L`Occitane en Provence Fleurs de Cerisier Folie Florale

by: Sanja Pekic

Almost every year in time for spring, L'Occitane en Provence launches a fragrance inspired by the cherry blossom scent as a variation of the original Fleurs de Cerisierfrom 2007. In February 2016, the new collection Fleurs de Cerisier Folie Florale is presented, bringing "a breath of pure happiness" to the table.

"When springtime comes, white blossoms appear on the branches of the cherry trees. Like floral fireworks, they light up the orchards of Provence. The flowers burst open, releasing a vibrant, sparkling scent.“

Fresh, fruity and sparkling, the new fragrance begins with citrusy aromas of bergamot and mandarin orange. The heart reveals cherry blossom flirting with floral aromas of rose and violet, which dissolves into the base of musk. The fragrant water of blooming cherry used in this fragrance was obtained by extraction at low temperatures. The flowers are hand-harvested in the south of France in the region of Luberon.
 

Top notes: bergamot, mandarin Heart: cherry blossom, rose, violet Base: musk

The fragrance is available as a 50 ml Eau de Toilette with an accompanying collection.

Pastry Chef Pierre Hermé Art Directs Three Perfume Creations At L'Occitane (2015)

Pierre Hermé is renowned amongst gourmand people for his gustative research often inspired by the refined sensations of perfumery. With Jasmin-Immortelle-Neroli, Pamplemousse-Rhubarbe and Miel-Mandarine he signs a new collaboration with fragrance house L'Occitane en Provence...

The limited-edition collection is inspired by brand founder Olivier Baussan and Pierre Hermé's common love of Corsica where they spend their summers. The Island of Beauty is reputed for its fragrant atmosphere; not surprisingly, it is the region of origin of one of the founders of modern perfumery, René Coty.

Baussan designed the perfume bottles and packaging which evoke cakes but also hat boxes.

Hermé said that he realizes that what he went for was to create perfume compositions that you almost wanted to eat.

Technically speaking, he closely art-directed the compositions working with a team of perfumers. As a specialist of taste he obviously had a massive input into the birthing of the fragrances. Suffice it to watch him critique his own pastry work to see how exacting he is. L'Occitane in-house perfumer Karine Dubreuil took a step back for this project, as she did not participate in it.

Jasmin-Immortelle-Neroli is a feminine floral scent with top notes of petit grain, pink peppercorn and lemon leading to a heart of jasmine, Corsican immortelle/everlasting flower, neroli and orange blossom. The base features amber, white woods and musk.

Pamplemousse-Rhubarb is a unisex fruity hesperidic scent. It opens on top notes of grapefruit, rhubarb, lemon and cypress seguing into a heart of clove, nutmeg and lavandin while the base rests on cedarwood and vetiver.

Miel Mandarine is called an hesperidic gourmand. The scent appears in beauty products and not in fine fragrance. Top note is mandarin; heart is Corsican Everlasting and beeswax; base is tonka, benzoin and cistus.

All three fragrances are available in a range of ancillary, makeup and bath and body products.

by: Sandra Raicevic Petrovic

L`Occitane en Provence and Pierre Herme "The Picasso of Pastry", as he is known worldwide, will present three limited collections aimed at the upcoming holidays. The flacons were designed by Olivier Baussan who shaped them like cookies, shaping them in style of L'Occitane brand and previous editions of the house. The new holiday flacons were created in frames of long-lasting friendship of the owner of L'Occitane, designer Olivier Baussan and Pierre Herme, with the intention to highlight the talents of each of them and to include them in this luxurious collection, and that the new limited extraordinary collection also celebrates the skill in creating fragrances and the craftsmanship in baking the best pastry and macaroons.

Three new collections which include EDTs and rich perfumed assortment of accompanying products will be in sales at L'occitane stores starting from October 28^th 2015. Various sets including different products were also prepared, to facilitate the customer’s selection.

Delice des Fruits L`Occitane en Provence Compartilhado

A irmã mais velha de Couture La La Malibu é bem mais madura e deliciosa.A versão do perfume para ambientes é muito boa. As mesmas notas formam uma fragrância diferente em quase tudo menos na fixação e projeção. Aqui sentimos um aroma de suco de frutas cítricas bem açucarado. Apesar de parecer simples na descrição, o aroma é envolvente e atraente. Deixa um rastro bem delineado e não existem muitas mudanças durante toda a vida da composição. Vale a pena!
