Fancy, crips
I blind bought this when I learned the Nirvana line was being discontinued. I love lavender, so I was expecting this to be a favorite.

To me, this smells clean and fancy. Like a barbershop, but with a more traditionally feminine touch.

It smells like a Von Maur department store.

It reminds me of my grandmother, a Chicagoan born in the 1920s. This is not a dig at the fragrance: I feel confident and put together when I wear it.

Memories
This one caught me by surprise. I picked it up because I found it for stupid cheap at a discount store. Initially, I considered it a pretty, safe floral. But there's a moodiness to it that elevates it beyond just smelling "nice."

I wore this quite a bit while I was living in a beach town during the melancholic autumn months, so I have a specific scent memory associated with this that conjures a chilly, salty breeze cutting through the warm, sunny afternoon.

Intimate, beautiful, and very good at drawing people closer to you.

Very strong lavender scent. It smells a lot like clean laundry

The lavender is more of a suggestion I can feel in my nose, not a scent. Otherwise, cucumber water. What a pity.

This is my favorite rainy day scent. Beautiful and melancholy. I don’t find this soapy, just floral fresh.

I find this the least interesting of the Nirvana line, but easy to like nonetheless. Timeless, very clean, with just a little musky warmth.

Neroli & Lavender
a loving couple
They don't like it sweet
Instead, it's clean and fresh
Neroli holds the scepter
It would have been nice the other way around

Starts with lavender and a herbal note, then becomes powdery after a while. A lovely, calming scent.
