L’Occitane

I would live in here if I could! The products are beautiful and the staff seem to know everything there is to know about the products so you leave feeling like you have the right product for your skin. There always seems to be offers on which are really good value and I’ve never bought anything I haven’t been happy with. In terms of price, the products are on the more expensive side but they are such high quality that you really feel like you are getting value for your money. Also, the online ordering system is fantastic. Delivery is really fast and is packaged beautifully. Amazing, highly recommend!

I don’t understand how people can justify spending so much on such frivolities, but saying that I bought a Christmas present here recently. The shop is small enough but is stocked to the brim with cosmetics. The staff members are extremely helpful and offer either tea or wine. The only thing that lets this place down are the the prices, which in my opinion are extortionate.

I would just like to write a review to thank the amazing girls in L’Occitane on Wicklow street. Not alone are the products so luxurious (I love love love them) but the friendly staff seam to know absolutely everything about them. I am getting ready for my wedding soon and wanted to pick out some special products to use on the day. I didn’t want anything to over powering in fragrance which i find a lot of other products can be. But the staff really helped me decide on the perfect fragrance for me. I ended up getting almost the complete Cherry Blossom range. It is so subtle and light and it will be just perfect for a nice hot bath to de-​stress the night before. Also for the day itself it is a beautiful feminine soft fragrance which will hopefully remind me of my wedding day for years to come.
The experience in the shop itself was second to none. I really felt like royalty, As I waltzed around sniffing each bottle of lotion and potion a member of staff came up and offered to help with my search i spent the best part of an hour listening and talking to her. She even offered me a free hand mask with hand message. Which was lovely the Shea hand cream is just Devinne.
Thanks a lot girls for a wonderful experience and taking a little of the wedding tension out of my life.

The stuff they sell here is as good as it gets for skincare. Their shaving soap in particular is really REALLY good. I’ve tried a lot of different brands and for anyone that likes to use a soap bowl and brush for a good clean shave this stuff is the gear.
Stepping into the shops themselves are a great experience. Imagine Willy-Wonka’s cosmetics factory. Lots of samplers of the products and really helpful staff who have a disturbingly detailed knowledge of L’Occintane’s product range. It makes you worry for their social skills when they can list off every product in the shop that contains Shea Butter. Speaking of which the Shea Butter After Shave Balm is another necessity for anyone who’s skin needs some help after a shave.

L’Occitane is french, posh and slightly expensive so I really shouldn’t be liking this place but I do. It smells like heaven and I like to think of it as a more grown-​up and posh version of the Body Shop. Not only can you get basic– in the sense of glitter-​free– soap here but all kinds of serums and lotions and potions. The staff don’t jump you as soon as you walk in through the door but leave you to explore the lovely products all by yourself. The hand cream for dry skin is amazing and I love the Almond-​serum for wobbly bits as well. This is the kind of shop that makes you feel sophisticated and womanly as opposed to girly. I love it!

I hear L’Occitane. Their lavender hand cream is a must-​have in my handbag. I wouldn’t go anywhere without it! In fact, all of their products are pretty great.
The shops are so cute too — really simple and come across as kind of ‘natural’.
One question though… does anyone know how to pronounce the name properly? If anyone who has decent French can give me a phonetic way of pronouncing it I’d be very grateful!

Oh how I love this place and how it makes me feel all posh and serene and French like. The smell in these stores is divine and only matched by the actual smell of their products.
They really make some fabulous skin care items and soaps! I cannot believe I have said that but yes they make lovely soaps!
Their products are great for sensitive skin and feel really really great on the skin and you can feel them making you instantly prettier!
They do the best facial sun cream on the market! Absolutely great!

I’m big on skin care, it is my only selfish luxury, that and booze, so I treat my skin to try and find a balance for all the goodness I took out the night before.
A friend introduced me to this place because I just felt I needed something kinder and natural.
You just want to eat the place when you go in, everything smells so good, it’s smelly over load!
Some may think it’s pricey, I dunno, can you really put a price on the health of your skin? It’s not exorbitant and they do have offers on anytime I’ve been.
The girl I dealt with was great and she really took the time to suit my skin up with the right moisturiser.
