Perfume butler the new hot trend in the USA

Room service now comes with a very different smell at a chain of hotels in the US. The Rosewood Hotels group is employing 24-hour fragrance butlers at eight of its properties.

When summoned, the butler appears at the door with a selection of perfumes and colognes on a silver tray, according to a report in newspaper USA Today.

After spraying is completed, the butler takes the tray away, but will return as often as required.

Explaining the concept in a written statement, Rosewood says: "Between skyrocketing checked baggage fees and strict airline security regulations limiting liquids in carry-ons, travelling with one’s signature scents has become increasingly challenging".
