light fragrance

Musky but sweet. A little on the strong side, but wears forever on clothes. More of a party/evening scent. I like it!

Love it. Something a little different than the run of the mill florals. Makes me happy. Still getting used to it but I am considering a full sized bottle!

Musky and feminine. It smells great, but doesn’t last. Not my favorite of Elizabeth James, but it’s worth a try.

Love... I get a lot of compliments

Lovely warm scent.

I just hated it

It smells wonderful I love it!!

Another fine Nirvana fragrance. Not as warm as the others so it’s perfect for warmer weather. Perfect for fall and even works for summer on me. Long lasting like the others. It’s beautiful.

So beautiful and feminine. I love this fragrance! It is long lasting perfect for the office and drinks after!

Very nice fragrance. Light and fun.

Very pretty and warm. The vanilla scent really smells beautiful when you smell closely to your skin, but gets musky the further away from the skin you smell. I wont buy the full size. I will use on colder nights out and only a few spritzes as it could easily becoming overwhelming.

Not as unique as I was hoping, but pretty nonetheless

I actually liked this one more than I thought I would. I've been with scentbox for awhile so I thought I should try some scents out of my comfort zone since this perfume had few reviews I love that the lavender can be smelled with this one, which seems to be rare with perfumes that list lavender. Not a super strong perfume and does not last super long, maybe around hours. It smells like lavender, a little floral, and gives me sophisticated vibes. Not my favorite, but honestly, not bad :)

Really dislike this one. I’ll be returning it. Smells very old.

Loved it! It's not a scent I'd normally pick but it smells really good.

Not a fan. Very old lady-esque, but not in a good way.

Clean linen type of scent. I can see why some would think of cleaning products. I think lavender and citrus combos tend to give that impression. All in all an inoffensive scent. Unisex

Didn't particularly care for this fragrance. Didn't like the floral scent

I’m not head over heels but I don’t absolutely hate it either lol. I find to really love it paired with my glossier you perfume!! I also love the dry down of it by itself on my skin !! I’m keeping it so it already says enough !

It stinks! Lol! I won't even give it to a friend, because I love them :> this is being returned and I am exchanging it. Skip it, its like floor cleaner mixed with earl grey and furniture polish. It's awful..

When I first used this I honestly was like. Nope not for me. It after it sat a bit I had my husband smell it and the citrus notes really coke through. I really enjoy wearing this now. I would describe it as a dark citrus. More of a scent for when you want to be more mature or classy.

It might have to do with body chemistry. I hated this perfume when I first smelled it, smelled like an old lady. I wore it on my wrists in an effort to give it a chance and if I didn’t continue to smell it on my wrists like I was addicted. It smells so lovely when it warms to me. I wore it for my wedding I’m on my 3rd full size bottle of it and my husband and I spray it on our pillows most nights. Reminds me of a clean beachy evening. It’s not a beach scent but for some reason that’s what it reminds me of. I LOVE this perfume.

The initial smell wasn't something that i would like but after wearing it for a few minutes, i came to like it.

Awful. Submitted for an exchange right away. Woodsy and aromatic. Not what I was expecting

I bought a sample because I will be in Paris for my birthday next month and it isn't EXACTLY what I imagined smelling like a weekend in Paris but I like the smell

I like it but it isn't something I would wear every day. It doesn't really smell like lavender which is my favorite scent. Its nice but not amazing like I was hoping. Still looking for the scent for me.

I returned.. not my thing

So yummy!

Not good at all!!

Excellent. As usual another unique fragrance from Elizabeth and James

It's a lovely musky scent with a fresh touch. It's definitely a bold scent. Loved it.

To soft

I did not like it. It is kind of strong for me but it was my fault because I did want to try it. I will not order it anymore.

I didn’t really love the smell. It’s OK, will not buy again. Liked that the smell wasn’t overpowering, reason I didn’t return it.

More powdery than I prefer. Will try it but not a fan.

Smelled kind of like an old lady

Don't love it..

Nice soft scent.

Love it! My husband really loved it. I bought a whole bottle.

Mature scent that is a bit heavy for me.

Not impressed with this fragrance. Smells like your grandma's house.

Did not care for it. Smells like grandma to me

This is a nice scent but not perfect. It's so hard to find a lavender perfume, and the lavender doesn't really come forward here. I can smell hints of it, but the neroli scent is stronger with a musky, smoky-sweet tobacco base. It's a more mature scent, but not in a bad way, and not an old lady smell. It lasted about 4 hours before I had to reapply, so not super long lasting either.

THE BEST FREAKING PERFUME NEXT TO HUGO BOSS!!!!!! Most definitely will be buying a whole bottle asap!

I love the Nirvana fragrances, but not head over heels with " Grey"! Slightly too flowery... Good for layering and softening some of my other perfumes. My favorite type of fragrances are more unisex.

I don't hate it. When I first sprayed it I love it, but when it dries down it kind of reminds me of Chanel No.5 with the powdery smell. Which is bad, it just has a more of a mature smell, than for someone under 30. Definitely won't be buying a larger bottle, will sporadically use it for nicer events.

Definitely a strong perfume but I love the way it smells.

Lovely fragrance one of the best in the nirvana family.

This is my least favorite of the Nirvana scents. I was so excited to get it, since I love the rest of the line, and was really disappointed. It just smells flat and a little “old lady” to me. It lacks the complexity of the other scents.
