The almost-daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 16 October 2023 9 Comments

From L'Occitane, the Holiday Hand Trio, with three limited edition fragrances: Shea Butter Sparkling Leaves ("sunny notes of mandarin, olive leaves and ginger in this whipped hand cream"); Powdered Shea Light ("shea pairs with notes of olive tree wood for a fresh powdery, green aroma"); Almond and Flowers ("almond oil unites with luminous notes of olive blossoms and citrus for a lightly floral aroma"). Three x 30 ml, $33 (or $13 each if you buy them separately) at L'Occitane USA.

    I love how the hand lotion feels but they are usually highly fragranced, so much so that my skin itches whenever I think about them.

      They really are highly fragranced. That works well for me if it turns out I really adore the fragrance, but if I’ve made a purchasing mistake, not so much.

    These sound nice, but I can’t use scented lotions on my hands. Drives me nuts. There are other spots they’d work for, though.

      I think some of these are in body lotion too, but not sure which … don’t think the whole collection is on the US website yet.

      The English on the tube says “delicious hands”…”a croquer” can translate to something close to edible or in some usages “pretty enough to eat” etc etc.

    I went online to pick up more Eau de Carotte limited edition fragrance items, and it appears already discontinued in the US. When will I learn to stock up?! L’Occitane is my signature brand, but I hate that their limited editions vary so much worldwide and then offered only just a few months. Their shea lotions are heavenly!
