Ombre D'Or and Perle D'Or; ARMAF Perfumes pays ode to Kintsugi with gender neutral fragrances - Middle East Business News and Information
Inspired by finding beauty in the broken, the brand-new range offers unpolished luxury, unraveling a deeper connection with the inner soul and outer being. Offering a still, uplifting, and lasting experience in a fast-paced fragrance world, ARMAF Perfumes, the UAE's leading perfumers, add depth to fragrance wearing with the launch of Ombre D'Or and Perle D'Or. Rewriting olfactory scripts that have primarily focused on developing fragrances to convey confidence and occasion, ARMAF explores the uncharted by weaving in stories steeped in culture, connection, and celebration of being. Deeply rooted in the Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi, the two newly launched perfumes are built around a unique charm that explores different aspects of emotional states, where one is grounded in stillness and introspection, and the other gives meaning to grace and inner bloom. In the fast beauty age, where scents are as fleeting as social media imprints, ARMAF Perfumes has brought the noise to a standstill with unique fragrances that aren't shaped by trends but by moments of emotional clarity. Describing the Kintsugi-inspired journey of curating two distinct and subtly powerful fragrances Hamza Fakhruddin, Managing Director & Board Member of Sterling Perfumes said, 'Using the art of putting together pieces of broken pottery with gold, as a metaphor teaches us to embrace flaws and imperfections with dignity and grace. This range honors the human journey not despite its failures, but because of them. In Kintsugi, the cracks are not hidden; they are illuminated, filled with gold to remind us that damage does not destroy—it defines. These fragrances echo the celebration of the strength it takes to be whole again, and the beauty in choosing to shine not despite the scars, but through them. With Ombre D'Or and Perle D'Or, we have dived deeper into elevated experiences of both storytelling and self-expression.' Having stood at the intersection of luxury and emotional resonance with its diverse perfume range, ARMAF has now built further on its signature accessible elegance. The new range introduces a more contemplative dimension where the perfumes are minimal in noise and maximal in intention. They embody ARMAF's belief that true luxury is not just in what you wear, but in how it makes you feel. In a saturated market, Ombre D'Or and Perle D'Or offer something rare: stillness, depth, and dignity—an evolution of ARMAF's essence, both grounded and ascended. Built around a simple story of elegance, the fragrances celebrate a captivating duality that complete each other. Ombre D'Or is fire stitched in gold —saffron heat, smoked amber, and dark woods. Its top notes are Spicy, Musk, and Lime with base notes of Amber, Incense, & Wood. Perle D'Or, on the other hand, blends soft florals and subtle sweetness over a warm, glowing base—turning every flaw into elegance . Its top notes include Bergamot, Clary Sage & Pink Pepper along with base notes of Vanilla, Crisp Amber, White Musk & Patchouli. Each profile is layered with intention, designed not to impress immediately but to unfold intimately with time. Together, they form a fragrant ritual of restoration, a return to self where beauty is not performed but reclaimed. Promising a journey that will last longer than the last spritz, ARMAF highlights that both fragrances are gender neutral, focusing on character and emotional states. Whether worn by him, her, or them, the fragrance intends to become a mirror—reflecting not identity, but energy. They are for wearers who are thoughtful, introspective, and emotionally fluent, and for the connoisseurs who value emotions over exhibition, entrusting faith in fragrance as a form of self-definition. Acing their olfactive prowess beyond the superficial, ARMAF crafts a silent revolution that bonds one's inner world and outer presence.

