From Neela Vermiere:
"An Olfactory Travelogue.
Rahele (traveler), an ode to exotic travel, an olfactory journey in the company of 17th century French visitors to the East.
It is truly and East meets West composition, centered around Osmanthus - melding the woods and spices of India with herbal and floral essences of classical French perfumery. Like the fabled French blue, Rahele mesmerizes. Its sparkling facets reveal a delightful journey.
Rahele is a travelogue of a fragrance - a journey to a longed-for destination. It is for those filled with curiosity about travel, art, beauty, cultures and a life without borders."

"As a perfume connoisseur, Neela had a keen awareness of the difference good natural raw materials can make. She began her work with Bertrand Duchafour by giving him free rein to use a costly pallet of attars and resins that would do justice to the sensual splendors of the east-west connections. The result? Several formulas rich with natural oudh, rose and jasmine essentials, real sandalwood and other flowers and spices at concentrations that would frankly be considered ridiculous by commercial standards. You will recognize these superior ingredients - from the first spritz to the lengthy dry-down."
Note: Samples are sold by the 1ml. You may purchase up to 2ml. Samples of 1ml or less will come in a glass vial with a dabber. Samples larger than 1ml will come in small glass spray bottles. All samples will be consolidated unless expressly requested otherwise.
