Tadoba Jungle Camp review

The Fern Gir Forest Resort Review

Posted on 22/03/201823/03/2018by Dollie

Living in an urban, concrete jungle, I love to take short breaks amidst nature whenever I can. With the kids being in school, short trips and holidays have to be aligned with their school calendar so we try to make the most of long weekends and mid-term breaks. During their recent break, I wanted to […]

Skydiving with NZone Queenstown

Each and every city and town that we visited were so incredibly beautiful that it was like paradise.  On my itinerary, I had kept Queenstown as the last destination since it is called the Adventure […]

A wonderful evening with @omanluxury as they launc A wonderful evening with @omanluxury as they launch their latest creation, Hommage 1744 at @scentidoindia .

Hommage 1744 was crafted in tribute to a defining moment in Omani history - the founding of the Al Busaid state on 20 November 1744 AD by Imam
Ahmed bin Said. It is an olfactory salute to royal heritage, reimagined with modern sophistication.

The brand itself is inspired by the authentic heritage of Oman - each of its fragrances captures the spirit and essence of the Omani culture in a bottle.

The shape of the beautiful bottles takes inspiration from the Dishdasha - the long flowing Omani garment. The golden disc at the neck of the bottle is inspired by traditional Omani jewellery while the cap draws inspiration from the Kumma - the traditional Omani turban. 

Truly a wonderful evening meeting @muatasimalhinai and discovering some incredible gems that the brand has to offer. My favourites - Wanderlust, Overdose, Royal Incense, and Oud Aqualeria.

Celebrating the launch of Davidoff Cool Elixir Safran Mineral; an intriguing blend where the warmth of saffron meets the raw freshness of mineral notes. And making the evening even cooler (or should I say hotter) was the effortlessly charming Ahaan Pandey.

With notes of apple, saffron & cedarwood, this one is sure to be a favourite this festive and wedding season .

Inspired by the energy and freedom of contemporary Inspired by the energy and freedom of contemporary dance, @exnihiloparis’s latest creation, Demon Dancer, is fresh, airy and constantly evolving taking you on an olfactive journey. 

It opens with a zesty, citrusy freshness, followed by fruitiness that’s strikes the perfect balance between sweet and tart before settling into a gorgeous woody-musky base that is signature  @jordi_perfumer . Oh, and did I mention that it is totally addictive? I simply couldn’t stop sniffing my wrist. Move over Blue Talisman, I have a new favourite from Ex Nihilo. 

I love that @mdpindofficial brings these beautiful new releases to India at around the same time as they are launched internationally so that we don’t have to wait months for them. 

Top notes - Rhubarb, Bergamot, Peppermint, Blood Orange
Middle notes - Orange Blossom, Black Currant
Base notes - Georgywood, Akigalawood, Ambrofix, Musk, Tonka Bean
