Neela Vermeire Creations Ashoka ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 28 March 2013 13 Comments

Neela Vermeire Créations

Neela Vermeire Créations will launch Ashoka, a tribute to the emperor of the same name (269-232 BCE) who converted to Buddhism after a series of military conquests.

Ashoka was developed by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. The notes feature fig leaves, leather, white and pink lotus, mimosa, fig milk, osmanthus, rose, water hyacinth, vetiver, styrax, incense, sandalwood, myrrh, tonka bean and fir balsam.

Neela Vermeire Créations Ashoka will be available in 55 ml Eau de Parfum; look for it to launch this fall.

(via press release)
