Mohur

Mohur is one of the most personal creations from Neela Vermeire Creations. Inspired by memories of India, historic palaces, silk, horses and the refined grandeur of a bygone era, Neela Vermeire and perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour created a fragrance that beautifully bridges tradition and modernity.

Named after the historic gold Mohur coin, a symbol of prestige and cultural heritage, the fragrance embodies elegance and refinement throughout its composition. Mohur does not seek attention through volume but through sophistication, depth and timeless beauty.

The opening is immediately captivating. Cardamom, coriander seed and pink pepper create a refined spicy introduction softened by the powdery elegance of carrot seed. Soon a magnificent rose emerges, becoming the emotional heart of the fragrance. Rich and velvety, it feels luxurious without becoming overly classic.

At the heart, violet and almond nuances add a silky texture that enhances the regal character of the composition. The fragrance feels smooth, graceful and beautifully balanced.

As it develops, tonka bean, sandalwood, leather, musk and patchouli create warmth and depth. The leather remains subtle yet distinctive, lending the fragrance an aristocratic character that perfectly complements the floral heart.

The result is an exceptionally sophisticated niche fragrance where rose, spices, powdery elegance and soft leather accords come together in a timeless composition.
