Last year, I receive a gift of the Les Vanilliers Vanilla Bath & Shower Gel by L’Occitane at a bridal shower (I won one of those goofy games). I fell in love with this sensual, invigorating shower gel and its amazing vanilla scent. It produces a rich foamy lather that rinses off clean and easily. The result is that your skin feels and smells clean and fresh.
When my bottle was running empty, I looked on the L’Occitane website and realized the product must have been discontinued. How disappointing! But when searching the internet, I found it at a few online …read more

Like many others who wake at 6 a.m. for work, I’m almost completely brain dead in the morning. I remember my skincare routine, to brush and floss and make coffee, but dousing my wrist with perfume rarely makes it to my list of must-dos.
L’Occitane makes it possible for me to remain scatterbrained, something I greatly appreciate. I keep a small tube of Butterfly Lavender Joyful Fragrance Touch in my purse and while sitting in traffic, simply dig out the perfume and apply the small brush to my pulse points for an instant and subtly sweet fragrant touch-up.
The smooth gel, made …read more

The Bergamot Tea Body Milky Mist differs from many other body sprays in that it …read more

And L’Occitane Extra Gentle Cleansing Milk is there for me, orange blossom water and all.
At $20, the milk cleanser is a bit pricier than drugstore brands, but worth it. …read more

You are likely to find this product if you are visiting an exclusive hotel – I tried it when I was staying at the Water Club in Atlantic City – but you can buy it right at Nordstrom too.
It’s meant to stimulate and regenerate dry and damaged hair, using a complex of five essential oils – angelica, lavender, geranium, ylang-ylang, and patchouli. It seems fab, and really made my hair feel shiny and smooth!
