L’occitane Holiday Collection– A Grand Body Care Voyage Through Provence and Beyond
L’occitane invites you to a Grand Voyage along the Citrus Road with this year’s holiday collection: four internationally renowned citrus fruits have been blended into the brand’s signature Rose, Shea and Almond lines. This holiday collection is enhanced by traditional Toile de Jouy- illustrated packaging by Calicot Paris, depicting, in its detail-rich form, a train travelling through citrus-inspired Provençal landscapes.
The brand’s fragrant Almond has been combined with Luminciana lemon, otherwise known as the Panettone lemon, alongside vibrant tea extracts to form a comforting take on the Almond line. The Almond Citron Luminciana shower oil foams perfectly in water to cleanse and fragrance the skin, while the Almond Citron Luminciana Milk Concentrate hydrates and awakens.
We are always fans of rose scents, and the Rose Citron Meyer Eau de Toilette is a stellar example: it opens with sparkling, fresh Meyer Lemon, before diving into a bouquet of L’occitane’s signature heady Provençal roses. This bright scent can also be found in the Rose Citron Meyer Hand Cream and Body Cream, enriched with nourishing Shea butter.
The L’occitane holiday collection is available in all L’occitane retail outlets, and online at the store.

Bobbi Brown’s eyeshadow shades always carry that artistic nuance, and so do these: we have our eyes on Copper Prism, a saturated topaz yellow; Emerald, a deep peacock green reminiscent of Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra; and Sapphire, a rich lapis-lazuli blue.
