My top 5 Indian perfume recs right now: 1. Calicut by Bombay Perfumery (spicy, woody, complex. It’s a perfume with a lot of character and layers. Very main character energy.) 2. Rose Oud by Secret Alchemist (starts off strong rose and settles into a very ‘grown up’ musky oud with a deep floral heart. It’s day to night, compliment machine.) 3. Umi and Yoru by Okami (ocean and spice, very reasonable, powdery finish on both, probably best sillage of the lot.) 4. Santal Safran by Maison De Fouzdar (this is STRONG, will last 18 hours if you layer right, very very sexy- sandalwood, saffron, musk. This is not for the faint of heart. Only get this if you want attention.) 5. Sambac Noix by Raahi (probably the most ‘delicate’ of the lot- I like very evocative scents!- raat ki rani with a vanilla heart. Very creamy, very sweet, I usually wear this for coffee/brunch. It’s playful, flirty, soft.) Enjoy!

Check out these perfumes made in India. They are inspired by Japanese minimalist philosophy and are truly exceptional in my view. They offer great value for money too. My favourite is Yoru, which is now priced at INR 1,999. okami.life/ instagram.com/okami.lifestyl…

This Indian perfume brand is just…wow. They have just 4 scents and if you like crisp ocean scents, blindly buy Umi. First whiff of clean sea, amber wood heart, soft powdery finish. Enjoyed so much.

In Vienna, I had the opportunity to meet Professor Birgit Kellner, Dr. Martin Gaenszle, Dr. Karin Preisendanz and Dr. Borayin Larios. These are well-respected academics and researchers who have devoted great effort towards studying aspects of Indian history and culture. It was wonderful to hear their extensive insights. I commend them for their role in popularising Indian culture all over the world.

With 61% of the planet in debt and facing low productivity and failing infrastructure, the @G7 nations can potentially be rescued through infrastructure improvements. However, a challenge remains as many young people are poorly skilled in implementing these fixes. @BlackRock

Sabyasachi Saha, Associate Professor at @RIS_NewDelhi, spoke at a session titled "Escaping the Red List: Human Next?" .@sabya_saha: Indian traditional systems of medicine, particularly #Ayurveda, have articulated principles about Nature as a source of our #health & wellness centuries ago. The practices have evolved accordingly, with a holistic and integrated view of health.
