Neela Vermeire’s Rahele is a captivating fragrance that offers a journey through India by tributing to one of the well-known ingredients from the country: osmanthus, in a collaboration with renowned perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour.
Rahele’s introduction is both sharp and elegant. It unfurls with green mandarin, cardamom, and cinnamon and creates an effect that resembles the chime of an instrument in a silent room—clear, focused, and pure. A moment of full clarity and absolute mindfulness.
There’s a chalky texture, reminiscent of ripe mango, not in scent but in feeling, that brings an intriguing layer to the fragrance's initial impression. With subtle hints of peach and apricot that introduce the creaminess of the osmanthus, the scent evokes the poetic beauty of fleshy fruits, rich yet refined, enticing without being overtly sweet.
Later, the osmanthus takes center stage and adds a duality that is fruity, floral, and slightly spicy. The osmanthus here in the perfume is a complex ingredient that displays an inexpressible sophistication once mingled with the aloofness and delicacy of the iris note.
No matter how many perfumes you have tried, Bertrand Duchaufour’s creations will intrigue you! He’s a master of contrasting notes, and here in the fragrance, he set the fruity top and powdery heart beside a woody and earthy base with cedarwood, sandalwood, oakmoss, and patchouli.
the perfume's luxurious character makes it a versatile choice for both daytime and evening wear. Although its elegance may suggest it for evening occasions, the fragrance’s underlying warmth and subtle fruitiness make it an equally delightful option for daytime events.
The longevity of Rahele is commendable, with an impressive wear time of seven to eight hours. Its sillage is also noteworthy; with a generous application, it extends slightly beyond handshake distance, leaving a gentle yet memorable trail.
