Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance and a Bit of Fashion
In April, L’Occitane revamped its Pivoine Flora range and extended the Pivoine lineup with the new Pivoine Sublime skincare range. As far as I know, this is the second renewal of the original Paeonia range, which was released in 2010. (Read my review of Paeonia Eau de Toilette here.) Today I will be reviewing three items from the Pivoine Sublime range (Skin Perfector, Perfecting Cream and CC Skin Tone Perfecting Cream) and the relaunched Pivoine Flora Hand Cream.

In the last few years, L’Occitane released two fragrances for the holiday season each year. For holiday 2014, the brand launched Arlésienne Eau de Toilette in the UK last month. The fragrance is inspired by Madame Ginoux from Arles in the south of France, who inspired artists such as Van Gogh, Picasso and Bizet.

Last summer, L’Occitane debuted La Collection de Grasse, a collection of fragrances created by the brand’s new (and first) in-house perfumer, Karine Dubreuil. The idea of the collection is that each scent is based on two main notes from different parts of the world. (In Japan, the collection is called Ampersand Grasse, highlighting the key concept of union.)
The launch lineup featured four scents: Jasmin & Bergamote, Magnolia & Mûre, Vanille & Narcisse, and Thé Vert & Bigarade. For fall 2013, Ambre & Santal was launched, and, for holiday 2013, Fleur d’Or & Acacia and Cèdre & Oranger were added to the collection. (Also, Rose & Osmanthus is available in some countries.) Today I am featuring Thé Vert & Bigarade.

Launched in 2007, L’Occitane‘s Cherry Blossom has been one of the brand’s most popular fragrances. Since 2008, there has been a limited-edition creation surrounding the theme of cherry or blossom each year (Cherry (2008), Peach Blossom (2009), Wild Cherry (2010), Plum Blossom (2011), and Cherry Princess (2012)). This year, we have Spring Cherry.
