Tadoba Jungle Camp – A Great Wildlife Resort for Families

Tadoba Jungle Camp review

Having lived in an urban, concrete jungle all my life, I am absolutely fascinated with the real jungle – one filled with plenty of flora and fauna – and hence, I try to take safari holidays at least once a year. This year, our destination was the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve and we had a […]

Celebrating #SkinAwarenessMonth with Galderma

Posted on 12/08/202223/08/2022by Dollie

While I have always loved makeup, my biggest beauty passion has always been skincare. This passion was fuelled when, as a teen, I used to read French Elle and Vogue which had detailed articles on how to identify your skin type and the right products to use for it.  This was in the 90s, before […]

Dermafique Bio-Cellulose Face Masque

Winter time is when I love to pamper my skin with masks; the heat and humidity of summers and monsoons are perfect for clay masks but the dry, cool weather of winters makes me bring out my Bio cellulose masks for my twice a week pampering session and some intense burst of hydration. Recently, I […]

From wish list to collection; the first fragrance From wish list to collection; the first fragrance of 2026 is luminous, intoxicating & addictive - just how I hope the year is for me. ✨

Gold Immortals Extrait de Parfum from @exnihiloparis is a fragrance I became obsessed with after using the travel size of the EDP (this one is the Extrait). So happy to add this beauty to my fragrance collection. 

A gorgeous creation by @jordi_perfumer, it is a beautifully blended, silky creation that’s juicy, floral and amber. Perfect for the cooler months or date nights, it is very intoxicating. The longevity also makes it a great choice for brides & grooms or even for wedding guests. 

The EDP is a bit juicier and more luminous while the Extrait is denser and more ambery but both are absolutely stunning! 

Top notes: Bergamot and Pear
Middle notes: Peony and Lysylang
Base notes: Amber, Tonka Bean and Vanilla.

Try it out at @mdpindofficial ✨

A lush, velvety floral with a subtle sweetness that isn’t  loud; just confident & composed, and while it’s unisex, it makes me feel beautifully feminine. 

This is a fragrance for days when you want to feel graceful, radiant, and well, just “you”.
