Terre de Lumière

5ml eau de parfum

FAMILY: GOURMAND
TOP NOTES: bergamot, ambrette seed, pink pepper
HEART NOTES: lavender honey
BASE NOTES: acacia flower, bitter almond essence, tonka bean, white musk

Zesty and aromatic at first, this signature fragrance unexpectedly melts into an infinitely gourmand heart, before settling into sensual balsamic and musky base notes. The sparkling aromas of the top notes are reminiscent of the first sensations awakened during a walk in Provence.

These fresh bursts are like a light breeze, followed by the soothing power of sunlight on the skin, when the gourmand notes unfold in an uplifting moment of pleasure just before the intensity of dusk. In this addictive fragrance, the contrasts of Provence are captured in an unexpected paradox: the encounter between an aromatic facet and a gourmand heart, making Terre de Lumière the first gourmand-aromatic fragrance in L'Occitane's scented portfolio..

Columbia Rose

2ml eau de parfum

FAMILY: FLORIENTAL
TOP NOTES: rose
HEART NOTES: Damask rose, violet, clove bud
BASE NOTES: patchouli, sandalwood, amber, musk
Columbia Rose is a rich, dark and velvety rose fragrance created by award-winning perfumer Angela Flanders. It blooms with an exquisitely opulent bouquet of dusky and luscious crimson roses, suffused with an audacious whisper of elusive violet.

The heart of Columbia Rose belongs to sensual layers of resinous ambers, yielding to velvet textured sandalwood, before surrendering to a seductive base of rakishly aged patchouli. A characterful and passionate rose which invites you to explore the depths of its raw beauty with abandon… Mysterious, definite and a just a little edgy, Columbia Rose seeks inspiration from the place Flanders fell in love with over 30 years ago on the now famous Columbia Road Flower Market in East London, where her perfumery has been a fragrant jewel ever since.
