L’Occitane Christmas Gifting Sample Review

 

I always love reviewing the L’Occitane Christmas gifting range, the packaging is so bright and cheerful, and there is always a huge price bracket to choose from. Whether you are looking for a Secret Santa or a tree gift, to something more extravagant, L’Occitane makes gifting easy. It’s also worth noting that they have complimentary gift wrapping and this weekend delivery is free!

Fragrance Collection Verbena £69 worth £82

The packaging entices the recipient not just by the colourful box, but by the delicately wrapped products in crisp yellow tissue paper. Unwrapping this is a delight as inside you’ll find:-

• 100ml Verbena Eau de Toilette 
• 250ml Verbena Shower Gel
• 30ml Cooling Hand Cream Gel

The perfume, as you would expect from Verbena is lemony, uplifting, citrus and revitalising. It’s ideal to use not just as a signature scent, but to also spritz when you need clarity and concentration. It awakens the senses and helps get rid of brain fog.

The top notes of Lemon and Orange are zesty, citrusy whilst middle and base notes of Verbena, Petit Grain, Rose and Geranium leave a woody, almost aromatic scent that tantalises your senses without being overtly sweet. 

The Shower Gel makes showering an utter pleasure, the fragrance fills the bathroom with zesty Verbena and again, is ideal for first thing in the morning to make you feel bright eyed and bushy tailed, or before a night out if you’re feeling rather jaded. 

It contains Lippia Citriodora Leaf Extract / Litsea Cubeba Fruit Oil aka Verbena, a plant full of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits so help detoxify and reduce puffiness. It also helps remove excess oil so ideal if you suffer with acne.

Also included is their best selling Cooling Hand Cream Gel in Verbena. This lemon scented cream is infused with Peppermint and Thyme that gives a cooling effect, whilst also acts to protect the hands from dirt, bacteria etc. Rapeseed Oil helps nourish and moisturise the hands, whilst also acting as an anti-inflammatory making it ideal to soothe dry, chapped hands.

The set makes for a beautiful gift for that someone very special.