Fundamental Hospitality Introduces KIGO, a New Chapter in Immersive Japanese Dining at Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre
Dubai, UAE: Brought to life by Fundamental Hospitality, KIGO is set to take the culinary experience to new heights at Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre. Launching this September, the concept offers counter-style dining built around omakase, a Japanese phrase meaning 'I'll leave it up to you', where guests entrust the chef to craft a bespoke, multi-course journey that evolves with the seasons, alongside a kaiseki set menu, showcasing Japan's most refined style of dining. Guided by the creativity of Chef Izu Ani, Head Chef Akinori 'Aki' Tanigawa and Sushi Head Chef Daihachiro Ebata, KIGO invites Dubai's discerning diners to savour every fleeting moment with purpose. The name KIGO (季語) itself originates from Japanese haiku poetry, encompassing words or phrases that capture the essence of each season, be it cherry blossom-filled springs, firefly summers, ember-lit autumns, or snow-dusted winters. Much like the signifiers of the seasons, each expertly crafted dish at KIGO encourages guests to connect with the natural world and embrace the philosophy of mono no aware – the appreciation of life's impermanence. The experience begins on the terrace, where guests cross a stone path and a minimalist dry garden, leading into the 44-seat dining room designed in the spirit of Wa , or Japanese harmony. Inside, its centre sits a striking sushi counter crafted from rare Aji stone, sourced from a single mountain in Japan's Kagawa prefecture, known for its 40,000-year history and enduring strength. Facing it, a custom artwork by Eiki Kimura draws on the Rimpa style, a cultural aesthetic dating back to the 1580s, symbolising the meeting of permanence and fluidity. Elsewhere, a private room offers a serene setting for bespoke kaiseki or sushi omakase experiences. Just as nature offers each element only for a brief, irreplaceable moment, KIGO's menu is a celebration of seasonality at its peak – never before, never after, only at its most exquisite. Ingredients are selected for their cultural resonance and only when they reach their fullest flavour, prepared with subtlety, purity, and the season's own emotional tone. Seated at the stone counter, witness each dish come to life before your eyes as the chef crafts a personalised omakase in real time or opt for the set kaiseki menu that represents the luxury culture of Japan. Created in perfect harmony with each delicate bite, KIGO's beverage pairings elevate the experience through rare sakes exclusive to the region, including the signature Shigemasu 18 Junmai Daiginjo, produced by a brewery in Fukuoka, the birthplace of Head Chef Akinori Tanigawa. Premium cocktails draw inspiration from seasonal kigo , each served with a poetic micro-story that deepens the sensory journey. Diners can also explore a curated selection of refined Japanese teas before concluding with a traditional ceremonial matcha. Guiding KIGO's seasonal narrative is a team of exceptional culinary talent led by Dubai's celebrated Chef and Chief Research Officer at Fundamental Hospitality, Izu Ani, the creative force behind some of the city's most acclaimed dining destinations. Meanwhile, Head Chef Akinori Tanigawa boasts more than 30 years of classical kaiseki mastery, weaving subtle technique and deep respect for seasonal produce into each multi-course journey. Completing the team, Sushi Head Chef Daihachiro Ebata, who spent five years honing his craft at the Michelin-starred Sushi Wakon at Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto, exemplifies the precision and artistry that define Japanese hospitality. Evgeny Kuzin, Chairman of Fundamental Hospitality, shared, 'As the newest addition to Fundamental Hospitality's portfolio, KIGO allows guests to experience Japanese culinary traditions like never before. The concept speaks to the senses as much as the soul, weaving craftsmanship, emotion, and seasonality in a way that mirrors our focus on creating immersive dining experiences that spotlight the region's culinary innovation. We are thrilled to collaborate with Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre and work alongside Chef Izu Ani, Head Chef Akinori Tanigawa, and Sushi Head Chef Daihachiro Ebata to deliver what promises to be a truly unforgettable experience.' Chef Izu Ani, Chief Research Officer of Fundamental Hospitality, said, 'Japanese culture has long inspired me through its purity and precision. There is a quiet strength in its discipline and a beauty in its restraint that continuously challenges me to evolve as a chef. KIGO is a reflection of this spirit — a concept shaped by intention, seasonality, and deep respect for tradition. To bring this vision to life in collaboration with Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre and our exceptional culinary team is both meaningful and deeply fulfilling.' Leonardo Baiocchi, Regional Vice President and General Manager, Four Seasons Hotels Dubai, added, 'At Four Seasons, we are always in pursuit of culinary excellence that resonates with both global sophistication and local character. The introduction of KIGO at Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and meaningful partnerships. In joining forces with Fundamental Hospitality, Chef Izu, and a team of remarkable Japanese culinary artisans, we are proud to unveil a dining experience that is as refined as it is emotive, one that will no doubt become a new chapter in Dubai's fine dining narrative.' Opening soon at Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre, KIGO is the latest concept by Fundamental Hospitality, offering an elevated expression of seasonal Japanese dining. Celebrating impermanence through elegant design, masterful technique, and a reverence for nature's rhythm, the restaurant invites diners to pause, connect, and savour each season in its purest form. A true haven for gastronomes, KIGO promises an experience that is both deeply rooted in tradition and refreshingly unique.

