The now-viral clip captures an awe-inspiring moment at 12,000 feet, where a man, completely mesmerised, seals his love with a proposal – and a kiss – high above the clouds. Set against the backdrop of Dubai’s stunning skyline, this unforgettable declaration of love embodies the essence of the brand, according to the creators of the video.

“For Enchanteur, we believe romance should be nothing short of magical—just like this breathtaking proposal high above Dubai,” said Priyadarshee Panigrahi, Senior General Manager of Wipro Yardley FZE, the marketers of Enchanteur brand. “As stated by its promise :The Fragrance of French Romance, our brand is built on the timeless allure of French-inspired floral fragrances that captivate the senses and create unforgettable moments. This proposal perfectly mirrors the essence of Enchanteur—where love isn’t just felt, it’s experienced. Just as our fragrances leave an irresistible impression, so does the power of grand, heartfelt gestures. Such a gesture against the breathtaking backdrop of Dubai’s famed skyline and involving such a novel & adventurous activity like skydiving, is indeed memorable and mesmerizing’.

From social media users to influencers and media outlets, everyone is swooning over this real-life fairytale. Comments and shares have flooded the internet, with people calling it “the most romantic proposal ever” and “a love story straight out of a movie.”

“Romantic, charming, alluring, enticing, gorgeous, elegant,” commented social media user KM Waleedh (naming the various fragrances in which this popular brand is available) while another netizen made a remark, saying the video reminded her of the Normandy landings. However, not everyone is going gaga over the video with most questioning the motive behind the video. “Whatever happened to a simple question [of] will you marry me on plain land with no threat to life (sic),” wrote another social media user Noorsab.

Yet the video’s widespread appeal is a testament to the power of love, fragrance, and the magic of an unforgettable moment, said Nazneen Shabir, Marketing Controller of Wipro Yardley FZE

With French-inspired floral fragrances at the heart of its identity, the brand celebrates love in its purest, most enchanting form. “Just as fragrance has the power to captivate, this proposal has captivated millions, proving once again that romance is timeless,” added Shabir

Spread the love

The UAE’s flagship carrier launched its new daily service to Hangzhou on  Wednesday, marking yet another milestone in its growing network across China. The move comes hot on the heels of its recent route launch to Shenzhen, making Hangzhou the second new mainland destination in just under a month.

Flight EK310 touched down at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport to a warm welcome – complete with a traditional water cannon salute and greetings from local officials and dignitaries. Passengers on the inaugural flight didn’t leave empty-handed either. They were treated to souvenir keychains, flight certificates, and Chinese tea tasting sets to mark the occasion.

The new route is operated on a Boeing 777-300ER, with flight EK310 departing Dubai at 9:40am and reaching Hangzhou by 10:00pm. The return leg, EK311, takes off from Hangzhou at 12:10am, landing back in Dubai by 4:55am, making it a convenient overnight hop for business and leisure travellers.

With this addition, Emirates now flies 49 times a week to five major Chinese cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and now Hangzhou.

Thanks to seamless connectivity through Dubai, travellers from over 40 European cities, 21 in Africa, and others in the Middle East and South America can now easily access one of China’s key tech and business hubs. The route also enables convenient two-way travel between Hangzhou and global cities like Istanbul, Cairo, Johannesburg, and Barcelona.

Best of all? UAE and GCC nationals can visit China visa-free for up to 30 days, making spontaneous business trips or leisure breaks even easier.

Self.space puts the power of photography in your hands

Forget Snow White’s mirror — this one doesn’t compare, doesn’t critique, and answers only to you. Introducing self.space, a revolutionary sealed-room mirror photography studio that’s as private as your thoughts and as flattering as your best angle.

In a region where modesty and privacy are deeply valued, self.space is reimagining the photoshoot experience. No photographers. No spectators. No pressure. Just you and a smart mirror, inside a sound-insulated, self-directed studio designed for complete comfort and control.

Traditional photoshoots can feel intimidating — unfamiliar surroundings, judgmental eyes, and the pressure to perform. self.space changes that. Walk into a sleek studio, close the door behind you, and watch the privacy light switch on. Now it’s just you — free to pose, express, and capture your image on your terms.

“We found that people reject photos not because they lack beauty or talent — but because tension stays on their faces,” say co-founders Mitia Muravev (Founder & CEO) and Peter Bondarenko (Founder & CPO). “That tension is stronger in the Arab world, where privacy and modesty are part of daily life.” Mitia drives the brand’s vision and partnerships, while Peter leads the tech — from embedded cameras and edge AI to full-stack infrastructure. Together, they’ve created more than a photo studio — they’ve packaged confidence.

How it works:

  1. Walk in – Door closes, privacy light turns on.
  2. Capture – Use the remote to take unlimited shots.
  3. AI Perfects – Instant, natural-looking touch-ups preserve your true look.
  4. Gallery Ready – A secure link to your encrypted gallery is sent to your phone before you leave.

Whether you want professional portraits, personal mementos, or a quiet moment of self-reflection, self.space offers something rare: a private, pressure-free space to simply be yourself — and love what you see.
