One of our favourite perfume brands, OJAR, has just opened its first flagship store in Dubai. The Omani brand has launched its first-ever concept store in Perfumery & Co, The Dubai Mall. Capturing the essence of the brand perfectly, the OJAR’s flagship store in Dubai embodies a fusion between the East and the West.
A new seasonal menu
Bringing Parisian haute cuisine to the table is Bagatelle’s new menu. Curated by head chef Ricardo Goncalves, this luxurious hotspot boasts France’s rich culinary history with a modern take on these new dishes. By emulating an intangible cultural heritage to each dish, the unmistakable French flair is seen in a new light. Starting with the most popular dishes, the Tuna Tartare is served with a refreshing contemporary take with avocado puree, cucumber and orange dressing with La Tomate-a beef tomato stuffed with homemade fresh ricotta, heirloom cherry tomatoes, black olive granola, tomato consommé and basil vinaigrette.
