Neela Vermeire Creations Niral ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 3 March 2018 22 Comments

French niche line Neela Vermeire Créations will launch Niral, a new fragrance.

The fragrance NIRAL (unique, calm, serene) is a perfume inspired by an interesting and unique relationship between British sericulture expert, author, printing-dyeing industrialist Sir Thomas Wardle (1831-1909) and India, celebrating his immense contribution to the promotion of Indian wild silk trade from Bengal and Kashmir to Europe.

[...] Wardle perfected the technique for natural dyeing of the textured “tussar” silk, achieving stunning jewel toned colours reflected in our new box. His wife, Lady Elizabeth Wardle, founded the Leek Embroidery Society working on artistic needlework projects with tussar silk.

NIRAL, through its blend of rich raw materials is an ode to this quietly forceful silk ambassador. The perfume opens with iris, tea and liqueur notes weaving an intricate pattern with floral notes and spices akin to the textural delight of a piece of tussar silk, and symbolizing a unique relationship between two countries linked by a common heritage.

Niral was developed by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. Additional notes include pink pepper, rose, lie de vin verte, cabreuva, angelica seed, ambrette seed, cardamom, leather, magnolia, jasmine, sandalwood and cedar.

Neela Vermeire Créations Niral will be available in 60 ml Eau de Parfum.

    I’m so looking forward to trying it. I love Neela as a person and I have 2 of NVC fragrances in my collection.

    And bottle for Niral is gorgeous

        “For our new creation NIRAL, we have redesigned our packaging blending
        the purple colour of our Mohur Extrait and our EDP flacon, cradled in soft
        champagne gold within a two toned silken purple jewel box.”

    Oh my, this is so exciting. Iris and tea, liquor and spices?!

    I wonder what lie de vin verte and cabreuva are.

      And cabreuva is a wood note:

    The celebration of a white man in India? A common heritage? Hmm. That’s one view of colonialization and slaughter. I’d be much quicker to write it off if Neela herself weren’t Indian. I can’t imagine not trying this one, though, being a huge NVC fan.

      Yes to this. It’s so endemic to the perfume world – or parts of it – and so strange to me how unthinking and unapologetic it is.

      Neela is a beautiful and joyous soul, one who is capable of celebrating the good in things, while letting go of the negative and not dwelling in the past.

      Several of her fragrances have been about connections between India and Europe, see

    I have all of Neela Vermerie’s fragrance and I am sure I will eventually own this one as well. I’m so happy it will be an Iris oriented scent! Do you know when it will be launched?
