Whenever I walk into a hotel bathroom, the first thing I look for is the toiletries. At the newly launched Mercure Shaw Parade, there was a row of pastel bottles. They look bigger than what I usually see in hotels. These bottles could probably last me 5 days or more. I doubt any guest has to ask for a 2nd bottle unless they are staying a long time. At Mercure, Mangosteen Signature Products are available.
According to Mangosteen’s website (this is a Malaysian brand), these products are developed to introduce the world to the fresh and unique scents and fragrances of Southeast Asia that derive from the amazing diversity of flowers, fruits and herbs that flourish in this lush and verdant part of the world. The flowers, fruits and herbs that are used in Mangosteen’s range of personal care products are either indigenous to the rain forests of this region or natives of another but that thrive in this hot tropical land.
Mangosteen’s signature products are:-
Pomelo Shower Gel
The pomelo, also known as the Chinese grapefruit, is a large tropical citrus fruit that grows abundantly in Malaysia and Thailand. Its green skin and think pith conceal the sweet and tangy white or pink flesh. This zesty refreshing shower gel will awaken the senses.
Pomegranate Body Lotion
An original native of Persia, the pomegranate has long been cultivated in South-East Asia and is known to be a powerful antioxidant. Its lovely sweet fragrance lingers on the skin after applying this silky body lotion.
Cucumber and Wild Mint Shampoo
The South-East Asian cucumber has a speckled skin and is juicier that its temperate cousins. Combined with Wild Mint, this shampoo cleanses, refreshes and restores.
Watermelon Conditioner
Watermelons in South-East Asia are round with dark green skins or elliptical with a striped lighter green skin. They usually have deep red to pink flesh but sometimes can be yellow or orange. Whatever the variety they are delicious. This conditioner treats your hair and smells good enough to eat.
