    Beauty is going through a phase of ‘more is more’. We are back to excess, and I love it. Big hair energy is everywhere; gloss is reigning supreme, and extra AF manicures are dominating our feeds. But one that’s slowly climbing up the ladder is extrait de parfum.


    All of us know about eau de toilette and eau de parfum but extrait perfumes are ‘intense’ and more powerful. Also, it’s more bang for your buck. We are so glad that the more-is-more mentality is making its way through fragrance because one spends a lot on clothes and accessories. We think it's the same with perfumes.


    The more concentrated the scent, the stronger the projection, AKA sillage, will be... It will linger on further as the price rises. And don’t we all want to leave a trail behind with a scent that is our signature?


    But how are extrait perfumes different from the ones already present in your collection? We explain to you below.


    Extrait De Parfums vs Eau de Parfums And Eau de Toilette

    For most folks, their collection is filled with Eau de parfums (aka EDPs). EDPs contain 15-20 percent fragrance oil, making it a versatile pick which has a decent, long-lasting power. While eau de toilette (aka EDT), on the other hand, contains around 10 percent fragrance oil, making it a lighter. But an extrait contains 20- 40 percent pure fragrance oils, making it potent. A spritz or two is enough (literally!).


    Since these have massive sillage—be ready for a shower of compliments every time you wear these extrait perfumes we recommend below.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
    THE NEW BRIDE.
