Lux Hotel Cosmetics
Lux hotel cosmetics come from the world's second largest bath and shower brand. What sets them apart from other hotel lines is not the formula but the fragrance: for decades Lux has worked with perfumers of the kind otherwise known from fine perfumery.
Why Lux hotel cosmetics sell through their fragrance
With most hotel cosmetics, the packaging decides whether the guest considers them high quality. With Lux, the first breath under the shower decides. The brand has honed its profile over decades on a single question: what a fragrance feels like that turns an everyday shower into something special.

Why the fragrance, of all things, is the argument
Fragrance is the part of an amenity that no data sheet captures and that every guest notices anyway. Lux does not treat it as an accessory but as the core of the product. Three pieces of evidence, all from the manufacturer's brand deck.
Its own perfumers
Lux works with a fixed circle of perfumers who stand for the brand by name: Nicole Mancini, Anne-Sylvie Seleznef and Loc Dong. In mass cosmetics that is the exception, in fine perfumery the rule.
Grasse
The brand supports the International Perfume Museum in Grasse and keeps its own jasmine garden there. Grasse has been the centre of European perfume making since the 16th century.
Its own raw material
For the patchouli oil Lux works with the fragrance house Firmenich and sources it from its own plantation in Indonesia instead of buying it on the world market. More under Origin.
And this is the name of the fragrance you get: Lily and Bergamot. It is printed on every bottle of our formats, in four languages below the product name. Lily and bergamot, so a white blossom against a bright citrus note. All six products carry the same fragrance, in the dispenser as in the canister.
What that means for your property. You are not buying an anonymous formula with a sticker but a brand whose fragrance work can be documented. That is exactly the kind of detail a guest cannot name and still mentions in the review.
Lux hotel cosmetics in two formats, nothing else
For the hotel trade, Lux is available refillable only. The dispenser stands in the bathroom, the canister stands in the store room, and between the two lies the only hand movement housekeeping has to learn.
500 ml dispenser
Petrol coloured bottle with matching pump, all six products in the same format and the same colour. The product name is printed on the label in four languages. At eight millilitres per use, one dispenser lasts for around 62 uses.

Branded goods are delivered unchanged. Lux comes in the design that stands on shelves worldwide, without hotel logo, without your own label, without a special colour. That is exactly what your guest recognises the brand by. Anyone who needs their logo on the product itself needs a private label →
Units per carton, carton dimensions and pallet layout we confirm with the quote, because they are currently being confirmed by the manufacturer.
Six products, one fragrance: Lily and Bergamot
Other hotel lines have five products. Lux has six, and the sixth is the interesting one: a hair and body wash that does both. Properties that want to save space in the bathroom place it on its own and manage with three dispensers instead of four.
Shampoo
The hair wash of the line, in the same fragrance as the other five products.
Conditioner
The rinse to go with the shampoo, for combability after washing.
Hair and body wash
Hair and body in one product. The dispenser many properties place instead of two.
Shower gel
The pure shower gel for properties that want to offer hair and body separately.
Hand soap
Liquid soap for the washbasin, in the fragrance of the line.
Body lotion
The care after the shower, also available in both formats.
All six in both formats. There is no product available only as a dispenser or only as a canister. So you can equip every floor exactly as suits the room layout, without having to do without a product.

Kotayasa, Indonesia
With amenities, sustainability is usually a statement about the packaging. With Lux there is an additional one about the content, and it can be traced back to one place.
The raw material
Patchouli is one of the most expensive and hardest to trace fragrance raw materials. Instead of buying it on the world market, Lux, together with the fragrance house Firmenich, has built a sourcing programme on the patchouli plantation Kotayasa in Indonesia, so that every drop in the product has a known source.
The people
The programme includes a kindergarten on the site. It is the reason the women farmers of the plantation can work without having to hand over the care of their children. That is not a donation but part of the supply chain.
What you can tell with it. When a guest or a corporate client asks about your sourcing, with this line you have an answer with a place name. That is more than most amenities offer.
The legal framework from 2030, in brief
From 1 January 2030 the European packaging regulation bans the small single-use containers of cosmetics in the accommodation sector. Anyone still placing miniatures today has a changeover ahead. Anyone relying on dispensers and canisters has it behind them.
Dispenser into the bathroom
Six products, 500 ml, with pump. At eight millilitres per use, one dispenser lasts for around 62 uses.
Canister into the store room
One 5 litre canister fills ten dispensers. Housekeeping refills instead of disposing.
No changeover date
Because the line has no miniatures anyway, you need no separate project plan for 2030.
Bedarfsrechner
Sechs Produkte teilen sich einen Duft, aber nicht denselben Verbrauch. Der Rechner nimmt jedes einzeln und zeigt, wie viele Kartons Lux im Monat durch Ihr Haus gehen.

Lux, Dove or TRESemmé: three routes, the same format
All three lines come in the 500 ml dispenser and the 5 litre canister. The decision is not made on the technology but on the appearance in the bathroom.
Lux, this page
The fragrance is the argument, not the formula. Six products in one fragrance line, plus the hair and body wash for small bathrooms.
Dove
