On the polo field, the opulence of the Mughal court meets the strict elegance of the British Raj. NEELA VERMEIRE MOHUR is named after the most valuable gold coin in Indian history, last minted in 1918.
Cardamom, coriander, and pepper open the fragrance dry and refined. Ambrette, carrot seed, and elemi give the spices softness, earthy warmth, and a subtle resinous glow.
Rose stands at the center, surrounded by iris, jasmine, violet, and almond. It is not loud or overly sweet; it acts like a rich fabric over which the spices slowly spread.
Leather settles on sandalwood, oud, and benzoin, with amber, patchouli, vanilla, and tonka. The finish is woody, resinous, and calm, but leaves a beautifully shaped trail.
Mohur is a 60 ml Eau de Parfum signed by Bertrand Duchaufour. It is intended for those who want a sophisticated oriental rose with leather and spices; it is not for you if you are looking for a very sweet rose or aggressive projection.
