Have someone on your gift list that likes fragrances? Give them pure, natural eau de toilette from L’OCCITANE, and you are giving a beautiful gift they are sure to love! (If you’re wondering, it’s pronounced lox-ee-tan.)

Created by 23-year-old Olivier Baussan, who grew up in Provence, decided to recreate the traditions of his region. After purchasing a steam distiller, a relic from the past, L’OCCITANE products are made from plant ingredients that are effective, as well as respectful of the people who create the products and the environments in which the plants are grown.

L’OCCITANE eau de toilettes are available in Verbena, Eau de Baux (a blend of cypress and incense), Green Tea, Rose, Citrus, and many more. The original L’OCCITANE fragrance (shown in the photo above) contains lavender, blended with the peppery, nutmeg scent of burnt wood. It’s intended for men, but women like it too!

Full-size bottles average around $48, with lower-priced travel sizes also available. Visit the L’OCCITANE homepage for more information on the fragrances and how to purchase them.
