[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] So, as promised, I’m back with the beautiful L’Occitane gifting options – urgh, I can’t believe I called these presents ‘gifting options’ – I’ve been here too long! My family loves L’Occitane – from my 89 year old dad to my sister to my kids so from over the years, I feel like I could sit an exam in L’Occitane Christmasses especially as my dad has been buying it since before I was even a beauty writer.
There are two sets in particular – the one you see above which is Combawa (which you might know as South-East Asian lime) gives such a beautiful, awakening and enlivening kick of sweet citrus that you can’t help but smile when you smell it.
It’s the boxes that are sending these gift sets onto another level – they just look so premium and so expensive. Inside the Combawa box you’ll find a 200ml Combawa Shower Cream, a 30ml Combawa Hand Cream and a 50g Combawa Soap. L’Occitane uses a lot of shea butter so nothing is drying, everything feels luxurious and all in all, this is a proper treat. It’s £32 HERE.
My next choice is the similar but with slightly sharper aspects to the fragrance – Kumquat. The main difference is the Foaming Shower Gel rather than the Shower Cream and let me tell you, if you have never used a foaming shower gel, you have a joy in store! It’s fragranced flumps of foam (I’ll put my teeth back in now) that are soft and billowy over the body and just delicious to use.
I absolutely hate a shower – give me a bath any day of the week (in fact, almost every day of the week) – and if you’re the same don’t let the ‘shower’ label put you off. This Shower Gel is too nice to save exclusively for the shower – cover yourself in zesty fluff in the bath if you like. There are no rules! It’s also £32 HERE. They’re both pretty much unisex so these sets could do a lot of heavy lifting of the old shopping list.
