Recently, I […]

Himalaya For Moms Soothing Body Butter review

When Himalaya had launched their FOR MOMS range, one of the products in that range was the Soothing Body Butter. My first impressions of this body butter were that it was nice, but nothing special. However, after using it regularly over several months – not just for myself, but even for my boys, and having […]

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 ✨
