White ginger is terible. During our long stay at GH NYC we initially kept asking for alternative product, housekeeping kept letting "management" handled it, and we would got the quince-bergamot replacements several times. In the end we would bring our own toiletries. Yuck.

I could never quite put my finger on it, but now that you mention it, I believe you have hit the nail on the head with your description. It completely reminds me of Raid. I prefer the Lavendar Citrus as well, but even that gets old. The Eucalyptus isn't too bad, and in fact I could live with all Hyatt's giving that out. The best of the Portico's that I have tried though is the elusive "Quince-Bergamot" scent mentioned in the post above.

Dear Hyatt,
Please get rid of Portico White Ginger. Right Now. If you must keep a line of Portico, I suppose I can handle Quince-Bergamot, Eucalyptus, or even Lavender Citrus. Better yet, just completely get rid of Portico. The stripping shampoo and watery lotion just doesn't cut it for me.
Thank you

Oops...guess I am in the minority but I quite like White Ginger 
The other flavours are good too! I think we could have it worse.

I agree I hate Portico products......I recently got back from the PH beaver creek and they replaced the Allegria Spa products (which I liked) with Portico products......ugh......and this was a PARK HYATT, not a Grand Hyatt........cost cutting????

+1. I like this white ginger flavor a lot, though I think it smells more like plumeria flowers. Actually, I collect quite a few to give away...
