New for the Holiday 2014 season, L’Occitane has introduced a beautiful new permanent fragrance collection called Arlésienne, boasting notes of Rose from Grasse, sweet violet and saffron from Provence combined together in a floral fusion that reveals unexpected nuances. Elegant and mysterious, the Arlésienne fragrance is the embodiment of the women from the city of Arles – full of mystery, beauty and grace. This truly feminine scent comes in everything from perfume to soap, to candles, ranging from $5 – $50.
Arlésienne has the subtle combination of saffron and mandarin top notes, the freshness of rose and lily of the valley in heart notes, and sensual sandalwood, violet and tonka bean for base notes. The beautiful bottle of the perfume, engraved with flowers, and colorful case are inspired by the lively dance of the Arlesienne.
The Arlésienne Collection gift set includes a complementary collection of products echoing the original fragrance. This limited-edition set includes :
- Arlésienne Eau de Toilette 2.5 fl.oz
- Arlésienne Shower Cream 2.3 fl.oz
- Arlésienne Hand Cream 1 .oz
- Arlésienne Body Milk 8.4 fl.oz
Arlésienne Eau De Toilette – I am absolutely in love with this gorgeous fragrance! It’s a lovely soft floral, not too sweet and is both classically feminine and utterly modern. Arlésienne is not at all heady or overwhelming, but lasts a long time – especially when it’s layered with other products in the collection. It has become one of those fragrances I can’t get enough of and find myself reaching for over & over again. I have surely found my new signature scent for the season!
Arlésienne Beauty Milk – Enriched with shea butter, this body lotion has a lightweight fluid texture that just melts onto your skin, enveloping your senses with the delicate yet vibrant fragrance of Arlésienne bouquet: rose, sweet violet and saffron. The formula is nicely moisturizing without a greasy feel and the soft scent lingers all day long!
Arlésienne Shower Cream – This lightly fragranced shower cream foams up nicely but the mild formula is not at all drying and leaves skin feeling clean and refreshed. It adds a nice touch of aromatherapy to my routine morning shower!
Arlésienne Velvet Hand Cream – L’Occitane’s shea-butter enriched hand creams have always been one of my winter skincare staples and this one is even better with its beautiful Arlésienne fragrance! It has a rich, creamy yet non-greasy texture that absorbs fairly quickly and locks in moisture for long-lasting nourishment and softness.
Arlésienne Solid Perfume – This solid perfume is not a part of the Arlésienne collection gift set but can be purchased separately here for $12. All the delicacy of the Arlésienne is captured in this compact solid perfume, perfect for keeping in your purse for travel or fragrant touch-ups throughout the day! This is a limited edition item that won’t be available after the holiday season.
L’Occitane Arlésienne Collection gift set is a fantastic gift for any fragrance lover on your holiday list – mom, daughter, sister, friend, co-worker (and yourself!) Wrapped in an ultra-giftable, festive package, this pampering, enviably chic gift set is perfect to fête your loved ones this holiday season! Available at usa.loccitane.com for $68
