The evenings here in Cyprus have cooled down slightly but it is still very hot during the day. Rushing round in the Cyprus sun makes us all feel hot and sticky so it is important that when we get the chance to cool down, that we can, and feel cool and refreshed. For ultimate body freshness, I love the L’Occitane Verbena range.
L’OCCITANE EN PROVENCE
If you have not heard of L’Occitane before where have you been?! It is a range inspired by Provence. L’Occitane offers aromatic bath and body treatments, sophisticated fragrances and skincare solutions to help enhance wellbeing and offer a pampering experience from the comfort of our own home.
L’Occitane Verbena Range
The L’Occitane Verbena range really is synonymous with summer and it is a range for all the family and completely unisex.
The verbena range is designed to gently cleanse the skin while leaving it pleasantly scented. I can never be without it during the summer months, it helps me feel refreshed and invigorated.
What Is Verbena and What Does Verbena Smell Like?
Among all the aromatic herbs that grow along the paths of Provence, there is one whose lemony freshness helps revive the body and mind. Its name is Verbena. When baskets are piled high with freshly harvested green verbena leaves, its distinctive fragrance fills the air around the markets of Provence. In Provence, summer time means the beginning of the verbena harvest. On their way to the distillery, freshly picked verbena leaves travel alongside rivers and streams, where their invigorating scent blends with the freshness of running water. It is this herb that has been infused into L’Occitane’s collection which includes fragrances as well as body, hand and hair care.
My Top Verbena Products From The L’Occitane Range
VERBENA SHOWER GEL – Enriched with organic verbena extract from Provence, this shower gel gently cleanses, leaving the body delicately scented with a fresh citrus fragrance of orange and geranium.
VERBENA AGRUMES SHOWER GEL – This is a perfect blend of organic verbena, lemon and grapefruit to heighten the refreshing and awakening experience. This is more of a citrus smelling shower gel and it is my personal favourite.
VERBENA FOAMING BATH – Long cherished for soothing and softening benefits, verbena extract is a wonderful bath additive. L’Occitane scientists blend sun-drenched, organic verbena extract and essential oil with a coconut and palm oil foaming agent to create a silky bubble bath. Scents skin with a light, lemony fragrance and the body feels refreshed and relaxed.
VERBENA BODY LOTION – This fresh, citrus aroma is loved by women and men. A lightweight lotion rich in grapeseed oil, perfect for the summer months and beyond that easily absorbs and nourishes the skin without feeling heavy. This lotion comforts the skin and helps reduce the “tight” or itchy sensation skin often has after showering. The organic extract of verbena helps to calm skin; orange, geranium and lemon tree essential oils contribute to uplifting aroma.
