Oro Ventro Parfum, a luxury french fragrance brand from Dubai was presenting the fragrance of legacy, love, heritage, and innovation. One-of-a-kind scents that truly encapsulate the essence of elegance giving the wearer their own unique mark to express. The brand showcased their great selection of delectable scents and guests were gifted a full-size perfume bottle of their chosen scent. The other title sponsor was Burj Bites, a luxury chocolate brand from Dubai whose claim to fame is the infamous "Dubai's Viral chocolate bar"-a Kunafa-filled chocolate bar, which are all the rage. Burj Bites redefines indulgence by blending centuries-old Middle Eastern flavors with the modern sophistication of gourmet chocolate. Guests got to take home several flavors of this great chocolate.

For something more soulful, the lounge introduced the Siddhayatan Spiritual Retreat Center, a spiritual ashram near Dallas, Texas. The spiritual retreat is a hub for spirituality and a sanction for truth teaching meditation and other Indian spiritual tools. They invited guests to the red-carpet screening of their 'BALANCE' Docuseries early next year, aimed at shedding light on peri-menopause and how to truly regain balance over your lives.
