News L’Occitane By Masha Salko - August 5, 2014 FacebookTwitterPinterestWhatsApp Since 1976, the fragrant creations of L’OCCITANE have been inspired directly by the olfactory territory of Provence. Simplicity has always been key. By introducing new interpretations of verbena through limited-edition fragrances, L’OCCITANE truly is the perfumer-storyteller of Provence… Every collection is like a new season, a breath of summer, a harvest journal, a memory of verbena. Rémy Margiela is a producer of organic verbena, based in Visan. After harvesting his plants, he takes the freshly cut bundles to the drying room. Here they will stay for a while, before the next step in their journey: the distillery. At the heart of summer, these generous bunches of verbena are saturated with fragrant essences. As they dry naturally, they release their green, citrus scents, filling the atmosphere with beautiful lemony aromas. The air, wet with droplets of moisture from nearby rivers and streams, carries the invigorating notes of the Herb of Venus. The scent of verbena floats on the ripples of the water… As soon as summer beckons, who can resist the temptation to dive head first into the scents of a citrusy note so rich in contradictions? FRISSON DE VERVEINE The new limited-edition fragrance from L’OCCITANE. Both invigorating and beneficial, it seems to invite citrus fruits, freshly cut green leaves and water fruits to bathe in the waters of the rivers… Here comes the sun… When the sun is too intense, you need a spot in the shade. The unisex scent of Frisson de Verveine lets you soak up freshness when you no longer want to soak up the sun… DESIGNED FOR Men or women KEY RAW MATERIAL Organic verbena extract from Provence FAMILY Aqueous citrus BOTTLE The Frisson de Verveine fragrance is as pure as the clear river water.
