Beirut, Lebanon; 15 November 2016: December brings with it a flurry of holidays, family time and stockings full of gifts to cherish for the next 365 days. With the New Year at the doorstep, the festive season is suffused with a sense of beginnings, freshness and adventure. Inspired by the season’s celebration of new journeys and spirited living, L’Occitane en Provence has created two new scents – one for him and one for her – that not only makes for memorable tokens but is reminiscent of unique yet evocative moments of joy.
For Her: The Floral, Fresh and Feisty Arlésienne
Arlésienne celebrates the power of women – arrestingly bold yet undeniably warm; fiercely individualistic yet part of a global sisterhood; sweet with a touch of spice. Opening with a citrus burst of bergamot, the fragrance is elevated by a spicy saffron note. This sparkling freshness complemented by the bold, crisp, spirited greenness of galbanum is chased by the delicious almondy scent of hawthorn. Settling into the honeyed and spicy notes of the May Rose, a wave of violet adds an alluring opulence that is expectedly offset by a tangy, leafy freshness. The scent sinks into its base notes with hints of iris, flourishes of white musk and the woody warmth of ambrette and sandalwood.
The Arlésienne EDT (75 ml) is priced at LL 129,000 and available at L’Occitane boutiques around Lebanon.
For the woman who appreciates a quality beauty ritual, L’Occitane brings together the charm of three grand scents in its Arlésienne set, reminiscent of the different regions of France – the rose of Grasse, the violet of Tourrettes-Sur-Loup and the saffron of Provence.
The collective is composed of a moisturizing, nourishing and beautifying group that includes Just Add Water, a delightful bath & shower gel; Pamper Yourself, a velvety beauty milk; Keep It Close To Hand, a buttery hand-cream; Beautify Your Hair, a delicate hair mist; Put A Smile On Your Lips, a delicious lip gloss and The Final Touch, a beautifully scented soap.
The Arlésienne shower gel (250ml) is priced at LL 34,000; The Arlesienne body milk (250ml) is priced at LL 52,000; Arlesienne hand cream (30 ml) is priced at LL 20,000; the Arlesienne hair mist (50ml) is priced at LL 43,000 and the Arlesienne soap is priced at LL 13,000.
For Him: L’Homme Cologne Cédrat evokes Freedom and Freshness
The L’Homme Cologne Cédrat man loves the unknown, hence this fragrance tempers the intensity of citrus and marine notes with cedar, musk and amber wood. Inspired by the sailors of Arles, who were inseparable from the salty scents of the ocean and the sylvan fragrance of the spices, fruits and woods they transported from faraway lands, the new scent suggests the thrill of travel and the freedom of the wind.
L’Homme Cologne Cédrat EDT (75 ml) is priced at LL 108,000 and available at L’Occitane boutiques around Lebanon.
A complete set for the ultimate grooming ritual, L’Occitane presents a collection that evokes the freshness of the sea with lofty aqua notes – Just Add Water, a minty-fresh body and hair shower gel; After-Shaving, a fresh and invigorating gel-cream and Throughout The Day, a tangy cleansing soap. Perfect for minimalistic guy with adventure on his mind!
