House of Amel X House of Kastoor

A unique spin on classic desserts in every hue of red – the Rouge (a take on the famed strawberry chocolate entremet) for its vivid warmth, a box of macarons to inspire a playful smile, a berry box curated as an ode to love, and a combination of Framel and Mille Feuille that tastes like a match made in heaven. Adding another layer of romance to this offering are the scintillating fragrances from the House of Kastoor—Panache (For Her) and Armour (For Him)—which imbue the gift with nostalgic warmth. The Valentine’s edit is available on Zomato, Swiggy and Thrive, with prices ranging from INR 300 to INR 1,400. For more details, contact 7506307607.