Horror master Kiyoshi Kurosawa to bring eerie storytelling to his first samurai film
Japanese director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, known as a master of horror films set within the neurotic realism of the modern day, will bring his signature edge-of-your-seat storytelling to a genre he has never tackled before: the samurai movie. 'I do want to do it once, and it looks like it might be really happening, although things are still uncertain. I may finally be able to make my samurai film,' he told The Associated Press, noting he couldn't give much detail just yet. His upcoming samurai film will not have sword-fight scenes or action-packed outdoor shots that characterize the genre, known as 'jidaigeki.' Instead, it will be the same creepy quiet narrative of Kurosawa movies, where the action takes place almost claustrophobically, in this case, in a castle that just happens to be set in the samurai era. That concept alone is enough to pique a movie lover's interest. The horror master was just honored at this year's Japan Cuts film festival in New York. The festival presented him the Cut Above award, international recognition that follows the Silver Lion at the 2020 Venice Film Festival for 'Wife of a Spy,' centered around a troubled married couple during World War II. Kurosawa, who is not related to 'Seven Samurai' and 'Rashomon,' director Akira Kurosawa, said period pieces are difficult to make due to the extraordinary costs of sets, props and costuming. He also made it clear he isn't interested in directing science fiction, but rather pursues realism. However, he readily acknowledged that his films are all made up, in fact, 'a lie.' 'Maybe this is my weakness, or my characteristic; I want to tell my stories in a setting of a very real modern-day society, yet I want to entertain," he said. "And so it's a contradiction that I aim for every time," 'You create a lie, like a horrific character (in a realistic framework),' he said. Kurosawa, who has managed to produce a film a year over his 40-year career, invests a lot of time researching the setting and backdrop of his films, including much reading, to make it as realistic as possible. In his most recent thriller, 'Cloud,' a man who is down on his luck, portrayed by Masaki Suda, makes dubious profits by reselling items he finds online at far higher prices. It starts harmless enough, except, as the plot thickens, the protagonist is confronted by victims out for revenge. Kurosawa is not one to hold back on violence, often gory and extreme but beautifully shot, sometimes almost comical in its bizarreness. 'Cure,' a 1997 film about a police detective investigating a series of gruesome murders, starring Koji Yakusho, uses continuous shots purposely without cuts to bring out the varied emotions, and the coldness of the characters, sometimes changing viscerally within the same scene, to explore madness. Despite his insistence on realism, Kurosawa, who counts Alfred Hitchcock among his influences, doesn't rule out the addition of tiny unreal elements for that perfectly subtle and eerie effect. But his movies are never happy-go-lucky, he said. 'Everything being happy is not possible if you start with the realism of modern-day Japan,' said Kurosawa. Kurosawa believes that while filmmaking is usually a giant confusing project where multiple players must work together, producers worrying about the box office and actors concerned about their roles, it is ultimately about dealing with what feels right to your deepest self. 'In the end, it all boils down to: I understand there are many opinions, but we must choose what is right. What does being right mean? To figure that out is the creator's job,' he said.
