The wedding perfume guide: Tara Sutaria’s recommendations for Brides-to-Be

The air crackles with anticipation. Amidst the whispers and excitement of friends and family, the rustle of silk and the gleam of intricate embroidery come alive. She adorns herself in her wedding attire, the delicate chime of bangles and the sparkle of jewels adding to the symphony of colour and craftsmanship that speaks of tradition and celebration. Every detail is meticulously chosen, a symphony of textures and colours. But one final touch remains – the fragrance that will become a part of her wedding day, a whispered echo of laughter, stolen glances, and promises under a starlit sky. Just like the perfect wedding dress, the right perfume lingers long after the celebration, a sensory snapshot of the exchange of vows. Choosing a wedding fragrance is a deeply personal decision, allowing brides to express their individuality and create a lasting sensory memory of their special day.

The timeless romance of florals, the modern vibrancy of citrus, or the captivating allure of amber and spice, here are some trending notes that will make your wedding day unforgettable.

1.            Classic Floral: Evoking romance and grace, floral notes are still a mainstay in bridal fragrances. This year, traditional flowers like jasmine, peonies, and roses are popular but with a modern feel.  ITC Engage L'amante Sunkissed Eau De Parfum is the perfect pick for this wedding as the perfume it is long lasting and offers a delightful aroma. It creates a romantic, floral harmony with notes of tiger orchid, jasmine, tuberose and sandalwood making it ideal for the wedding day for the bride.

2.            Vibrant Citrus: Fresh lemon tones are especially lovely for outdoor ceremonies or a day wedding. The bright and energizing qualities of bergamot, lemon, and grapefruit give the scent a vibrant and vivacious vibe. Citrus notes are an excellent option for a modern bride because they can offer a refreshing contrast to the more conventional flower and woody ingredients. ITC Engage’s Verona Perfume offers a citrus and fruity note, creating a refreshing and invigorating scent.

3.            Amber & Spice: Warm amber and delicate spices are going to be popular in 2024 to provide a hint of sensuality and depth. While spices like cardamom or cinnamon add a delicate note of intrigue, amber adds a rich, golden warmth. These notes are ideal for producing a fragrance that clings and makes an impact. ITC Engage’s Amber Hues Perfume for Men which has fruity and ambery notes is fresh modern fougere and is ideal for such special occasions.

 ITC Engage’s brand ambassador Tara Sutaria advises bride-to-be to invest in a long-lasting fragrance. “I believe your choice of fragrance is an extension of your personal style, and your wedding day is the perfect time to choose a scent that makes you feel confident, radiant, and most yourself as you embark on a new and exciting journey with the one you love. It's about creating a sensory memory that's uniquely yours. The ITC Engage Verona offers a timeless scent with a delicate floral and citrusy touch that is most charming and elegant when worn. I highly recommend this perfume to all brides-to-be!”

As you embark on this exciting new chapter, remember that the perfect wedding fragrance is more than just a scent—it's an extension of your love story. Choose a fragrance that speaks to your heart, embodies your unique style, and creates a lasting impression on your special day.

Music by Jatinder Shah, presented by Sai Productions and Speed Records, this profound album, comprising nine evocative tracks, is a poignant reflection of his unwavering love for his roots, his culture, and his beloved motherland.

The film itself made headlines by entering the 79th Academy Awards and earned Gurdas Maan the Best Actor award at the Berlin Asia Pacific Awards. His international acclaim continued in 2009 when he won the Best International Album award for Boot Polishan

The album continues with "Laggiyaan Ne Maujaan (Natiya Kalam)," which captures the joy of celebrations, infusing traditional rhythms with contemporary flair. Gurdas Maan’s storytelling prowess shines in "Panchhi Udd Gaye," a song that speaks to the transient nature of life and the inevitable journey of the soul. In "Dekh Laila (Traditional)," he pays homage to age-old traditions, breathing new life into timeless folklore. "Chitey Chitey Danda'n" is a vibrant, rhythmic track that echoes the vibrant energy of Punjabi folk culture, while "Bidesaa'n Nu" touches the hearts of all who have ever felt the pangs of separation from their homeland. The album culminates in two powerful tracks: "Maa Boli," a heartfelt tribute to the mother tongue, and "Tappe," which celebrates the lively, joyous spirit of Punjabi music, inviting listeners to join in the dance of life.

"Each song in this album carries the essence of our traditions and the stories of our people, woven together with love and respect for the soil that nurtured me.
