Origen is inspired by the spirit of discovery and scent stories from around the world. Origen's five signature scents invite consumers on a sensory journey of escapism, each one a fragrant gateway to somewhere new. "With Origen, we set out to bottle the thrill of stepping into the unknown," said Stefano Curti, Coty's Chief Brands Officer, Consumer Beauty. "Each scent sparks a sense of adventure — a reminder that there is always more to discover, about the world and yourself. So pack light, breathe deep, and enjoy the escape." From the lush freshness of Amazonian Water Lily to the vibrant glow of Yucatan Midnight Amber, every fragrance conjures a unique destination. Amalfi Love Bloom wraps you in sunlit comfort, Sahara Mystery Oud channels a desert warmth, and Himalayan Jasmine Serenade whispers soft, floral secrets from mountain peaks. Amazonian Water Lily – A breath of rainforest air at dawn. As sunlight filters through the canopy, the river's surface shimmers with petals and mist. Crisp green leaves, airy musk, and the delicate freshness of waterlily meet warm guaiac wood for a scent that feels like quiet renewal. Artwork by Brazilian artist Naíma Almeida. Yucatan Midnight Amber – The sun has set, but the night is just beginning. Music drifts through a courtyard lit by lanterns, and the scent of mandarin and blooming tuberose fills the air. Glowing amber clings to warm skin, echoing the pulse of a never-ending celebration. Illustration by Mexican artist Daniel Barreto. Amalfi Love Bloom – The golden glow of a coastal villa at sunset. Orange blossom hangs in the breeze, soft rose clings to cotton dresses, and laughter mingles with waves below. Vanilla and sandalwood add warmth to a fragrance that feels like love at first sight. Visuals by Italian illustrator Marianna Tomaselli. Sahara Mystery Oud – A stillness falls as the desert shifts from heat to hush. Smoke from a distant fire curls into the twilight sky. Rich oud, saffron, and sweet vanilla blend into a scent that is both ancient and modern – mysterious and magnetic. Painted by Saudi artist Bayan Yasien. Himalayan Jasmine Serenade – High in the mountains, jasmine and marigold sway in the morning breeze. All is calm, save for the quiet rhythm of breath and wind. A soft blend of florals, musk, and patchouli captures the meditative beauty of this hidden place. Designed by Indian textile artist Naina Lamba. Available in both Eau De Parfum and Fragrance Hair and Body Mist, Origen fragrances are crafted to be worn individually or layered, creating a personalized and long-lasting olfactive ritual.

Island Fever: Canggu is officially Bali's most exciting dining destination
Sazón Photo 1 of 2 Sazón's showstopping paella bejewelled with Iberico pork and mushroom sofrito (Photo: Sazón) Photo 2 of 2 A seductive blend of handcrafted timber, volcanic stone, and artisanal ceramics fills the main dining hall (Photo: Sazón) Award-winning chef Andrew Walsh's audacious Spanish fever dream comes to life in Canggu's impossibly hip Batu Bolong strip. Under the stewardship of head chef Javier Vicente, a man who takes paella so seriously that he co-owned London's Paella School, Sazón delivers unflinching authenticity. The space itself, a collaboration with architect Nick Derickx, is a seductive blend of handcrafted timber, volcanic stone, and artisanal ceramics; by day, it filters Bali's relentless sunshine; and by night, it glows like a gastronomic lighthouse attracting the hungry on the island. Feast on fat-stacked Spanish tortillas, luscious scallops in ajoblanco chilled almond soup, 28-day dry-aged Txuleta beef, and the showstopping paella bejewelled with Iberico pork and mushroom sofrito. Beat the heat and wash the grub down with a glass of rosemary-kissed sangria with cranberry, peach, and rosella or sakura-infused white wine sangria with lychee and a splash of tonic. Sazón Address Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong no.93, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Badung Regency, Bali 80361 In case you missed it: Butcher Boy by chef Andrew Walsh opens in Salcedo Village Origen Photo 1 of 2 The extensive Mexican spread at Origen (Photo: Origen) Photo 2 of 2 The transportative interiors of Origen (Photo: Origen) Husband-and-wife restaurateurs Alvaro Rosales Machado and Casandra Escamilla Frutos have crafted a thematic space where traditional Mexican recipes come alive through Balinese ingredients. Thanks to executive chef Alejandro Urbina Andrade, formerly of award-winning restaurant Maison Couturier in Veracruz, Mexico, authenticity comes in the forms of fresh corn tortillas, guacamole prepared à la minute, and six homemade salsas of varying Scoville units. Fresh local seafood, especially prawns and barramundi, make great additions to ceviches and tostadas. The hearty brunch special of chilaquiles, boasting layers of refried beans, onions, salsas and creamy avocados, pairs best with grilled beef. Tacos are obvious headliners: a trio of porky pleasures begins with taco lechon, stuffed with juicy shredded pork and its glorious gelatinous bits; tacos pastor, with thin strips of marinated pork enlivened with sweet pineapple and salsa fresca; and taco chicharron, liberated with crunchy pork belly and guacamole. Boozy cocktails are all based on Origen's extensive agave spirit collection, which is one of the most impressive on the island. And if the night is still young, head up the stunning stone spiral staircase and adjourn to Casa Mezcal, where the party doesn't stop till the wee hours. Origen Address: Jl. Pantai Pererenan No.123, Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80351, Indonesia Longtime Photo 1 of 2 The alluring feature bar in the main dining hall (Photo: Longtime) Photo 2 of 2 Curious burrata by executive chef Tyler Preston (Photo: Longtime) Slick 50s espionage-esque interiors that scream sexy? Check. Chic small plates packed with unapologetic flavour? Check. Longtime is quickly becoming Berawa's hottest date night spot. Helmed by executive chef Tyler Preston, an alumnus of Chin Chin Melbourne and Bang Bang Byron Bay, Longtime attempts to rewrite the rules of modern Asian cuisine. Take the Curious Burrata for instance, where fresh, locally sourced burrata is dressed with a lip-smacking chilli crunch, paired with crispy roti. Or the crowd-pleasing eggroll, which is reworked into a hunky beef rendang stuffed crispy spring roll that tangoes with homemade sambal hijau. Otherwise, the braised short rib, sporting a caramelised crust of sweet fish sauce, does enough to warrant a bowl of rice. At the bar, celebrated bartender Jacob Sweetapple presents forward-thinking Asian- inspired tipples with creations like the green mango-laced martini, miso-kissed grapefruit tequila highball, and lemongrass and basil-infused gimlet.

Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361, Indonesia Ghost Photo 1 of 2 A wood-fire spread with chic cocktails at Ghost (Photo: Ghost) Photo 2 of 2 Owners Tim Stapleforth and Jodi Langford at Ghost (Photo: Ghost) A playfully rebellious dining experience, Ghost juxtaposes the rustic charm of a wood-fired grill with the nostalgic warmth of vinyl records. The brainchild of cerebral chef-owner Tim Stapleforth and hospitality maven Jodi Langford, the couple (in both life and grind) bring alive flame-kissed plates that deconstruct their culinary core memories with surgical precision. Stapleforth recalls his growing-up years in Queensland, New Zealand, with the hand-chopped beef tartare with a potato scallop—a nod to Queensland's chip shops. Other highlights include the tender grilled octopus dancing with spicy nduja and sambal; juicy jerk pork chops rubbed with Indonesian spices and paired with smoked pineapple; and the deliriously witty reinterpretation of Bali's favourite babi guling (pork dish), presented as an amuse bouche crumpet that is rich, textural and zingy. Save space for dessert; the chocolate mousse is a luxed-up version of the Snickers bar. After the meal, get cosy by the vinyl-walled DJ booth, and do yourself a favour by ordering a clarified mezcal negroni to complement the warm groovy tunes. Ghost Kitchen & Record Bar Address: Jl. Pantai Berawa No.99, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361, Indonesia

"World's Tallest" 3D Printed Building Unveiled in Switzerland
Swiss universityETH Zurichhas brought the world's tallest 3D-printed tower to the small town of Mulegns, demonstrating innovative techniques that build load-bearing structures without formwork. Named Tor Alva, the new architectural landmark was created in a partnership between the university and the Origen cultural foundation with the aim of enlivening the historic, yet depopulated town, now home to only 11 residents. ArchitectMichael Hansmeyerand ETH Professor of Digital Building Technologies Benjamin Dillenburger led the design of the building, employing an innovative additive manufacturing process that relies on robot assistance. First, algorithms generate the ornamental and the structural aspects, and then the robots get to work by applying the concrete layer by layer without the need for supportive casting moulds. The innovative load-bearing quality of the design was facilitated by a newly developed reinforcement concept involving the robotic assistants. The final result is a story tower that comprises 32 sculptured white concrete columns, forming a structure that appears at once naturalistic and futuristic. At the top, the columns unfold in a tree-like formation to create the domed space where visitors can witness scenic views. For the next five years, Tor Alva will call Mulegns home, after which it can be dismantled and re-erected elsewhere. Starting this weekend, the tower will be open daily for guided tours, and later in the summer, the space will also host staged performances. See the gallery above for photos of the completed project.
