Neith by Neela Vermeire Creations

Neith, the New Incense-Led Perfume from Neela Vermeire Creations

Neith is a fresh 2026 addition to Neela Vermeire Creations, composed by Bertrand Duchaufour. Marketed for both men and women, it is a unisex perfume with a distinct balsamic character, where resinous notes meet rose and spice.

The scent profile centres on myrrh, frankincense, carnation, rose, labdanum, cypriol, black pepper, oud wood and castoreum. The accords are mostly warm, ambered and woody, with a crisp spicy opening and a gentle floral heart.

From the first spray, Neith is noticeably brighter than typical incense perfumes. Black pepper snaps with energy, while cypriol adds an almost earthy, rooty texture. The rose is not jammy but quiet and velvety, supported by a carnation that gives a faint clove-like dryness.

Then the ritual begins: frankincense and myrrh unfurl into a rich, smoky haze. Labdanum injects a golden resinous sweetness, and oud wood lends a leathery backbone without tipping into barnyard territory. A measured dose of castoreum supplies a subtle animal warmth that makes the dry-down feel intimate.

Neith is a slow-burner. It opens aromatic and peppery, moves into a floral-balsamic heart, and ends as a smooth amber-woody skin scent. Performance is commendable: longevity is strong on most skins, with a sillage that is present but never aggressive.

This perfume was designed for contemplation. It doesn't try to be crowd-pleasing; instead, it invites you to appreciate the interplay between sacred resin and earthy animalic notes. For those new to the house, Neith captures the elegance and craft that define Neela Vermeire Creations.

Early reception has been encouraging, with a 4.37 rating out of 5 based on 27 reviews. It's a clear sign that this composition, while niche, has found its audience among discerning perfume lovers.

This will suit anyone who likes unisex perfumes with a spiritual, resinous edge. It's particularly good for colder months, formal events, or quiet evenings when you want your fragrance to tell a story.

Neith is a beautifully judged balance of incense, rose and leathery warmth. Bertrand Duchaufour has created something that feels both ancient and modern. If you love myrrh, frankincense and dark florals, this is well worth trying.
