Mandarin Oriental announces its collaboration with Amouage, unveiling Whispers Of The Fan – a bespoke amenity collection created exclusively for Mandarin Oriental worldwide. A meeting of two houses united by craftsmanship, cultural heritage and innovation, the collection is a refined expression of Mandarin Oriental’s ethos and of its iconic symbol, the fan.
When Mandarin Oriental sought to create a distinctive scent for its guest amenities, it turned to Amouage, the Omani High Perfumery House renowned for its artistry and dedication to crafting immersive fragrance experiences. Acclaimed for its singularly artistic approach to perfumery and creative craftsmanship, Amouage proved a natural partner for Mandarin Oriental in composing a scent that reflects the brand’s heritage and contemporary global presence.
The story of Mandarin Oriental begins with two iconic properties: Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, which opened in 1963, and Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok, whose origins date back to 1876. United under one name in 1985, these founding hotels established a standard of understated elegance and legendary service that continues to define the brand today. Both properties are currently undergoing significant enhancements, with Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok recently unveiled following an extensive restoration of its historic Authors’ and Garden Wing, and Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong now entering a new chapter of renewal, ensuring that by year’s end these legendary addresses will shine brighter than ever.
To honour this dual heritage, Amouage’s Chief Creative Officer Renaud Salmon, together with perfumer Suzy Le Helley, immersed themselves in Hong Kong and Bangkok, drawing inspiration from the rhythm, contrasts and cultural richness of both cities. Their creative compass became Mandarin Oriental’s eleven-bladed fan, an emblem recognised globally as a mark of exceptional hospitality. From this symbol emerged the concept of eleven distinct notes, each representing a blade of the fan, brought together in a composition that is subtle yet lasting.
The fragrance blends lemongrass, mandarin, coconut, ginger, lotus flower, jasmine, rice, tea, bamboo, incense and silk. Inspired by the sensory landscapes of Hong Kong and Bangkok, with a subtle connection to Amouage’s Omani roots, each note is clearly defined yet seamlessly harmonised. The result mirrors Mandarin Oriental’s service philosophy: intuitive, gracious and ever-present, leaving a lasting impression without seeking attention.
Whispers Of The Fan is expressed across six bespoke amenities: shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand wash, hand and body lotion and a soap shaped in the Amouage royal emblem. Each formulation has been meticulously crafted to deliver exceptional performance while remaining gentle and non-irritating. The products are vegan, cruelty-free and composed of 97% natural and organic ingredients. Presented in sustainably produced, refillable bottles created exclusively for this collaboration, the design reflects Mandarin Oriental’s understated aesthetic and commitment to responsible luxury. Production and global supply are entrusted to ADA Cosmetics, combining advanced skincare expertise with the highest sustainability standards.
With this collaboration, Mandarin Oriental transforms daily rituals into immersive moments of comfort and storytelling, a subtle yet powerful reminder that true luxury is often expressed with quiet confidence.
All liquid products within the Whispers Of The Fan amenities line are presented in Amouage’s newly developed, sustainably produced refillable bottle, created exclusively for this collaboration. Echoing the distinctive lines of the Amouage Body Line collection, the design features a ceramic-feel rigid outer shell allowing each bottle to be reused multiple times, reinforcing Mandarin Oriental’s commitment to responsible luxury. The refill system incorporates a patented pump mechanism developed by ADA, ensuring that each refill is entirely hygienic while maintaining the highest standards of safety and guest comfort. The pale lotus hue reflects the understated aesthetic synonymous with Mandarin Oriental worldwide.
The solid soap, shaped in the Amouage royal emblem, is presented in an elegant box, completing the collection with refined detail. Created by perfumer Suzy Le Helley, the fragrance belongs to the Citrus Floral Fruity olfactive family, opening with notes of lemongrass, mandarin, coconut and ginger, unfolding into a heart of lotus flower, jasmine, rice and tea, and settling into a base of bamboo, incense and silk.
The Whispers Of The Fan amenities line will be introduced to Mandarin Oriental hotels in Barcelona, Mallorca and Hong Kong from June 2026, and in phased roll-out across other properties globally over the course of 2026.
