Neela Vermeire has always been a line of unmatched elegance, where the rich cultural heritage of India and the refinement of western perfumery go hand in hand to create enchanting, delightful fragrances. Niral, from a Hindi word and name connoting uniqueness and serenity, is inspired by Sir Thomas Wardle, a 19th-century expert in the sericulture and the Indian wild silk trade, and so it's only appropriate that the fragrance is a stunningly smooth blend of florals, spices and musks that's as silky as they come.

Opening with a refined iris, smoothed with tea and liqueur notes to balance earthy, papery and floral in perfect equilibrium, Niral gently reveals a luxuriously rich, yet subtle heart of rose, spice and musks, atop an equally serene base of precious woods and supple leather. Like Sir Thomas's silk, which was used by the eras most prestigious designers and textile artists, it's sheer textural delight, softness and sophistication all in one, and a melding of the most elegant techniques that both India and Europe have to offer- you won't want to miss it.

Here's what other people are saying about Niral...

This was raisinier than I expected from the list of notes. Deep and rich and a little spicy. Like a malbec or an old zin.

This perfume is one of the most beautiful scents I have ever put my nose on. If you are a lover of iris, tea, rose, or violets, Niral is a must-try. It isn't the normal rose-violet powder essence, it's more like a iris-rose-tea-violet veil. Violet is not listed as a note, nor is it a primary accord here, but I detect something like it. Niral is beautifully blended - seamlessly blended. It also reminds me of Mohur, but vaguely lighter, more iris and tea like. It's just spectacular.

By Kashmir - jeweler from Washington DC on 6/5/2019

Niral is like a violet version of Mohur's rose jam. I don't see violet among the notes, so perhaps it's the iris blended with the wine lees that lends it a violet-liquor succulence reminiscent of good elderflower cordial. The description likens it to silk, and silky it is, but also bright and merry and warm and effervescent, though not aldehydic. It makes me happy the same way Caron Aimez-Moi does: it smells like the moment the sun comes out on a cool, overcast day. The leather grounds it with the same sophistication characteristic of all the NVC scents. A keeper.

Serenity in liquid form. Pure, elegant, sophisticated, refined. Iris, sandalwood, cloudy warmth, fine powder, an enveloping calm aura, much needed these days. A true beauty and a must, for iris lovers and for those who use perfume as mood enhancement. A favorite for me of this line. Exquisite material quality, as ever.

Oooooh. Niral. What an Opulent scent. Smooth and serene, it makes me feel so very special. I love the Iris and Ambrette, this is truly a beauty.

By Tami - Catering from Newton on 4/2/2019

Niral' is a somewhat interesting soft feminine floral creation by Neela Vermiere and Bertrand Duchaufour centered around a central note of iris. The Iris is surrounded by a variety of floral and woody notes with a middle consisting of pepper, tea, rose, green leaves, angelica, ambrette, cardamom, and leather. It finally dries down into a powdery base of magnolia, jasmine, sandalwood, and cedar with the prominent iris note. This is sweet and pleasing but unfortunately not very unique or unisex at all. The scent is blended well and has a pleasing moderate projection/sillage and moderate longevity. Recommended for Neela completists only and not a place to start with this brand as this is one of their weaker offerings.

By Rajesh Balkrishnan - Professor and Perfumer from Charlottesville on 1/22/2019

If you are sensitive to Iso E Super, you may want to avoid Niral. Though Iso E isn't listed as a note, the blast of burning raw alcohol I get from this fragrance tells me that this or something like it is at work here. Beyond the chemical assault I can tell Niral is characteristic of Neela Vermeire creations, and it will probably be beautiful to the lucky folks who don't share my inconvenient sensitivities. If you are sensitive, definitely sample before buying.
