NEDA : BETWEEN MYTHOLOGY AND NATURAL SPRING
Neda is at the same time a river, a waterfall and the goddess of water in Greek mythology.
A river first, commonly called Neda, which takes its source in the heart of the Peloponnese, in the heights of Mount Lykaio. And which flows in the middle of monuments of Ancient Greece like the site of Olympia or the temple of Apollo Epikourios, bordered by a green and luxuriant vegetation. Before finishing its journey by marrying the Ionian Sea by the Golf of Kyparissia, typical of the Mediterranean basin. Of an Olympian calm, this small river turns out to be wild and intractable when it transforms into waterfalls through narrow gorges.
Neda is also a series of powerful and refreshing waterfalls that flow into azure blue pools as beautiful as they are comforting. Peace and quiet in the midst of the crash of water on rock, a little corner of paradise like a trip to the kingdom of the immortals, in a Garden of the Hesperides that one would never want to leave.
To Finish, Neda is the goddess of water in Greek mythology, daughter of Ocean. An Arcadian nymph, she is one of the three nannies designated to raise Zeus in secret in order to protect him from his father Cronos, infamous for feeding on his children.
AN INDOOR MIST WITH A MEDITERRANEAN ACCENT
Our Neda room mist is a little bit of all of this at the same time. A Mediterranean fragrance that delicately tickles our nostrils and tells us the story of the basin, from its olfactory richness, with its citrus fruits, its maquis and its lavender fields, to its mythology, with its goddess of water, in all its states, whether it is slumbering or foaming, lapping or misting. From raw material to perfume, from symbol to emotion.
The perfumer's words
Creative Intentions
High place of spirituality and myths, the course of Neda unites the temples to the waterfalls, for the greatest pleasure of the senses. The nymph who gave her name to this perfume reveals her charms through the infinite vivacity of the Cologne accord. Wandering in a very real Hesperides garden, the water turned into mist nimbles the landscape with its greed.
Olfactory structure
The perfumed mist Bornda is articulated around Mandora essential oil to develop a fresh and invigorating cologne accord. The hesperidic flight is energized by the Eucalyptus thanks to its green and zesty accents, and supported by the aromatic richness of Lavender. The Orange Blossom infuses its solar facet into the whole, helping to keep the Mandora in place and guiding the fragrance towards more greediness. Very quickly, thealcoholate de Tonka Bean nimbles the air with a more balmy and powdery component, but also woody, thus sealing this revisited structure of the cologne.
