Fluffy, golden, and a whole lot addictive ✨ Bijou Fluffy, golden, and a whole lot addictive ✨

Bijou Zafran - from @ormondejayne’s Four Corners of the Earth Collection - is that rare saffron scent that feels light as air yet wraps you in a creamy, warm hug. 

Juicy pear sparkles at the start, melting into soft spices and velvety leather before settling into a smooth, musky vanilla trail that lingers like a second skin.

There is just a whisper of sweetness in this beautifully blended creation that is glamorous yet playfully sensual. And totally mesmerising. As it says on their website, it’s “A spell in a bottle.”

Top notes: Pear and Saffron
Middle  notes:  Benzoin, Iris and Cypriol
Base notes:  Musk, Mineral notes, Vanilla Bean, Patchouli, Leather and Amber.

The entire country is battling a heatwave and here The entire country is battling a heatwave and here are some tips to help you survive it 🌞🍉🕶️

🧉Hydrate, but make it count. Think beyond water - nariyal pani, chaas, shikanji - electrolyte-rich drinks that actually replenish what the heat takes away. Also consume more water rich foods like cucumber and watermelon and avoid heavy, greasy foods. 

🧴SPF is non-negotiable. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen, (and don’t forget your arms, neck & every exposed bit), and re-apply during the day. Sunscreen mists make reapplication easy and mess-free so carry that in your bag.

👚 Breathe easy in cottons & linens - your skin will thank you. Synthetic fabrics usually trap the moisture and are a breeding ground for bacteria that causes rash and other skin issues. Also, avoid very fitted clothes and opt for slightly loose, flowy silhouettes. 

🕶️ Shield yourself physically - a cap + sunglasses aren’t just chic, they’re essential. Or arm yourself with an umbrella with UV coating.

🏡 Finally, if you can, stay out of the sun between 12–4; the time when the sun’s rays are the harshest and temperature is at its peak. Try and schedule stuff / run errands before or after this time slot. 

Heatwave survival = protection + hydration & a little bit of style ✨

Yesterday was World Book Day, and those of you who Yesterday was World Book Day, and those of you who know me, know that I’ve been a total bookworm since childhood. 

Once a month, my parents would take my brother and me to Strand bookstore, a stone’s throw from my parents’ home, and where we would browse and select  the books we wanted, always trying to get one extra book added to our allowed limit. 

Of course, I now read on my Kindle because it is so convenient - hundreds of books in one compact device, I can read late into the night without disturbing my husband, and, now that I have reading glasses, increase the font size so that I don’t strain my eyes. 

But the one thing that’s constant is my love for reading. And I love to re-read my favourites (which is why I’ve always preferred to buy books rather than borrow from the library) - currently re-reading the Harry Potter series for the nth time. 

Drop a 🙋🏻‍♀️ in the comments if you love to read too or tag a bookworm you know 📚

An afternoon of scents & stories as @maisoncrivell An afternoon of scents & stories as @maisoncrivelli arrives at @galerieslafayetteindia . 

From the multifaceted intensity of Cuir Infrarouge to the creamy seduction of Safran Secret, the soft luminous trail of Musc Nurasana to the iconic flamboyance of bestseller Hibiscus Mahajad,  the afternoon was a sensory journey decoding the artistry and the notes with an immersive masterclass by @antoine_chicot. 

Needless to say, my fragrance wishlist has grown even longer….

@grittifragrances has officially arrived in India, @grittifragrances has officially arrived in India, and this is your sign to indulge in Italian olfactory artistry 🇮🇹✨

It was such a pleasure to meet @l.gritti , the creator of these marvellous fragrances! 

Decadent, distinctive, and dripping in personality - bottled in incredibly beautiful flacons with some caps inspired by Italian marble - these are the four that stole my heart:

🍒Duchessa - warm, spicy, and utterly sensuous with a luscious cherry-almond twist.
🍊 Pomelo Assoluto - aromatic, aquatic, and sparkling fresh with juicy pomelo & grapefruit (perfect for summer!)
🌸 Tutù - sweet, floral, and delicately feminine with cassis and jasmine at its core.
🍓 Chantilly - fruity, creamy, and playfully addictive with strawberry and vanilla.

Each one feels like a different mood, a different muse… and I just know that I need them all in my collection! 

Available in India exclusively at @scentidoindia 💫
