Elizabeth and James Nirvana White
For me, these perfumes fall into two camps. I either have to have a full bottle or just a rollerball. In the full bottle camp is Black, Bourbon and Rose. In the rollerball camp is Amethyst, French Grey and White. Honestly, they're all nice. It comes down to personal taste.
Today I wore White for the first time. It's simple and pleasant and quite lovely really. I can smell peony at the forefront with a light musk bringing up the rear. Musk and I don't generally play well together but the musk here is gentle enough that it doesn't bother me. I really can't detect the lily-of-the-valley but it's possible that I just can't distinguish between it and the peony.
The thing that I like about all the Elizabeth and James fragrances is that they all have a unisex vibe to them. These particular scents seem to mix with my body chemistry really well. You'd think that their Rose scent might not suit a man but when I wore it, a woman I work with walked by me and told me how nice I smelled. Their scents all have a bit of an edge to them and I appreciate that.
Lasting power varies from poor to good with all of them. White's is good. I put it on this morning and even though it's much lighter 10 hours later, I can still smell it.
Nirvana White doesn't quite appeal to me enough to justify purchasing a full bottle but I am happy with my rollerball and will happily use it until it's completely finished up.
