    The Amenity Studio Opens at Conrad Manila

    In Partnership with “Heures d’Orange” Afternoon Tea at C Lounge, The Amenity Studio Opens at Conrad Manila.

    Manila, Philippines — A new destination for refined gifting and scent-led experiences arrives as The Amenity Studio officially opens its doors at Conrad Manila. Located on the ground floor, the store introduces a thoughtfully curated selection of premium hotel amenities and fragrances, bringing the essence of luxury hospitality into everyday rituals.

    Marking its debut, The Amenity Studio partners with Conrad Manila for “Heures d’Orange”, an exclusive afternoon tea experience at C Lounge. Inspired by the Hermès Hôtelier Collection, the offering transforms signature scent notes into a refined culinary journey—where fragrance and flavor come together in a seamless, sensory pairing.

    Guests are first invited into a fragrance discovery, where they may choose from five Hermès scent testers, each thoughtfully paired with a corresponding tea. Eau d’Orange Verte offers a fresh and uplifting profile, much like Earl Grey; Un Jardin sur la Lagune is vibrant and expressive, just like mango strawberry tea; Eau de Merveilles Bleue is delicate and light, reminiscent of jasmine tea; Eau de Merveilles, presented as a wearable pendant, reveals a warm sweetness alongside chamomile; while Terre d’Hermès brings an earthy depth, complemented by sencha green tea. Curiosity unfolds as guests explore each fragrance—an intimate sensory journey that heightens anticipation for what follows.

    The experience continues with a thoughtfully composed menu of savory and sweet selections, each inspired by Hermès fragrances. Savory creations include Un Jardin en Méditerranée (duck prosciutto, fig-orange compote, brioche), Un Jardin sur le Toit (crab meat, green apple, avocado emulsion), Twilly d’Hermès Eau Ginger (tuna, ginger, savory crisps), and Eau de Citron Noir (cucumber, lemon labneh, black lime dust).

    Sweet indulgences follow with Eau des Merveilles (orange and praline dark chocolate bonbons), Un Jardin sur le Toit (apple and pear rose choux), Un Jardin sur le Nil (mango rose macaron), and Eau de Pamplemousse Rose (grapefruit and thyme almond tartlets). Completing the experience are freshly baked scones, including classic buttermilk and Eau d’Orange Verte (orange peel buttermilk scones).

    More than a retail space, The Amenity Studio is envisioned as a lifestyle concept—one that elevates the way people experience scent, gifting, and self-care. The store currently features the Hermès Hôtelier Collection, known for its distinct fragrances and timeless formulations, presented in travel-sized formats that embody both practicality and indulgence.

    “At The Amenity Studio, we wanted to create a space where luxury is experienced, not just purchased,” shares Mitch Garcia-Arce, founder of The Amenity Studio. “From curated amenities to collaborations like ‘Heures d’Orange,’ our goal is to bring the sensibility of fine hotels into everyday living—making each moment feel considered and elevated.”

    The collaboration with Conrad Manila reflects a shared vision of refined hospitality—where attention to detail, craftsmanship, and guest experience take center stage. With “Heures d’Orange” available exclusively at C Lounge, guests are invited to discover a new way of experiencing scent beyond the traditional, through taste, texture, and atmosphere.

    Now open at the ground floor of Conrad Manila, The Amenity Studio welcomes guests and visitors to explore its collection and discover a new expression of modern luxury—one that is intimate, sensory, and thoughtfully curated.
