Neela Vermeire Créations - Ashoka

Winner in the Independent Category at this year's Institute of Art and Olfaction Awards in Los Angeles.

Imperial Buddhist

Inspired by a legendary ruler, Neela Vermeire Créations’ new release Ashoka, is a tribute to an emperor who was conquered by his own compassion at the moment his victory was assured.

He converted to Buddhism and devoted the rest of his life to spreading the Buddha’s teachings, to truth, to justice and to compassion for all living creatures beneath the sun.

His own evolution from ruthless conqueror to benevolent emperor is reflected in Ashoka’s journey from the fierce opening to a softly floral heart & the gentle embrace of its richly complex drydown.

Neela Vermeire presents a fragrance collection inspired by the history, culture, nature and modern life of India. Discover her India!


As a perfume connoisseur, Neela was well aware of the difference that good, pure natural ingredients make. She began her collaboration with Bertrand Duchaufour by giving him free rein to select the precious essences and resins that would do justice to the sensual splendour of India. The result? Fragrance formulas that contain such a high concentration of natural oud, rose and jasmine essences, genuine Mysore sandalwood, flowers and spices that it seems insane from a purely commercial point of view.


You will notice this selection of precious ingredients – from the first splash to the long-lasting base...


Neela Vermeire

India's origins are shrouded in the mysteries of antiquity, and the oldest historical information comes from ancient legends. Meanwhile, modern reality pulsates with vitality and youth. Every encounter with this country's magnificent cultural heritage takes your breath away and awakens a longing for more.


This destiny inspired Neela Vermeire to dedicate the first three fragrances in her collection to this country – her homeland – while living and working in Paris, her adopted home and the capital of fragrances. Neela's education in social sciences and law is not directly related to the art of perfumery, but her youth in India shaped her ‘olfactory development’.


Neela's sources of inspiration are mainly her childhood memories and her many trips to visit her family in India. She herself is proof that even if you move around a lot and live in many different places around the world, you never forget your memories of India.


Neela's enthusiasm for art and fragrances was encouraged by her family during her childhood. This fragrance project stems from the intimate connection to the three eras of Indian history that developed during her long journey. Each of these fragrances is unique, just like each era, yet connected to the others.


They all pay tribute to olfactory inspirations from a wide variety of sources, such as Indian spirituality, history and the breathtaking landscape of the peaceful Himalayas, the mountain resorts and port cities, the art and diverse architecture, the wonderful food, the music, the cinema and the vibrant colours of India.


To develop her India-inspired fragrances, Neela had the pleasure of working with Bertrand Douchaufour, the famous French perfumer and fan of India, and legendary bottle designer Pierre Dinand.
