Is Chopard hosting you at this hotel?
If not, what a coincidence!

Chopard Retail has changed its fragrance collection
KIH,
Chopard Parfums 1st Collection
Caroline Scheufele
Limited Editions
Of course, the launch collection included two limited edition fragrances in special bottles....
Thanks for sharing the Chopard hospitality toiletries range.
That is not a retail range.
Chopard previously collaborated with Coty for more than 20 years to produce their fragrance collection.
In the last 18 months, they have completely changed their collection to raise their game in-house.
Chopard established their own fragrance house, Chopard Parfums, to be at the forefront of luxury NATURAL perfumery and appeal to a discerning generation in search of thoughtful, creative and inspiring luxury.
They try to be eco-friendly and fairtrade.
Chopard Parfums 1st Collection
Chopard co-president Caroline Scheufele introduced the parfums at 2017 Cannes Film Festival and they first appeared in a Moscow department store in May that year.

The new Collection showcases three naturals from the Firmenich NATURALS TOGETHER™ program for responsible natural ingredient sourcing. Chopard Parfums curated the collaboration with Master Perfumers Alberto Morillas and Nathalie Lorson – both reknown for exploring new ways to create natural and emotional scents.

Further I found in the drawer....
.... Chopard Dental set, Shaving set..... Of course, only the box says Chopard, so this must be some kind of collaboration. Anyway, I feel some comfort and "welcomed" surrounded by Chopard in the hotel room.....
Of course, it's comforting....
Ken,
In my travels, I've also found it comforting to see familiar toiletries like Bulgari, Chopard and Moulton Brown in hotels.
It reduces my packing needs and still provides familiar products.
These corporate brand licensing deals are fascinating as each hotel chain has their preferred partner.
When I first stayed in the Plas Vendome Hotel, Paris after it was bought by Chopard, they still stocked toiletries by A.N. Other watch/jewelery brand until the contract ran out... 😉

Cool!
I have the Chopard lip balm cream from Turkish Airlines. I haven't used it yet.
I've had the Hermes and Bulgari toiletries in many of my hotels. Those are normally quite good. A little too fragrant sometimes. The Shiseido products at some Japanese hotels are quite good too!
Thanks for sharing this Ken! They'll make a cool souvenir if you don't get anything else during your trip in Barcelona!
And try the Ulacia Getariako Txakolina white wine (I think it's 2015) if you can, this is one of my favorite wines I've tried recently. The Fillaboa Albarino 2016 white wine is also quite good. Both are inexpensive bottles (around 15 Euros at a store, probably 50 Euros at a restaurant).
Ulacia Getariako Txakolina
Reminds me of an old joke
“if you can recite the name of this wine when the officer pulls you over, you clearly haven’t consumed the legal limit”
I had some of this recently too. The importer must have sold a bunch in California.
Cheers,
Cazalea

I can't get my hands on any!
If you see any, let me know. But the local wine shops including the big box stores don't seem to have any around Northern California.
