You wait 20 years for a GQ endorsement and then 2 come along in one month* ...

This time it's the Mighty GQ USA - the World's Top Rated Style mag.

And in an article entirely devoted to how scrapers can get rid of bad breath - only one brand is name checked.

Yes, you guessed right it's AMANO™ - the brand that has put the Renaissance back into the ancient art of tongue cleansing.

This is what they said;

"Our favorite is this houndstooth Savile Row scraper from AMANO" 

Our Savile Row design pays homage to the quintessential and elegant art of British dressing - with its crafted houndstooth design. One could deduce that if Sherlock Holmes owned an AMANO™ - it would probably look like this.

Just to add, we simply loved the 'colourful' opening paragraph of the GQ article;

"Bacteria is breeding in your mouth right now. Yes, as you read this a whole bunch of microorganisms are shagging like rabbits in hot bacterium-on-bacterium action. And as a prize for you, they're going to leave behind a bunch of post-coital bacteria poop. (Technically, it's the sulfur produced by the orgy in your mouth)"

Well, that was a rather different take on things ... 

* This endorsement followed close on the heals of GQ UK placing AMANO™ as "10 COOLEST things in the World"  in June.

and TATLER saying "AMANO is ahead of the field".

And it's not just style gurus that are waxing lyrical about the merits of our Italian crafted tongue groomers. The flagship journal of the UK Dental Profession, The British Dental Journal called our top-of-the-range AMANO2017; "The Roman Emperor of tongue cleansers" this March.

We know what's on your lips; Is AMANO™ now the Rolex of tongue scrapers?

PRESS RELEASE

The secret to a perfect season of festivities?

It's on the tip of your tongue

Looking for the perfect solution for solving the Christmas conundrum of, trying to maximize your pleasure, whilst minimizing the consequences?

The AMANO Tongue Cleanser could be it … well we are the best selling tongue scraper in both Selfridges and Harrods !

Let's face it, the festivities season is tougher than an Olympic Triathlon event – and your tongue needs to be in tip-top condition to perform at its very best.

Lets start with the fabulous food and wine you’ll be indulging in.

If you truly want to appreciate the taste subtleties, a dirty debris encrusted tongue is a very bad starting point. Simply put, a clean tongue will ensure all food and wine tastes that much better.

(Medical fact: food debris trapped on the tongue’s surface will inhibit your taste buds performance)

Secondly a hygienically clean tongue will give you the confidence to deliver a truly sensational uninhibited kiss under the mistletoe - with the person you have fancied all year! This won't come as a surprise but, after all that food and wine, your breath will not be at its very best - and you’ll probably need a little help. Luckily your AMANO comes with a nifty travel case.

(Medical fact: A staggering 80% of bad breath comes from the tongue’s surface)

Finally, last thing at night a clean tongue will also help you to better sleep off the excesses of the night. Remember, if ignored, all that rich food trapped on your tongue will most certainly play merry havoc in your mouth.

So make sure you wake up without the dreaded ‘bottom of a birdcage’ mouth – refreshed and ready to start all over again!

So you can see, the AMANO Tongue Cleanser can help you maximise the pleasurable opportunities throughout the Triathlon of festivities, whilst alleviating those adverse consequences!

The dental science bit

Our tongues are one third of the surface area of the mouth, with a surface like a deep-pile carpet. This makes it an excellent trap for food debris and bacteria that, if ignored, will lead to plaque build up (a ten times increase after just one week of an uncleaned tongue), heightened dental decay risk, bad breath – and a suppressed taste sensation.

Tongue scraping has been medically shown to alleviate these issues (and incidentally research has shown is almost twice as effective as merely using a toothbrush).

About the AMANO

The Italian made AMANO range is designed to add elegance to the 2000-year ritual of tongue scraping.

AMANO is now the best selling tongue scraper in both Selfridges and Harrods – London’s premier department stores.

With a price of £10 to £15 we are slightly more expensive than the competition, but we are designed to be swiftly effective and built to last (the record is over 20 years service!) That makes an AMANO a fantastic investment.

And our range of snazzy designs will look great on your bathroom shelf and as a gift for someone you really care for…

Simple to use, the nickel and chrome alloy head of the AMANO Tongue Cleanser is gently drawn down the tongue’s surface, elegantly removing all the offending debris in 2 or 3 strokes. And because of its precise design and weight – you should not gag with an AMANO.

(PS: A little bit of history: Tongue cleansing was all in vogue back in the C18th and C19th, with George Washington and Victorian Aristocracy firm advocates of the routine).

The AMANO™ Tongue Cleanser appears to have achieved the exalted position of the tongue scraper of choice, for today's discerning super rich. 

Over the Summer of 2015, sales of the AMANO™ Tongue Cleanser rocketed in Harrods of Knightsbridge - purveyor of fine goods to the British Aristocracy for centuries - and now the Global Elite.

TATLER, the magazine for the British Upper Classes, started it all off with a glowing tribute in August written by Emma Freud (Great Grand-Daughter of Sigmund); 

"The AMANO Tongue Cleanser is leagues ahead of the rest of the field. At long last, I have managed to find SOMEONE who is taking tongue cleaning seriously" 

This was swiftly followed by a Customer from Long Island, New York, spending almost £400 on top end AMANOs from the online store and exclaiming; 

" I have several residences and my husband and I already have 2 AMANOs at each location. I do not take them when I travel because I am afraid they will get lost or the airline will confiscate them. They are my prize possessions and I guard them"

To cap it all, an enlightened customer walked into Harrods and spent over £800 on an astonishing fifty four (54) AMANOs™ from the 2015 range of deluxe designs. 

Mano Manoharan, Owner and Founder of AMANO™ said; 

" Our 25 year mission has been to encourage people to also give their tongues some TLC when it comes to oral care. We set out to create the 'Rolex' of tongue cleaners - in terms of design, efficiency and durability. And judging by recent events we are certainly on track!"

"We have been told by Harrods that selling 54 of a single item, to one person, is something of a 'record' for a pharmacy product. Not surprisingly AMANO™ is by far their best selling tongue cleaner"

Notes:

The Italian crafted AMANO™ Tongue Cleanser will swiftly and elegantly remove food and bacterial debris (and more) that causes bad breath and other oral care issues - with none of the dreaded 'gag' affect.

The AMANO™ Tongue Cleanser is available in select stores in London (such as Selfridges, Harrods and D.R. Harris), New York and Chicago and online - from £12 to £92.

The £15 price tag for a long lasting AMANO™ contrasts with disposable budget plastic tongue cleaners that typically cost from £1 to £6 each.
