No offense, but June Jacobs is definitely a step up from White Ginger. I agree that Peter Thomas Roth is nicer, but HHonors as a loyalty program is a joke compared to Gold Passport. If you status match to Hilton Diamond you will quickly realize that top tier at Hilton doesn't get you very much (especially at domestic properties). Also, who knows what Hyatt will roll out chainwide and to which brands. I think they are putting a lot of thought into this.

However, the shampoo is so overly weak, it can't even wash out my hair gel and hair spray and the conditioner feels very waxy but not moisturizing. It takes some real adjusting because Portico is completely opposite, super drying and overstripping shampoo and water like conditioner that doesn't coat the hair at all.

I've just earned my Diamond for 2012, but I guess I am going to have a status match and leave for Hilton. I happened to stay at a Hilton recently and they had Peter Thomas Roth. That stuff is the BEST!!! Even the older Evelyn Crabtree were much superior than Portico White Ginger. The new Peter Thomas Roth is yet better than Evelyn Crabtree, so it's like in another dimension when compared to the Portico White Ginger.

Hyatt, if you are reading this. Good bath amenity is easy to find with so much competition out there... If you are cheap, just use the entire Pantene and Olay line from P&G. If you want something upscale and works well, try H2O+. In fact, bring back H2O+ !!!!! or else I am leaving for Hilton.
