ELIZABETH AND JAMES: NIRVANA WHITE AND NIRVANA BLACK
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen latest project is a fashion brand named Elizabeth and James after their remaining siblings, which presents two dynamic, contradictory personalities merged into an outstanding balance—”Elizabeth’s uptown sophistication and feminine detail is paired with James’ laidback, downtown edge and masculine tailoring.” (elizabethandjames.us). They are launching two new fragrances under this brand—Nirvana White and Nirvana Black.
Both perfumes are described as sensual, edgy and mysterious. Nirvana Black is a woody fragrance, dark and somewhat masculine although intended for women. It was created by perfumer Pierre Negrin. The fragrance is built around accords of violet, sandalwood and vanilla. Nirvana White is a musky-floral fragrance composed of peony, lily of the valley and musk, signed by Honorine Blanc.
The bottle design strives for simplicity, sensuality, luxury and a modern, but not too modern, look. The fragrances are available as 30 and 50 ml Eau de Parfum with an additional mini rollerball edition.
