Can you talk us through your career? I was an entrepreneur from a very young age, founding Villa Moda – one of the region’s most iconic department stores while I was in my twenties, bringing high-end fashion brands to the region including Prada, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta and many more. Then I went on to create The Fragrance Kitchen. What inspired you to start your own fragrance brand? I learned about the art of blending from my grandmother when I was a teenager. Once I had the talent, I collaborated with Tom Ford, creating the Arabian Wood blend for his collection. After the success of Arabian Wood, I decided to start my own business – The Fragrance Kitchen (TFK). This is the first fragrance innovation that I have spearheaded.
