Emirati mum Zainab Al Mansoori loves perfumes. But instead of purchasing ready-made fragrances, she opted to craft her own scents, and eventually became an entrepreneur. “People inquired about the fragrance I was wearing, and when I shared that I had personally crafted it, they expressed a keen interest in having a similar fragrance for themselves,” said Zainab, owner of Foaat Musk. “That’s when the idea of creating my brand took root,” she added, noting: “Through experimentation, formulation, and playful exploration with concentrates, I brought my vision to life.” Stay up to date with the latest news.

Yonay’s widow Shosh Yonay and son Yuval Yonay, heirs to his copyright, said they deserved some of the sequel’s profits, after Paramount built a billion-dollar franchise off…

The World Trade Organisation said on Wednesday that global trade should rebound this year from an unexpected slump in 2023, but warned that regional conflicts, geopolitical tensions and economic policy uncertainty risked darkening the picture.
