Crafted by perfumer Daphné Bugey, this fragrance and hand and body wash are the result of an exclusive collaboration between Portuguese beauty brand Claus Porto and Monocle, with packaging designed by our in-house art team. The Soleil Zeste scent features notes of bergamot, lemon and lime, alongside green aromas of galbanum and petitgrain, and a refreshing base of white musk, cypress and lavender. Plus, the perfume bottles are made by Vista Alegre, an Aveiro-based heritage manufacturer of porcelain and crystal.
Escape from the hustle and high-rises of Abu Dhabi city and indulge your Bedouin escapist fantasies with a night under the stars at Amar Luxury Desert Lodge. The boutique offering from the Magic Travels group is an intimate, off-grid retreat powered entirely by solar energy.
A stay here begins with a cinematic jeep ride through the dunes and often ends around the firepit, under the moon that gave the lodge its Arabic name. It is just one of 101 unforgettable experiences highlighted in Destination Abu Dhabi, Monocle’s new guide to the Emirate.
