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.

The orris and white leather notes create a soft, powdery floral and woody perfume that feels like a contemporary take on a timeless, slightly vintage, elegance. The Italian Orris Concrete LMR is a rich and powerful floral note with a powdery character, a violet facet and a woody base. Combined with the suede-like white leather it is refined, soft and ethereal moonlight shining through clouds.

The bright opening notes are radiant but understated, they complement the heart, rather than outshine it. The Sicilian green mandarin is handpicked and cold pressed, lending a floral, fruity accent, slightly sweet, slightly zesty. The pink pepper is spicy and aromatic, harmonising the citrusy green mandarin, adding slightly woody, pine facets that reach down to the woody base.

Paul Guerlain built this perfume on patchouli, a scent long emblematic of India, as a tribute to the brand’s inspiration. The Indonesian patchouli in Orris Nirvana is clean and elegant with a woody earthy character, minty and camphoraceous facets on a sweet, mossy bed. Combined with the dry, slightly creamy sandalwood and musk it is a sophisticated, grounding base that feels timeless.

The powdery notes combined with the woody base feel like the intersection of blissful naivety and ancient wisdom, where olfactory modern minimalism meets timeless depth.

"Nirvana, the still point where the soul dissolves into silence, beyond longing, beyond form. A breathless hush of liberation, where fragrance becomes pure presence."

Nirvana is a state of profound stillness where the ego disappears. A place where the soul connects with the infinite and eternal. A sense of radiant lightness. A moment of silence after a meditative chant, the space between inhalation and exhalation.

This state of blissful stillness is the inspiration behind Orris Nirvana, a soul soaring to an imagined soft white silent and radiant cloud, realised in olfactory form.

CHAKRAS

During meditation, focus on several chakras depending on how you are feeling and start by working through those chakras from root to the crown. To reduce anxiety, focus on the root chakra for grounding and security, or the heart chakra for emotional calm. If you're looking to balance your emotions, the heart chakra and for intellectual clarity, the third eye chakra.

Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)
The crown chakra (Sahasrara) is often considered the most prominent chakra for spiritual awakening. It's located at the top of the head and is believed to connect individuals to their higher self, enlightenment, and spirituality. Opening this chakra is thought to foster a sense of unity and connection to the divine. It's considered the gateway to higher consciousness and the realization of one's true potential.

Third Eye Chakra (Ajna)
While the crown chakra is the primary chakra for spiritual awakening, the third eye chakra also plays a significant role. It's associated with intuition, insight, and wisdom, which are crucial aspects of spiritual growth.
