Hey guys! This is my first ever review for L’occitane products. A little background information – L’occitane is a French company started by Olivier Baussan when he was 23 years old. He started distilling rosemary essences and selling them at the village markets in Provence. He later on expanded to making soaps and the rest is history.
L’occitane usually name their products based on the ingredient they use and pride themselves in using natural ingredients. I was going to first review their Almond line but since I’m already using their Verbena/Verveine products I’ll start off with this.
Verbena is a citrusy plant that grows commonly in France. Its leaves have often been used historically for alternative medicine. The three products I currently use are:
\
1) Verveine Deodorant – It smells nice, my armpits don’t sweat, it hasn’t made a stain on any of my shirts but it’s not very strong. If you're into an active lifestyle, you will need to reapply this deodorant frequently. It could be better used during winter or colder temperature when you don’t perspire so much.
2) Verveine Eau de Toilet – Very refreshing scent, extra citrusy since it also has lemon and grapefruit essences in it. I’m sometimes reminded of dishwashing soap with this scent but so far people have been commenting on how fresh and delightful the scent is.
3) Verveine Sorbet Body Cream – My most favorite product to date. It is absolutely refreshing on my body because of its cooling effect. I love to apply this before after a shower. It’s also perfect for the summer when you’re feeling hot and sticky. This cream feels like the breeze is on your skin. I can’t go to sleep without having my sorbet body cream ritual. I honestly have an easier time falling asleep. I’ve also been waking up better the past few days.
