The L'Occitane Almond Collection is the best ever collection and anyone who reads my blog will know tht I adore it. In recent weeks there have been a few new launches to L'Occitane which I have shared and am sharing. The Shea Sparking Leaves Collection, I have raved about in this post and today is another new launch and it is the L'Occitane Almond and Flowers Collection.
Described as being a mouth-watering fragrance where the subtle scent of almond is intertwined with olive blossom and citrus scents, the L'Occitane Almond and Flowers Collection is simply beautiful. Made up of a Shower Oil, Bath Cube, Hand Cream and Milk Concentrate the packaging is as stunning as the products themselves.
Starting with the Almond and Flowers Shower Oil (£19.50), which as you can expect is designed to help hydrate and nourish the skin all day long. As with its sister oil, when this shower oil comes into contact with water, it transforms from an oil into a sheer milky lotion to gently cleanse the body. Enriched in almond and olive oil,not only does it help to keep skin moisturised it also leaves behind the most subtle floral scent, where the notes of almond intertwine with the fresh notes of olive blossom and citruses such as Neroli.
The second product is the Almond and Flowers Milk Concentrate (£44) and one body care product I am guaranteed to use is a L'Occitane body product, they're somewhat addictive and I make my way through a lot of refills.
This Milk Concentrate has a luxuriously rich texture and is just a delight to use. Again it is enriched in the same softening and moisturising almond and olive oil. Its job is to deliver long-lasting hydration to the skin as well as to improve suppleness, and smooth the skin. On conact with the skin, it absorbs quickly and leaves behind a slightly stronger scent that the Shower Oil gives, and again it is that comforting notes of almond alongside those fresh notes of olive blossom and citruses.
Then finally I have the Almond and Flowers Delicious Hands (£9) and it is described as being a light hand cream that has a delicately perfumed floral gourmand scent.
No L'Occitane collection is complete without a hand cream and this one is beautiful to use. It is described as being a hand cream which embellishes the skin and softens the cuticles, whilst at the same time enveloping them with a floral gourmand scent. Again, those same fragrance notes which are present in the Milk Concentrate and the Shower Oil are present in the hand cream, so you get the notes of almond intertwined with the fresh notes of olive blossom and citruses. On the hands, the silky smooth texture is fast absorbing and non-greasy or tacky, it leaves behind a wonderful lingering scent on the skin.
This collection is on sale now with L'Occitane and it is, as you would expect to find Vegan-friendly and made as sustainably as possible.
