Yeee! It's that time of year again. Have booked summer holiday. Am so excited. Thoughts now turn to which soap to take. Love the milk soap. But on hols sometimes a lavender or lemon verbena soap is nice. Which l'occitane do you like, and why? I think the milk / shea butter has to be my favourite. I love the fragrance. It's just really....nice. It makes me think of Chiswick, of summer and being happy. I just love the scent. The liquid version doesn't evoke the same feeling.
Which l'Occitane soap is your favourite?

I like the almond one with the prickly bits in.

I've never forgiven them for discontinuing the fig....
I haven't tried that one. I like anything almondy so might give it a go. I would buy a set off QVC but I'd probably get honeysuckle or some other ghastly fragrance included. Am very selective!

I love using it around my ankles probably best to avoid any sensitive areas. I got it in a TSV and then another in the L'occ shop with it own little purpose made soap dish.

My fave L'Occitane soap is Fleur Cherie, not just because of the smell (my fave EDT) but it has a lovely texture too. Also like shea Milk and Shea Verbena. Not that keen on the Bonne Mere ones but will use them up. Want to try the Grasse ones next.

What exactly do the bonne mere ones smell like? "Good mother" doesn't conjure up any ideas to me at all!

They do various scents Julius. I am using the Linden blossom one at the mo, and have a lavender and a milk one in reserve. They are OK, last a long time but not as good as the Shea ones IMO.
They sound OK. Linden should be nice if it is what I am thinking of. I don't know the English word for it but in French it's "tilleul." The smell of tilleuls always reminds me of my university which had tilleul trees outside near the metro station.

Tilleil is lime tree or linden tree in English. We had them at my Belgian boarding school. I now live near a road called Lime avenue and always walk down there in May when the trees are flowering. At school huge may bugs used to drop out of the trees and scare me.

I haven't used mine yet lol...just like inhaling it lol
May bugs! Yes. I know those! They are like big cockroaches. They don't bite but they do give a painful pinch. Paprastis grambuloys in Lithuanian. Can't think what they call them in French. Tilleul / linden / lime tree is a nice scent though. I would definitely buy that one.
Unfortunately the Linden soap by L'Occitane was discontinued recently and I don't think it's available on their website or in their shops any more.
It is still available in one of the assorted packs available on QVC though - item number 207395.
