L'OCCITANE EN PROVENCE NÉROLI & ORCHIDÉE LAIT PARFUME BODY MILK & HUILE PARFUMÉE BODY OIL

One of the best known practitioners of body skin care rituals undoubtedly was Cleopatra. Her recipes, after more than 2000 years, by virtue of quality and efficiency surpasses many of today's cosmetic products. She laid the foundations that were followed by numerous famous ladies and in whose fruitage we continue to regale. What has changed is the wide variety of different preparations on the market, as well as the fact that body care procedure can be implemented in the comfort of our own home. I could say that at the end of each day I perform my personal ritual, during which I utilize L'Occitane En Provence Néroli & Orchidée Lait Parfume Body Milk and Huile Parfumée Body Oil.

L'Occitane… The journey begins at Provencal market. Equipped with optimism, pickup truck and the lore on plants, 23-year old Olivier Baussan ventured into processing of rosemary oil. At first it was sold locally and that was the outset for a successful story. Expanding the production on soaps and creams inspired by the country where he grew up, his desire was to introduce natural products to homes around the world. Nowadays L'Occitane is globally renowned brand that in its headquarters, in the town of Manosque, has 11 laboratories in which more than 100 scientists are actively exploring and developing new powerful formulas for our and the well-being of the planet we live on.

It is pointed out from L'Occitane that observation of nature is key factor in the production of effective preparations. Apart from using natural ingredients, and being involved in several ecological projects, they are highly conscious and environmentally oriented. They started cooperation with International Union for Conservation of Nature, with the aim of limiting the impact on the environment on every stage of consecution, from creation of formulas to final distribution. That's why new L'Occitane En Provence products contains 89% of natural components, and in the period from 2014. to 2016. they reduced their „carbon footprint“ by 14%. For those who may not know, carbon footprint is the amount of carbon-dioxide released in atmosphere as a result of certain actions by an individual, community or organization. L'Occitane also supports a number of regional programs to preserve natural treasures of the Mediterranean and to ensure abidance to the charter for harvesting wild plants and the protection of natural ambiance. It's relevant to note that their products, active ingredients and raw material at any phase of evolution and manufacture haven't been tested on animals. Furthermore, they're a part of international framework of charities, while L'Occitane trust fund from 2006. operates in two areas: helping blind and purblind persons world widely and assisting women from Burkina Faso to attain economical independence. It makes me very happy when I hear that major brands with their management are influencing on the awakening of awareness of the importance of nature preservation, providing for those in need and with their example showing and inviting people to participate more actively. As their motto and what gives them strength, significance and purpose, they cite the intent to maintain Provencal tradition, intact nature and knowledge to convey to future generations.

Personally I adore L'Occitane products and so far I haven't experienced any which I didn't like. I wouldn't be able to single out the collection that I favor, because each of them, from formula, fragrance to effect on the skin, equally delights me with its quality and separate plant or ingredient basis. Some of them are almond, rose, cherry blossom, shea butter, lavender, peony, immortelle and lemon verbena. Present articles comes from Néroli & Orchidée assortment for which on the official site is graphically claimed that portray encounter of two invaluable essences that can be found in the town of Grasse. Orange blossom grows in this realm, while orchid enacts the whiff of distant lands, engirdled within extraordinarily feminine scent. First emerging impression is freshness of spicy orange tinge, but behind that innocent prelude lies the true richness and saturated aspect of playful tones of orange blossom, and the arrangement itself is elegantly accentuated by the presence of white orchid. With creamy and fruity notes that recapitulate its quiddity, the aroma warmly and sensuosly diffuses on a delicate basis of musk and iris. In addition to body milk and oil, the collection contains perfume, scented shower gel and hand cream.

I decided for Néroli & Orchidée Lait Parfume Body Milk, a body milk whose light and refreshing formula with deep hydration and gentle, refined aromatization is ideal for everyday body care. Accordance of essences of Mediterranean orange blossoms and comprehensiveness of white orchids of Madagascar veil the skin with harmonious floral-fruity chords. The fragrance that remains on the body for hours is pure perfection, so beautiful that no perfume is required at all.

The texture is creamy, easy to smear and quick absorbing, suitable for summer days. I'm a fan of products that doesn't take long to soak up, because I don't like to wait too much before getting dressed, and this is one of the main features of this milk and a reason why I employing it the whole summer, enjoying immensely in its benefits – upon application the skin is soft, silky smooth and fragrant for hours. I tried the milk after sunbathing too, where it demonstrated another remarkable virtue in regard to moisturizing and nourishment.

Besides body milk I use Néroli & Orchidée Huile Parfumée Body Oil. This perfumed oil sustain the skin cultivation and produce fine finish endowed with alluring and mesmerizing scent, born out of genteel union of orange blossom and orchid. I engage milk and oil alternately and the effects on the skin are identical. It behoove me greatly to use it at night, before going out, because it nicely emphasizes skin complexion and induce a wonderful satin glow. I suppose that they in L'Occitane, due to the same achievements and in relation to customers preferences, devised body milk and oil as a complement to shower gel.

I am elated with these items convenient for all seasons, and as soon I deplete them I will surely buy new ones. If you want to embower your body with charming, scented tune of two precious white flowers, inevitably sample L'Occitane skin milk and oil.
