My birthday was over a month ago, and my awesome friends
Sheila and
MizzJ gifted me with the L'Occitane Jasmine Immortelle Neroli set. They know I love jasmine and bright, citrusy scents, so this special scent, part of a LE holiday collaboration between L'Occitane and famed pastry chef Pierre Hermé, was a perfect choice.
Because this was a gift, I won't be reviewing it, but this gift set was too pretty to not photograph and share with you guys. It came in a gold hatbox-style package, with a pretty, colourful mottled lid.
Opening the lid for the first time released the most gorgeous scent, because of the combined powers of the products inside (eau de toilette, body lotion, perfumed soap, shower gel). Jasmine Immortelle Neroli is bright with lemon and pink pepper top notes, and heart notes of the eponymous jasmine, immortelle, and neroli.
I love this sunny, luminous fragrance: it's uplifting with the citrus and neroli, but pretty and feminine with the jasmine and honeyed immortelle.
I haven't touched the body products and use the eau de toilette only once and a while; I'm hoarding this precious scent for as long as possible.
