L'Occitane makes the best low cost, well-nuanced complex scents...

From after shave like L'Occitane Cade to colognes like 4 Voleurs, L'Occitan, Vetyver. Now if they would just keep them in their offerings instead of cancelling them. Most of those sold for less than $50.00 and are remarkable in their formulation.

I concur

I tried L'Occitan by L'Occitan and was very impressed by this scent.
I did not like Eau de Baux but that's personal preference.

I agree with your statement re the house of LOCCITANE!

LOVE their vetyver

So do I, good stuff.

I was given L'Occitan, Vetyver and Badian, of which my favourite is vetyver.

Other than L'Occitan which is the signature range, L'Occitane only run their colognes for a few years as they are continously bringing out new ones.

I agree about Eau des Baux. I find it very sickly.

I've only got Eau de L'Occitan and Eau de Baux, but I think they are both very good for the price

I need to try something besides the L'Occitane Vetyver which I found entirely too powdery. My least favorite vetiver, and I have at least a dozen.

Interesting, the vetiver is what I like, and I usually do not like vetivers. The cedar edp is great too.

I have a nice stash of 4 Voleurs that will last me a few years, however I am not impressed by Verdon....

I like them all, and the pricing is terrific. My least favorite is Eau de Baux, but every time I use it Mrs. Jazzman tells me I smell good. So I guess that stays in the rotation!

Me, too. They do a very good job across the board and are well-priced.

Went back and got another sniff at L'Occitan by L'Occitan and was less impressed this time. Too much black pepper going on. I found this same problem with Opus 1870. I don't think lots of black pepper in my frags. I also think it makes me sneeze.

+1 Excellent stuff, very good value for money.

Interesting that you say that. I went to that store the other day and for the life of me i couldnt smell the shaving cream (Cade) for anything. Apparently theres jasmine in it which does something to the skin.

their shaving stuff is very lightly scented.

I love their Vetyver and (sigh) 4 Voleurs.

I may need to give Eau des Baux another try.

Certainly agree with the if they would only keep them in production comment. Amber was wonderful! And now it is gone!!!

It's back!

I went and gave L'Occitane, Vetyver and Eau des Baux a sniff yesterday. They smelled nice but none of them smelled nice enough for me to want to buy them.

I almost picked up a puck of Cade, but I've read less than stellar reviews of it, so I saved my money there.
