About Nirvana French Grey

Fragrance Family:

Floral

Scent Type:

Fresh, aromatic, soft

Notes:

Nirvana French Grey opens with a refreshing burst of neroli, which provides a unique and slightly bitter yet fresh citrus aroma. This compound presents a different, not very pleasant taste, and yet, it is a refreshing citrus scent. The central part of the scent pyramid is reserved for the liveliness of lavender that spreads a floral smell reminiscent of a soft, soothing breeze. The musk is the main character of this fragrance's base, having a faintly animalic and warm finish that is just perfect to add as the last touch. The combination of these aspects results in a pleasingly calming yet vibrant mixture.

Suggested Use

For optimal results, apply Nirvana French Grey by Elizabeth and James to pulse points where the body radiates warmth. Focus on areas such as the wrists, the base of the neck, and behind the ears. This ensures the floral and musky notes are amplified throughout the day, offering a longer-lasting fragrance experience. Ideal for both daytime elegance and evening sophistication, it's a versatile addition to any fragrance collection.

Me in a bottle

This is my favorite E&J fragrance, by far!! I have them all, except for the rose one, which is intentional. I love layering with this line, and I believe it's what it was made for. Amethyst on its own, is everything I've been looking for in a signature sent, but it's projection is kinda weak. It

lasts for a while, but remains close to the skin. I love pairing it with French Grey, since this scent is stronger and they compliment each other perfectly. Don't get it twisted, the sweet, leathery, tobacco scent of Amethyst sticks around and lingers in the best way. It's a secret, only for that certain, special someone, lucky enough to get close to you.

Nice Perfume

This is a nice smelling perfume, but something about the sandalwood drydown feels outdated and gives me 90's vibes. But overall a nice, feminine leaning musk style perfume. Not as smooth as niche fragrances but good for the value.

Fresh and clean

I loved it during summer. It's a fresh floral herbal kind of scent. Just loved it. If only this scent didn't fade as fast on me as it did.

Loving the Neroli Top Notes in Nirvana French Grey

Neroli is orange blossom, and this is the scent that comes through in this fragrance. I liked it so much that I purchased a second bottle right away. I don't want to run out of my new signature fragrance.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

So fresh and so clean

Okay, so this fragrance is a lovely floral. It smells like freshly cleaned linens. I love to spray it on my bedding, because it seriously lasts soooo long on cotton and makes my bedroom smell divine. It's a lil' too floral and soapy for me to wear it on it's own, so I love to layer it with amethyst during the day and at night, I layer it with Armani Si intense and the combination is bonkers!!

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Amethyst Nirvana

My new signature sent. It's kind of a spicy vanilla that has a underlining sophisticated tobacco sent. This reminds me of Creed Sublime vanilla mixed with a touch of Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille. My too sought out fragrances. This is more of a unisex sent that grabs attention of both sexes.

I would buy this product again

Opens with gorgeous neroli, but that disappears in a matter of minutes... Ends up as a lavender/musk/laundry detergent scent. It's pleasant, but I so wish the neroli wasn't so fleeting..

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Smells like fancy French soap

If you're looking for a clean, soapy, floral then this is a good match for you. Although I can appreciate it's composition, it's not my style. Very pretty but not unisex enough for my taste.

I love this 'perfume'

The tobacco and leather are string with this scent. It is NOT floral at all. It does not smell like typical perfume at ALL, which is why I love it. It is strong at first and then fades into a nice subtle scent that lasts all day. The scent lasts a long time but does not remain overpowering.

One of my all time favorite fragrances

I really love Elizabeth and James fragrances and this one is my favorite. It is a cozy and unique fragrance that is beautiful in it's simplicity. I love that E and J fragrances don't have a "perfume-y" quality that so many fragrances do. Was very glad to find it here for a great price.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
