NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's favorite lotion sparks interest; Mandarin Oriental switches to Amouage amenities

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's visits to Taiwan always generate buzz, with everything from his meals to his attire becoming talking points. During his recent appearance at NVIDIA's Taiwan employee event, he personally handed out his favorite lotion to staff, causing a stir. The identity of this "mystery lotion" favored by the tech mogul was quickly sought after by netizens.

Following the news, a netizen posted on Threads asking about the lotion. Given that Huang was once again staying at the Taipei Mandarin Oriental Hotel, many speculated that he had given out the hotel's popular amenity brand, Diptyque's "Refreshing Body Lotion."

This body lotion features a delicate orange blossom scent as its main note, blended with the green notes of bitter orange leaf, exuding a clean and fresh feeling as if one has just bathed. It has long been a favorite among many travelers. With Jensen Huang's accidental product placement, the discussion around this lotion has recently surged.

However, just as the public was discussing Huang's "same model" lotion, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group quietly made a significant decision.

An official announcement recently stated that the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has launched a global strategic cooperation with the top Omani fragrance brand AMOUAGE. In the future, a newly created exclusive amenity series called "Whispers Of The Fan" will replace the existing in-room amenities, and will be gradually promoted to all Mandarin Oriental locations worldwide starting in June. This means that the next time Jensen Huang checks into the Taipei Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the in-room amenities may no longer be Diptyque, but will be taken over by the Omani royal family's exclusive fragrance brand AMOUAGE.

AMOUAGE, known as the "Omani royal family's exclusive fragrance brand," has always been famous for its high-end custom scents. The inspiration for this collaboration comes from Mandarin Oriental's most iconic cities, Hong Kong and Bangkok, as well as the 11-petal fan emblem that symbolizes the brand's spirit.

The perfumery team selected 11 fragrance notes to echo the 11 fan leaves, including lemongrass, citrus, ginger, coconut, lotus, jasmine, rice, tea leaves, bamboo, frankincense, and silk imagery, creating a scent that combines Asian cultural heritage with Omani oriental charm. The product line includes shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand wash, body lotion, and exclusive soap, all with vegan formulas.

If you wish to get a preview of the fragrance charm of AMOUAGE, the future amenity partner of Mandarin Oriental, you can currently explore its perfumery style through the brand's perfume works. AMOUAGE's popular "Secret Garden Collection," launched in 2016, has been widely acclaimed, and recently launched a new work, "Love Hibiscus" (100ml / NT$13,800), which injects a more intense and mysterious sensory experience into the series with a unique combination of hibiscus and salted caramel.

The bottle design continues the classic silhouette of the Secret Garden series, presented in a crimson hue, with a delicate ceramic-like texture that feels warm and smooth to the touch, adhering to the brand's consistent emphasis on artistic craftsmanship and luxurious aesthetics.
