SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT ๐ฃ
Meet Lina - the founder of Maison Ameirro.
Her passion for perfumery found its way into luxury hospitality through something rather unexpectedโฆ fragrance for vacuums.
Yes, really!
Imagine fine fragrance being diffused into a space by housekeeping while vacuuming.
Its not another scented or cleaning product. It is fine fragrance โ created with master perfumers in Grasse (the heart of French perfumery) โ infused into a natural fiber designed specifically for luxury hotels.
The idea was simple โ to bring the passion for perfumery into an unexpected part of hospitality: housekeeping!
To create a more refined scent experience within hotel spaces, without harsh synthetic smells or overpowering room sprays.
Because luxury is also sensory.
โWe are delighted to join AICR UK as a sponsor and look forward to connecting with people who share the same passion for exceptional guest experience.โ
