Joelle Lifestyle - The World at Home

Indian perfumes or attars, as they are called, have a small but committed clientele. At a marvelous 1868 old-fashioned fragrance shop in Old Delhi, Krishna Mohan Singh describes the centuries-old art of blended scents that goes into their making, and the available varieties.

My body aches, I am a wreck and still terribly jet lagged. Moreover, I need a suntan and I honestly could do a break from the city traffic, holy cows, and dust. I decide to have a look at the Oberoi’s recently renovated magnificent Spa.

A few minutes before the arrival of 2009 I was gazing the sky. A dark, cold night in New York City. Based on the Instant Karma principle I gathered from the planets a few simple and immediate suggestions to enliven and enlighten your life in 2009.

Monte Solaro is the highest part of Capri, towering 589 meters above sea level, and boasting a 360° panorama of the island of Capri. In the distance one can identify the mountains of Calabria, the Pennine Alps and the Amalfi coast, the Sorrentine peninsula, the Gulf of Naples, and the islands of Procida and Ischia.

The Naduska spa is just beyond the Giardino della Scultura among the Tuscan landscape of vineyards and olive trees. Only such a spectacular environment could offer the perfect sanctuary for the relaxation I need at this moment. These natural therapeutic products are locally produced using mostly plants and herbs from the Tuscan countryside. A little rejuvenation won’t hurt.

Established in 1200, the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella (located next to Piazza di Santa Maria Novella) is one of the oldest pharmacies in the world. Founded by Dominican friars shortly after 1221, the year of their arrival in Florence, the pharmacy used medicinal herbs grown in the monastic gardens to take medications, balms and pomades fro the monk’s infirmary… Every time I step on that door I get a familiar feeling of ” Deja-vu” from past lives.

Like old souvenir postcards, the latest fragrances get their inspiration from the Italian landscape among Cedars and Magnolias. The landscape of the peninsula is the latest discovery of creative noses. Past the cliched 50’s vintage stereo postcards (with the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius in the background) there is an Italy of hidden corners and unknown gardens.

I am staying in a beautiful rooftop over the sea on the hills of Posillipo .The word comes from the Greek Pausilypon meaning ‘ Pause from pain’ ,it is the city’s oldest neighborhood . I am surrounded by a lively countryside of green trees , stunning views of the Sorrento peninsula and a majestic Mount Vesuvius at eye sight.
