I honestly truly love all L'Occitane product packaging. It is all packaged in a way that seems very country feel-good, and stepping into their shop is always nice. The silver tube with a label that looks handmade (though im sure it's not) is very pretty, definitely something i wouldn't mind whipping out of my bag.





The cream is white, and is thick and creamy. Leaves your hands feeling extremely well moisturized and taken care of, not to mention soft and nicely scented. This is good if you live in a cold country and need to protect your hands from the harsh winter. The cream absorbs in within a minute.



What i love about this cream is also the scent. It smells like lavender essential oil, and when you close your eyes and breathe in deeply you honestly feel like you are lying among hilltops blanketed in lavender in France, the breeze gentle and the stalks of lavender swaying. Yes, the effects of Lavender is indeed calming to one's mind and soul.



The scent is strong, but not overpowering. There was once i used this in my class, and within 30 seconds everyone was turning around and looking around and wondering where the smell was coming from. And many commented that it smelled good :). I didn't expect the smell to reach everyones nostrils.




Retails for $30 SGD. Not cheap for a handcream definitely. you can get this at any L'Occitane store or even online at their website, though that website only applies for USA residents.




Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 hearts. You get what you're paying for and this is definitely the best handcream i've ever used in my life, hands down.
