    What do reviewers say about Nirvana and Zaya?

    This is warmth that doesn't explain itself. Cognac-forward, boozy, with a drydown that stays warm after you've left. Not everyone reaches for it, but those who do keep coming back.Nirvana
    Zaya is sweet, warm, with notes of cognac, praline, and cinnamon. It announces itself clearly. The sillage is present, the longevity holds for hours. This is the one for someone who knows what they.Zaya
