Guests ask where to buy it. Every week.

We swapped one bottle into the amenity shelf as a test and had nine front-desk requests over a single weekend. That has never happened with a house brand in eleven years.

The bergamot holds all the way through

Most gels at this price lose the top note within a minute of hitting warm water. This one carries the bergamot into the amber and finishes on the vetiver. Genuinely well built.
