When I was in Paris all the L’Occitane shops I passed had window displays of these gorgeous Colognes realised this month. There are 3 colognes in the range, one for females one that is unisex and one for males. Coming in two sizes a travel size 50ml (£21) and a 300ml (£37) there is something for everyone at any time.
Eau Captivante for men is recognisable from the green packaging.
This is the first one that arrived on my doorstep and both me and my Mum agreed although is was labelled as one of the men, it was still a very nice fragrance that both of us could be around. It contains top notes of Bergamot and lime, heart notes of mint and basil and base of lavender and woody notes. Ash isn’t one for anything other than a spray of lynx in the morning but even he has decided he would wear this and ran off with it when I offered it to him. The travel size as you can see comes complete with a spray, making it easy and simple to use.
Eau Universelle is the unisex fragrance and is distinguished being yellow.
I’m loving the packaging, as a big lover of the Art Deco era, these fit perfectly with me, from the glass bottle with like a herringbone design to the famous font used in the writing.
I like the product too, the Ladies one sounds like something I’d wear, not over powerful ,but enough to know you are wearing it an hour or three after your put it on.
Thats the problem with some perfumes they just don’t last on my skin – no idea if that goes for anyone else but be interest to know.
I always thought perfumes didn’t last on me, but I’ve had complements long after I thought it had worn off so I’m not sure if with me at least it’s just more of being used to the scent. Some though last for a long time – I can never work out what causes the difference though. x
Bergamot and Grapefruit sounds like a lovely combination
I generally like unisex fragrances as they are usually a bit citrussy.
I’m not sure I would be drawn to these fragrances if I saw them on the shelf in duty free. The box is quite plain and the bottle looks a bit cheap (sorry!) Not sure if the female fragrence is really as pink as it shows in the picture but if so then it looks more like a mouthwash than a fragrance. I’d have to be careful not to gargle with it by mistake when I stagger into the bathroom
