L’Occitane brings a whiff of the holiday season
MANILA, Philippines -The nippy air can only mean the holiday season is just around the bend. And at L’Occitane, it’s beginning to look — and smell — a lot like Christmas.
As the holiday season approaches, experience two new scentsational offerings from L’Occitane Collection De Grasse: Fleur D’or & Acacia and Cedre & Oranger.
Specially for Collection de Grasse, Karine Dubreuil, L’Occitane perfumer, tells of two scents that remind her of the Christmas she spent in the town of her childhood. Fleur D’or & Acacia, eau de toilette for women, is an addicting accord of mimosa absolute and acacia, evoking that moment when the first trees come into blossom and that orangey glow of the December light. This tender and enveloping repertoire conjures up sweet memories within the sensual depths of musk and white wood.
Cedre & Oranger is a men’s fragrance that makes perfect sense, arriving just in time to gather the first fruits of the year: bergamot and orange from Italy. Mischievous orange, still tinged with green, awakens an accord that would be dominated by the woody notes of Virginian cedar — were it not for the presence of the fruit. The surge of citrus is immediately softened by sweet scents of musk.
L’Occitane is available at Rustan’s The Beauty Source.
