Eshal, or the Art of Listening Through Scent

In the universe of artistic perfumery, certain creations do not simply present a fragrance; they offer a state of being. Eshal, by Neela Vermeire Creations, belongs to this rare category. It is not a declaration, nor a provocation. It is a quiet revelation - one that unfolds slowly, with dignity, depth, and an unmistakable sense of love.

The name Eshal evokes the idea of a Flower of Paradise, yet what it delivers is far from a literal floral fantasy. Instead, it offers a deeply human interpretation of beauty - complex, warm, luminous, and grounded. This is a fragrance that does not seek to impress instantly; it invites trust, patience, and intimacy.

At its heart lies tuberose - one of perfumery’s most misunderstood flowers. Here, tuberose is neither overpowering nor theatrical. It is tender, almost introspective, shaped with remarkable restraint and sensitivity.

Under the direction of Neela Vermeire, and composed by Bertrand Duchaufour, Eshal approaches tuberose not as an object of excess, but as a living presence. The flower breathes. It listens. It evolves.

From the very first moments, the fragrance opens with light rather than sweetness - citrus notes that feel sunlit but calm, like early morning rather than noon. There is clarity, freshness, and space. Nothing shouts; everything is placed.

As the fragrance develops, the tuberose reveals itself gradually, enriched by warm spices that add texture rather than heat. Cinnamon and turmeric appear not as accents of drama, but as gentle shadows, giving the floral heart depth and gravity. This is a tuberose that has memory - one that carries warmth, experience, and wisdom.

The dry-down is profoundly comforting. Resins, beeswax, balsams, and vanilla create a soft, enveloping aura, as if the fragrance were resting on skin rather than sitting above it. There is something almost sacred in this final phase - an echo of ritual, intimacy, and stillness.

An Act of Respect

What makes Eshal truly special is not only its composition, but its intention. This is a fragrance created with reverence - for raw materials, for cultural memory, and for the wearer. It does not impose a character; it accompanies one.

There is an unmistakable sense that Eshal was composed with care, patience, and emotional intelligence. Every transition feels considered. Every note has purpose. Nothing is decorative; everything is meaningful.

In a time when perfumery often leans toward spectacle, Eshal chooses sincerity. It speaks softly, yet it stays. It is the kind of fragrance that becomes part of one’s inner world rather than an external statement.

Eshal is not about gender, season, or trend. It is about presence. It is about the quiet confidence that comes from harmony. It is about the beauty of balance - between light and warmth, flower and resin, body and soul.

This is a perfume for those who understand that true luxury lies not in excess, but in depth. For those who seek emotion rather than attention. For those who believe that fragrance, at its highest level, is an act of love.

And in Eshal, that love is palpable.
