The Philosophy of Neela Vermeire Creations
Neela Vermeire Creations is a brand that doesn’t just create perfumes, but tells stories through its fragrances. Founded by Neela Vermeire, originally from India and now residing in Paris, the brand draws deep inspiration from India’s traditions, art, and spirituality. Each perfume is a sensory journey that transports the wearer to different eras and regions of the Indian subcontinent, exploring its rich history and culture. Neela Vermeire has worked alongside the talented perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour to craft these scents, capturing the essence of India in every drop.
The philosophy behind Neela Vermeire Creations is simple yet profound: to create perfumes that are not only a pleasure to wear but also tell stories, evoking memories and sensations that connect people with a unique culture. Every fragrance from the brand is meticulously crafted, using high-quality ingredients and unparalleled creativity to ensure each perfume has its own distinct personality.
Among the brand’s most renowned fragrances are Mohur, Bombay Bling, and Ashoka, each of which celebrates a different facet of India: from the luxurious Mughal dynasty palaces to the vibrant and modern city of Bombay. However, Neela Vermeire Creations’ latest release, Eshal, stands out as a masterpiece of elegance and sophistication.
Eshal is a fragrance that captures the grace and serenity of India’s gardens, with a captivating blend of floral, spicy, and woody notes that evoke a sense of luxury and exoticism. It is a feminine and refined scent, designed for the modern woman who seeks something unique and rich in history. The name Eshal means Flower of Paradise, and the main flower in the fragrance is tuberose absolute, which gives it a rich and creamy floral signature.
Eshal Olfactory Pyramid:
Top Notes: Bergamot, Mandarin, Lemon, Raspberry
Heart Notes: Tuberose Absolute, Iris, Rose
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Amber, Musk, Vanilla, Cedarwood
The fresh citrus and fruity notes at the top blend seamlessly with the exotic, velvety florals in the heart. The tuberose absolute adds a luxurious, creamy floral depth, while the iris and rose contribute sophistication. Finally, the woody and oriental base notes provide depth and longevity, creating a fragrance that lasts all day and becomes a sensual whisper on the skin.
Choosing a fragrance from Neela Vermeire Creations is embarking on a sensory journey to India. Each perfume is a work of art that doesn’t just make you smell good; it tells a story, captures an emotion, and revives a tradition. With carefully selected ingredients and a backstory that reflects the beauty of India, each fragrance becomes a unique experience.
From early creations like Mohur, which evokes the royal gardens of the Mughal dynasty, to Bombay Bling, which mirrors the vibrant modernity of the city of Bombay, Neela Vermeire Creations has become a renowned name in the world of perfumery.
With Eshal, the brand continues to demonstrate its commitment to creating fragrances that are not only elegant and sophisticated but also deeply connected to India’s rich cultural heritage.
If you are a lover of fragrances that tell stories, evoke sensations, and transport you to other worlds, Eshal is undoubtedly a fragrance you don’t want to miss.
Personally, I am absolutely in love with Eshal. It brings a modern twist to the classic, blending timeless beauty with a contemporary edge that makes it feel fresh and exciting.
