Composed by Bertrand Duchaufour
The scent of tuberose can evoke a memory before you can name it: childhood, a flower market, and the air filled with white petals. NEELA VERMEIRE ESHAL builds a bright floral reverie around a plant that has been with Neela Vermeire her entire life.
The opening is green, crisp, and refreshing. Bitter orange, lime, and turmeric cut through the opulence of tuberose with a citrus tension and a dry, earthy-spicy tone.
Tuberose then spreads over the skin, but it doesn't become heavy. Beeswax gives it a honeyed, warm texture, as if the green stems and white petals remained enclosed in a thin layer of wax.
Peruvian balsam, patchouli, and labdanum deepen the composition, while cinnamon and vanilla leave a soft warmth. The finish is balsamic, calm, and rounded.
Eshal is a 60ml extrait signed by Bertrand Duchaufour. It is intended for the tuberose lover who seeks greenness, honey, and depth in it; it will not suit someone who wants a light, airy, or unobtrusively clean floral scent.
