Cinematic fantasy – ‘Ken Fulk: The Movie In My Mind’ by Ken Fulk
Dear readers, did anyone of you watch the new movie ‘Elvis’ which released recently? If you did, then I am glad to know if you like that movie or not; the truth is I didn’t watch it, given the recent loosening of the social distancing due to the pandemic, the cinema of my city finally opened their doors for movie patrons, and the showing period of new movies somehow becomes shorter as most of the cinemas tried to make up the shortfall from their closing period; long story sh

Speaking of fragrance, since I couldn’t atte

Understated luxury - Blaise Mautin Parfumeur, Paris
Dear readers, have you ever experience using a certain scent to record a wonderful memory about a place that you have visited? When fashion designer and taste-maker, Marie France van Damme, passed by Park Hyatt Hotel Paris a while back, she was instantly captivated by the scent that lingers in there, and was wondering if that ‘fragrance’ is available for sale, only back then that ‘fragrance’ is not for sale but somehow she got to know the gentleman behind, who created this e
