WOO HOO!
Now you all know what a huge fan and friend I am of Neela Vermeire. You also may remember that I am such a devoted fan I went and met her and her husband T with Jin in 2013 and then hung out with her again this year in Paris with Michael. We chat as often as we can on Skype and I love her to the core of my being.
Last time we were together I questioned the luxe value of her samples and discovery set. Well, she told me that it was a problem already being dealt with by the company and that I had to wait and see what was on the cards for later this year. I am extremely pleased to announce the most elegant and lavishly presented…..
Neela Vermeire Creations 4 x 8ml Discovery Set 2014
Yes, it now has 4 x 8ml. Your gateway to incredible fragrances created by Bertrand Duchaufour with Neela. Every one a tantalising taste of India done in a very French style, an amazing quartet and each one very different from the other. In my nose these are the diamonds in Duchaufour’s work and Ashoka recently won the Art & Olfaction Award for Independent Perfume. A huge honour and Neela is completely chuffed.

Yay is right! Neela is so special. You’re pretty nifty, too, Portia. Spending time with the two of you in the same room would be WAY too fun. Happy to see the new Discovery set! It’s gorgeous. Congratulations to Neela on the Art & Olfaction award!
What an adorable photo.

Portia, what a gorgeous set you got there! So far I tried only one of Neela’s (Ashoka) but I have a strong suspicion that I would love the whole range of frags by her.
By the way, lovely photo of you two!! 🙂

Neela seems so completely lovely. How nice that the two of you have become such good friends.
The new set looks gorgeous and very luxe. Bombay Bling is my fave but I’m looking forward to trying Ashoke at Roulier White at the end of the month.

Tara,
Neela is a gem, I am so glad we’ve become buddies too.
Jin wears Bombay Bling as one of his 3 signature scents. I await your trying of Ashoka, it is quite a different experience to the other three.

That’s a tempting little package! I will have to find a way to make one of those mine. It’s so much nicer to have a little of all those wonderful scents and not have to decide on just one for a full bottle. Although I will have Trayee one day in a full bottle. That’s a must have to me.

Hey Poodle,
Trayee is lovely but I wasa so overwhelmed originally with the other two that I’ve not really spent much time with it. I am excited to go back and spend some time rediscovering its multifaceted beauty.

That’s a very pretty set indeed. I am very eager to see what you will write about Trayee. I think it is the most brilliant of the four, and I am smitten with all of them. Write soon!

Hi there FeralJasmine,
Yes, the set looks so beautiful. Neela and T have outdone themselves, the whole experience is now as luxe as the brand and only a few dollars more, with postage included.
Trayee will be my SOTD for a couple of days next week.

Really want to get my hands on one of these… recently discovered Trayee and think it’s beautiful. Wondering what the rest of the collection is like!

Hi TheAL,
If you love Trayee then I think the rest of them will also blow you away. Bertrand Duchaufour says Neela is his most exacting client and I believe it. She has a vision and is a purist, nothing but perfection will make her happy. The frags are proof of this dedication to an ideal.
