A breathtaking Valentine's Day mid-air proposal thousands of feet above the ground is taking Dubai by storm.
The stunning video posted on February 14 by globally renowned beauty brand Enchanteur on their official Instagram handle has gone viral, amassing close to 6 million views within hours and sparking a city-wide conversation about love, romance, and grand gestures.
The now-viral clip captures an awe-inspiring moment at 12,000 feet, where a man, completely mesmerised, seals his love with a proposal – and a kiss – high above the clouds. Set against the backdrop of Dubai's stunning skyline, this unforgettable declaration of love embodies the essence of the brand, according to the creators of the video.
Created in association with Skydive Dubai, several moments from the video are being praised for their novelty and uniqueness, like when the man showers rose petals on his love, in the middle of the air.
'For Enchanteur, we believe romance should be nothing short of magical—just like this breathtaking proposal high above Dubai,' said Priyadarshee Panigrahi, Senior General Manager of Wipro Yardley FZE, the marketers of Enchanteur brand. 'As stated by its promise – The Fragrance of French Romance, our brand is built on the timeless allure of French-inspired floral fragrances that captivate the senses and create unforgettable moments. This proposal perfectly mirrors the essence of Enchanteur—where love isn't just felt, it's experienced. Just as our fragrances leave an irresistible impression, so does the power of grand, heartfelt gestures. Such a gesture against the breathtaking backdrop of Dubai's famed skyline and involving such a novel and adventurous activity like skydiving, is indeed memorable and mesmerising'.
Dubai Can't Stop Talking About It!
From social media users to influencers and media outlets, everyone is swooning over this real-life fairytale. Comments and shares have flooded the internet, with people calling it 'the most romantic proposal ever' and 'a love story straight out of a movie.'
'Romantic, charming, alluring, enticing, gorgeous, elegant,' commented social media user KM Waleedh (naming the various fragrances in which this popular brand is available) while another netizen quipped the video reminded her of the Normandy landings. However, not everyone is going gaga over the video with most questioning the motive behind the video. 'Whatever happened to a simple question [of] will you marry me on plain land with no threat to life (sic),' wrote another social media user Noorsab. Yet the video's widespread appeal is a testament to the power of love, fragrance, and the magic of an unforgettable moment, said Nazneen Shabir, Marketing Controller of Wipro Yardley FZE
French Romance, Reimagined
With French-inspired floral fragrances at the heart of its identity, the brand celebrates love in its purest, most enchanting form. 'Just as fragrance has the power to captivate, this proposal has captivated millions, proving once again that romance is timeless,' added Shabir

Bollywood star Deepika Padukone talks about how badminton shaped her life

As her Padukone School of Badminton aims to 75 Centres in a year, actress Deepika Padukone talked about how the sport has shaped her life as she grew up playing the sport. Deepika took to Instagram, where she shared a picture posing with her father Prakash Padukone, a former star badminton player. She wrote: 'As someone who grew up playing badminton, I've experienced firsthand how much this sport can shape one's life — physically, mentally, and emotionally.' The star also shared a note about how the Padukone School of Badminton expands to 75 centres in a year. She added: 'Through Padukone School of Badminton(PSB), we hope to bring the joy and discipline of Badminton to people from all walks of life, and build a generation that is healthier, more focused, and inspired by sport.' The press note read: 'The Padukone School of Badminton (PSB), founded and funded by Deepika Padukone and mentored by former World No. 1 and All England Champion Prakash Padukone, has achieved a significant milestone by establishing over 75 grassroots coaching centres across 18 Indian cities-including Bengaluru, NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Jaipur, Pune, Nashik, Mysuru, Panipat, Dehradun, Udaipur, Coimbatore, Sangli, and Surat-within its first year of operations.' With its mission of 'Badminton for All,' PSB now aims to scale to 100 centres by the end of this year and 250 within the next three years, the note added. The note further stated that the academy's vision is to democratize access to quality and affordable badminton coaching, providing opportunities for people of all ages and skill levels. 'Through its standardized, scalable coaching methodology, developed under the guidance of Prakash Padukone, the organization seeks to introduce a nationwide community of school children and working professionals to the sport. It also aims to empower aspiring coaches with certified training and sustainable career paths.' Meanwhile, the makers of Telugu star Allu Arjun's upcoming film with director Atlee, being tentatively referred to as AA22 X A6, on Saturday welcomed Deepika onboard the film's unit. The production house shared a video of Atlee meeting Deepika Padukone and narrating the script to her. The clip also gives a glimpse of Deepika Padukone's motion capture portions in the film. The visuals give the impression that Deepika Padukone plays a queen, who rides a horse and wields a sword in the film. The film, which has already triggered huge expectations as it is believed that it will be like no other film that has ever been done before, will have world class experts working on it. Well known VFX supervisor James Madigan, who is known for having worked in films like 'Iron Man 2' and 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,' had said, 'I just got done reading the script and I got to say, my head is still spinning.'

The ultimate guide for the best iced coffee spots in Dubai for your morning caffeine run

Life by Team Emirates Woman 27 seconds ago 'This is a jumbo-coffee morning. I need coffee in an IV.' — Lorelai Gilmore This quote resonates with people who work 9-5 on most mornings. How else is one supposed to get through the eight hours of a work day? With a morning shot of caffeine, that's how. With the UAE weather making it almost impossible to enjoy a hot cappucino or americano in the AM, it's iced-coffee-to-the-rescue season. Plus, it almost feels like a treat you're buying for yourself as a reward for adulting in this prickly heat. When it comes to iced coffees, not every place can make the cut. It has to be the perfect decoction of the espresso shot, milk of choice, ice and flavouring — no element can overpower the other. Coffee lovers will agree. After trying and testing a couple of popular joints in Dubai, we've curated a list of the best iced coffee spots that you can pit stop at before head to work. Some elements we looked at while curating this list was checking the quality of the espresso used, the ice to coffee ratio, the value for price, and of course, how cute does the delivery cup look.
