Health obsessed, product junkie, cosmetic hoarder, beauty expert: As the former-Beauty Director of leading women’s magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and Women's Health in India, I’ve been all these things at once. And even after writing on health and beauty for over 15 years, my appetite for delicious skincare and sumptuous makeup hasn’t dimmed...

So the other day I attended what I thought was the most innovative fragrance launch. It was for the new @jomalonelondon Jasmine Sambac & Marigold Cologne Intense. We went to a flower mandi at six in the morning to get an express education on freshly plucked jasmine sambac (mogra), and various types of marigolds. This was followed by breakfast and a sort of craft workshop where we decorated our own cologne boxes. I’m honestly a bit bored with overly polished wine and cheese launches, and this was absolutely refreshing for me. I mean flower market ✅ breakfast ✅ crafts ✅ hell yeah!! A huge risk for the brand but one that paid off, at least for me. - - - - - - - - #vbeauty #loouxeliveclean #cologneintense #jmlxindia #flowermarket #marigold #jasmine #fragrance #perfume #scent #fragrancelaunch
Beautiful collection designed by an amazing woman, #macxpadma is perfect for Indian skin tones. My favourites? ALL the lipsticks and the Powder/Blush Duo in Moon & Shine. Shall I do a video tutorial with all the tips I gleaned from @padmalakshmi? - - - - - - - - #vbeauty #lookluxeliveclean #newmakeup #lipstick #eyeshadowpalette #eyepencils #bronzer #blush #love #nofilter
This is Jo Malone’s Jasmin Sambac and Marigold Cologne Intense. It’s inspired by India and available around the world. At first whiff, it’s highly unusual, very soft and powdery. Eventually the vanilla in the base also comes out to make it quite a rounded creamy fragrance. It’s not a typical jasmine fragrance at all, it’s very modern and clean. I have never experienced a marigold perfume before so this experience is quite extraordinary. Full review next week. This is in stores now. - - - - - - - - #vbeauty #lookluxeliveclean #jmlxindia #cologneintense #perfume #fragrance #floral #indianflowers #jasmine #marigold
