Based on the original eau de parfum, Neela Vermeire now presents Mohur Extrait. The perfume has been left to macerate much longer to allow the fragrance notes to fully blossom. The deep concentration of rose, oud, woods, leather, spices evolve into an intoxicating perfume offering the wearer a unique olfactory experience.
From the Mughals to British India.
Known as Mehr-un-Nisa, the most powerful Empress of the Mughal dynasty, Noor Jahan was the favorite wife of Emperor Jehangir. She was the true power behind the throne while her husband lived, so much so that after his death her male relatives had her sequestered (in comfort!) for the rest of her life. In her confinement, she devoted herself to the art of perfumery as it had been passed down from her mother.
Mohur is a rose-based fragrance, a combination of opulent moghul rose perfumes and a distinguished spicy leather bouquet that can only be imagined during a high tea after a polo match. To capture this moment, Mohur has been created as a refined rose-oudh alliance that pays tribute to Noor Jahan’s power and talent.
The scent embodies, and is a dedication to, the mix of all the best of Mogul and the British Raj – a complex period in history for Indians which saw the flowering of unique gifts of the arts, music and education.
