Perth to Provence with a single step into a L’Occitance store. It is indeed a magical world of mystery, with scents that will beguile you and products that celebrate your femininity. On entering L’Occitane I was warmly greeted by the salesperson and offered a refreshing cup of tea! I thought that was a real nice touch. I had time on my hands and had quite a few gifts I had to purchase, so I decided to browse on my own. The scents and the beauty products are amazing, each little section is wonderful in its own way. The fresh zest of the lemon verbena, the subtle peony, the soothing calmness of the lavender, the richness of the rose and countless others means there is a product to suit everyone. L’Occitance was founded by Olivier Baussan who at 23 had a vision of preserving the tradition and wonder of Provence. I think he succeeded as the L’Occitane name is synonymous with beauty products the world over. Should you wish to purchase some pampering products for the men in your life, there is a section dedicated to this end. In addition, there is a commitment to the environment and a commitment to people. There are constantly fund raising campaigns assisting those in need. There is a massive sale on at present, so I over indulged and went home a happy shopper!
