Scents used for toieltries in rooms
Does anyone know if the Amans are standardizing the in room toiletries across all locations? They used to be unique but now I am pretty sure they are all conforming to a watered down La Bottega version of their Essentials line. Supposedly the New York toiletries are influenced by the 'Purifying' line, and wondering if all locations are using that same scent which i suspect they might be after visiting a few locations in the past year. None of the hotels have been able to really tell me exactly the scent being used...

For many years, Aman sourced from The Lemongrass House, which are beautiful, artisanal products handmade in Phuket. Various SE Asian properties used them. But they are high quality and cost accordingly, even under the deal they got.
Other properties equally used locally made and high end products.

That, sadly, happened a while ago… when La Bottega posted “great things coming” after a meeting with Aman. Great for La Bottega, yes…

I've stayed at 23 Amans and I still can't quite believe that I cancelled my reservation at what would have been the 24th (New York) following the terrible reports here and the ridiculous prices. (Still doing Amankora next year htough :-)

Give your hard earned money to the few remaining original Aman Amans out there.

It's not Aman-lite or budget at all. I would daresay it could command similar rates to its older sibling. Seems like what a Rosewood Tokyo would be. High end finishes and top tier design.

The pricing is not that far off from Aman Tokyo - not sure how this is going to work.

Think the shareholders have lost it .. Dubai ? Somewhat self serving and .. face , what vision ?
Why was AMAN for true AMANJunkies ignored ? Extremely sad state of affairs and hiring of “ bean counters “ mentality types to HQ ( those with no AMANs experience , do not even bring up AMAN DNA ) to boot ..
Soulless
Suppose they assume the “ influencer “ , nouveau and such types will support the dynamic and outrageous rates , rather than their loyal guests who prefer discretion
Pray the few who understand stay on to hold the fort while hopefully the “ few screw loose “ become fastened in place .. dire
