Bahrain This Month - February 2016

Scent of a Woman A fragrance is not just a whiff of the divine; it is evocative of a time and a place. A woman’s fragrance speaks of her, so choose wisely. The master perfumers at Bottega Veneta have captured the very essence of a woman in their signature blends. If you like a floral scent, go for the Red Roses collection from Jo Malone London, a bold blend inspired by seven of the world’s most exquisite roses. Accessories There is no dearth of the variety of accessories that you can give a lady. From bags, purses and belts to chic baubles; she’ll love them all. Carolina Herrara at Bahrain City Centre has some swoon-worthy scarlet-hued accessories to underline your love for your lady. If in doubt, a Michael Kors bag will never fail to earn you bonus brownie points. Sweet Somethings Every girl, no matter what age, loves chocolate. Woo her with customised creations from Maya Delices. The finest cocoa beans make for rich chocolate creations with elegant designs. With these decadent treats, you’ll hit all the right notes. Take Her Out Whisk her away for a staycation at any of the island’s great hotels, where she can indulge in spa treatments, or stroll the pristine beach; fingers entwined with yours, of course. The Al Areen Palace and Spa’s pool villas are private havens of Arabian decadence. Alternatively, the Domain Bahrain Hotel offers panoramic views of the skyline as you wine and dine, or get a couple’s massage. Psst… they claim to have the best view of the sunset. DIY Time Nothing that you buy off the shelves will make her go, “awww” like something that you have put together yourself. A compilation of her favourite songs or a CD playing her favourite band will make her smile every time she listens to it. Comfort Zone If your gal is the practical kind, skip the enormous bouquet of roses and get her a giant hamper of lotions and potions that smell and feel heavenly. The all-natural products from The Body Shop are an absolute treat to the senses; they’ll leave her feeling like a million bucks. February 2016 83 www.bahrainthismonth.com
