Composed by Bertrand Duchaufour
Mumbai doesn't wait for you to adjust to it. The colors, traffic, music, Bollywood lights, and nights that last until morning all hit you at once. NEELA VERMEIRE BOMBAY BLING captures exactly that joyful, bustling energy of contemporary India.
Green mango, lychee, and blackcurrant open the fragrance juicily, brightly, and slightly tartly. Cardamom and cumin immediately introduce a spicy unrest that prevents the fruit from becoming carelessly sweet.
Frangipani, tuberose, ylang-ylang, gardenia, jasmine, and rose create a lush white-floral heart. It is colorful and playful, yet creamy enough for the composition to retain its fullness.
Vanilla and sandalwood gradually merge with tobacco, patchouli, and Virginian cedar. The finish is warmer, darker, and spicier than the bright opening, like the city after the daytime hustle shifts into night.
Bombay Bling is a 60ml Eau de Parfum signed by Bertrand Duchaufour. It will suit you if you like expressive fruit, white flowers, and creamy spices; it is not for you if you are looking for a quiet, linear, or strictly minimalist fragrance.
