Have you ever caught a whiff of something familiar—maybe fresh jasmine or warm vanilla—and been instantly transported to a memory or emotion? That’s the magic of fragrance. It doesn’t just sit on your skin; it lingers in your spirit, stirs your feelings, and tells your story. In fact, perfume is one of the most intimate and personal expressions of who we are—and Neela Vermeire’s Eshal is a beautiful example of how scent can truly speak to the soul.
What Makes Fragrance So Emotionally Powerful?
Smell is the most emotionally charged of our senses. It’s directly linked to the limbic system—the part of the brain responsible for memory and emotion. That’s why a single scent can trigger nostalgia, comfort, joy, or even heartbreak. Unlike visuals or sounds that require interpretation, smell hits you right in the heart.
Eshal, with its lush composition of red mandarin, tuberose, cinnamon oil, and beeswax absolute, is designed to do exactly that: evoke a feeling, spark a memory, and offer comfort.
Eshal: A Fragrance that Feels Like Home
Created by Neela Vermeire in collaboration with master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, Eshal is more than just a pretty scent—it’s a personal journey. Rooted in Neela’s Indian heritage and childhood memories, it pays tribute to the tropical tuberose flowers she grew up with. It's a scent she describes as “an olfactory embrace”—and that’s exactly what it feels like.
From its juicy citrus opening (hello red mandarin and bitter orange) to its creamy floral heart and rich, comforting base of balsam and labdanum, Eshal is a perfume that wraps around you like a warm memory. It’s uplifting, grounding, and joyfully serene all at once.
Why We Connect with Certain Scents
Everyone’s scent story is different. You might gravitate toward:
Florals if you’re sentimental and romantic
Spices if you’re bold and full of warmth
Citrus notes if you love feeling fresh and energized
Woody or resinous scents if you seek comfort and grounding
Eshal combines several of these elements, making it uniquely versatile and emotionally resonant for a wide range of personalities. It’s especially powerful for those seeking a gentle but radiant daily fragrance—something that feels like “you,” only better.
The Self-Care Power of Perfume
We often talk about skincare and wellness, but fragrance is an unsung hero in self-care. A good perfume can:
Lift your mood
Boost your confidence
Offer emotional support
Add a finishing touch to your day
Spritzing on Eshal can become a ritual—your moment of calm in a busy day, your reminder of joy, or your invisible armor of grace.
Final Thoughts: Fragrance That Feels
In a world that often feels chaotic, perfumes like Eshal offer a quiet escape—a connection to memory, identity, and inner peace. It’s not just about smelling good. It’s about feeling something deeply personal and beautiful.
So next time you pick a perfume, ask yourself: How does it make me feel? If the answer is "seen, soothed, or inspired," then you’ve found your perfect scent companion.
