Most nicotine pouches come in cans, which allow users to experience nicotine satisfaction on the go. Another great option is nicotine patches, which have been around for decades as a quitting aid.

  • Solaire Lounge at Downtown Design in Dubai

    I Solaire Lounge returns at Downtown Design in Dubai Solaire Lounge at Downtown Design in Dubai © The Solaire Lounge by Veuve Clicquot tells the story of Cellar in the Sea to honour one of the most fascinating moments in the Maison’s history Veuve Clicquot, the iconic Champagne House, announces the return of its immersive Solaire Lounge at Downtown Design in Dubai, set to open from 8th to 11th November. This year, the lounge unveils a captivating theme inspired by an extraordinary maritime discovery: 47 Veuve Clicquot bottles, recovered from a 19th-century shipwreck in the Baltic Sea. Preserved for nearly two centuries due to the ocean's low temperatures and absence of light, these well-preserved bottles have ignited the Maison’s imagination and set the tone for this year’s lounge concept. In line with Downtown Design’s 2023 focus on harmonising indoor spaces with elements from the great outdoors and appreciating the necessity of our natural surroundings, the Solaire Lounge brings forth a theme rooted in the depths of the sea. The maritime essence is subtly woven throughout the lounge, elegantly balancing earthy natural tones with a marine theme that captures the imagination. The lounge, located inside the Downtown Design fair on the d3 Waterfront Terrace, in Dubai Design District (d3), offers a stunning view of both Dubai Creek and the iconic Burj Khalifa. Drawing inspiration from the relaxed elegance of coastal cities, the outdoor sun terrace boasts the popular summer game ‘pétanque’, inviting visitors to experience the charm of seaside leisure. The Solaire Lounge has been designed in collaboration with C’est Ici Design, a Dubai based interdisciplinary design studio known for its unique philosophy of creating personalized spaces by embracing imperfect beauty and combining unexpected elements. It showcases a seamless fusion of geometric profiles and bold proportions inspired by cliffside villages of the Baltic. Softened with curves, warm lighting, and natural materials, the indoor and outdoor spaces provide an inviting ambiance for all. One Life Kitchen & Café, Dubai’s sophisticated bistro also located in d3, has meticulously curated an elegant pairing menu for guests to relish while enjoying a glass Veuve Clicquot. Indulge in culinary delights such as compressed watermelon and quinoa, burrata, smoked chicken tacos, and beef carpaccio. Additionally, a pop-up oyster bar on the terrace serves fresh oysters from Dibba Bay, providing a taste of the local maritime bounty. Jean-Marc Gallot at Veuve Clicquot, said: "The discovery of these remarkably preserved 19th-century Veuve Clicquot bottles from the Baltic Sea is a testament to the enduring legacy of our Champagne. This extraordinary find has not only fascinated us but also provided the muse for this year’s Solaire Lounge. By blending history, innovation, and the natural world, we aim to transport our guests into the depths of the ocean and the heart of nature. We invite everyone to join us on this unique journey and experience its magic." Inspired by an extraordinary maritime discovery blended by history, innovation, and the natural world, Veuve Clicquot invites everyone to enjoy this unique journey. Solaire Lounge – Cellar in the Sea by Veuve Clicquot is open to the public on Thursday, 9th November from 12pm to 8pm, Friday 10th November from 12pm to 8pm and Saturday, 11th November from 12pm to 6pm.

His Excellency also toured the exhibition, meeting with major exhibitors and visiting the various pavilions, and also spent some time exploring the latest designs in the watch and jewellery manufacturing industry. This year’s installment of JWS has attracted over 200 leading brands from more than 20 countries – including Poland, Lebanon, Hong Kong, and Italy – and is expected to see approximately 7,000 jewellery enthusiasts pass through its doors by 5 November. The annual exhibition provides a platform through which local, regional, and international brands in the jewellery sector can come together to showcase their latest designs, exchange new ideas, and explore ongoing market trends around the world. By bringing the best of global jewellery design to consumers in the UAE, JWS continues to pioneer new approaches to craftsmanship, with unique initiatives – like the annual Ebda’a Awards – that empower young and emerging talent from the region. With yellow metals, gold works, rare diamonds, and precious stones on display, JWS serves as the launch pad for exclusive collections, fusing Emirati heritage with contemporary design to create inspired jewellery and watch pieces. The 30th edition announced a series of exclusive, weekend-long discounts from reduced prices to virtual try-on experiences for jewelry enthusiasts to enjoy.

Our foremost commitment is to promote sustainable luxury by utilizing lab-grown diamonds sourced from ethical suppliers, with the goal of supporting an eco-friendly jewellery industry. Additionally, we seek to raise consumer awareness and promote informed decision-making by showcasing the artistic craftsmanship and innovation associated with lab-grown diamonds, establishing them as a premier choice in the realm of luxury jewellery”. “Participation in the Abu Dhabi Jewellery and Watch Show offers a unique opportunity to build enduring relationships with our existing clientele, form new partnerships, and engage with the wider jewellery community. Our mission is to foster lasting connections with jewellery enthusiasts, designers, and industry professionals. We are excited to introduce our exclusive 'Eco-Elegance' collection at the exhibition, which beautifully combines classic and contemporary designs with the finest lab-grown diamonds. From exquisite engagement rings to timeless necklaces and elegant earrings, this collection serves as a testament to our unwavering commitment to sustainable luxury." The industry is experiencing a significant shift towards sustainability, with an increasing emphasis on responsibly sourced materials adhering to ethical and legal practices. We anticipate lab-grown diamonds to play a pivotal role in this transformation, offering a sustainable alternative to mined diamonds. Consumers are on the lookout for unique jewelry pieces, which further solidifies the trend of customized designs, enabling individuals to express their style and emotions through one-of-a-kind creations. Technology, including 3D printing and virtual experiences, contributes to enhancing the jewellery shopping experience”.

This collection showcases a stunning design with a Princess cut diamond at its center, inspired by the constellations of the Galaxy. We extend an invitation to all our clients to visit our booth and explore this collection and witness the exquisite craftsmanship infused into these pieces. The jewellery and watch industry proved its resilience during the pandemic, outperforming many other sectors. Homegrown jewelers' personalised touch with clients contributed to this success, even amidst an economic downturn. The industry's fragmentation allows global reach based on shared tastes and thought processes. Success hinges on staying current with trends and prioritizing customer needs, transcending location or scale." Mrs. Nada Qasim Felaifel, Managing Director, PLATA "Plata is renowned for its exquisite custom-made traditional gold and silver-plated handicrafts, tableware, a variety of artisanal pieces, and elegant interior accessories. We take great pride in producing a range of larger items in collaboration with well-known European manufacturers, emphasizing product quality and overall elegance. By participating in this exhibition, we aim to establish international relationships and enhance our brand's visibility. Our products are a fusion of European-built quality with custom-made Arabian design, making them truly unique. We are excited to introduce our new collection and exclusive tea set designs at the exhibition, which are inspired by vintage coins. The demand for jewelry in the Middle East and Asia, deeply rooted in culture and tradition, continues to be strong. Additionally, the luxury watch trend has seen significant growth, especially for limited edition pieces, following the impact of the pandemic." The 2023 edition of JWS Abu Dhabi opens today and runs through 5 November.
