L’Occitane Vetiver Wood Soap
Hey Ladies,
Hope your week is going great. A couple of weeks ago, I made a huge haul at L’Occitane and that included plenty of soaps 🙂 The fragrance when we walked in the store was so calming and exciting at the same time, we HAD to get them 🙂 If you have been to a L’Occitane store, you know what I mean, right? I did pick a lot of things from there, but I am very excited about the soaps 🙂
Product Description:
The Vetiver Wood Soap is a daily cleanser for the hands and body. This sizable 5.3 ounce bar of soap is long-lasting, its pebble shape fitting conveniently into the hand. When applied with water, it produces a smooth foam that gently cleanses the skin without drying. Pleasantly fragranced with vetiver, the soap leaves behind a refreshing scent with notes of leather and musk.
Size:
5.2 oz for $10.
Ingredients:
Sodium Palmate, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Aqua, Glycerin, Sorbitol, Parfum, Palm Kernel Acid, Vetiveria Zizanoides Root Oil, Sodium Chloride, Decyl Glucoside, Palm Acid, Mica, Propylene Glycol, Potassium Palm Kernelate, Potassium Palmate, Pentasodium Penetate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Limonene, Linalool, Coumarin, Eugenol, Benzyl Benzoate, CI 77891 / Titanium Dioxide, CI 77491 / CI 77492 / CI 77499 / Iron Oxides.
My Experience with L’Occitane Vetiver Wood Soap:
This actually is a soap marketed for men and has a nice woody smell to it, very very alluring 🙂 It smells a lot similar to sandalwood, so even I was attracted to it 🙂 Hubby loved it and asked me to stay away. He said “you have so much other stuff – steer clear of my soap :P:P:P,” but I did use it when he was at work :happydance: and even I loved it. It lathers well and is big enough, so it lasts long 🙂 Also, do you notice in a lot of “fragrant” soaps, where the scent lasts only for the first use and then its just a rough soap bar, not in this case. I guess they put a lot of scented oils in this, so after every use, my bathroom is filled with a delightful woody aroma, which is very very irresistible. It can cause you to beg your guy to not go to work! :preen:
Pros of L’Occitane Vetiver Wood Soap:
- The smell, ahhhhhhhh.
- Although its marketed for men, even women can use it 🙂
- Its huge, will last for a long time.
- No sulfates/silicones, SLS.
Cons of L’Occitane Vetiver Wood Soap:
- As it is a soap, can be a bit drying, but a normal body lotion can take care of that.
- The cost is a bit high.
Verdict:
This is an excellent gift idea for the guy in your life. Actually, if you like sandalwood kind of smell, this is a great buy 🙂
