Arlésienne Velvet Hand Cream by L’occitane

Hello beauties! Hand creams are very important for me as I wash my hands quite often and it is my saviour in dry winter months. I keep hand cream in my handbag as well and I always bring it out to apply throughout the day as I wash my hands a lot even when I am out.  In today’s post, I will review Arlésienne Velvet Hand Cream by L’occitane. Also check out TERRE DE LUMIERE HAND CREAM. 

A hand cream delicately fragranced with the trio of Provençal flowers that lies at the heart of Arlésienne: rose, violet and saffron. Enriched with shea butter, this cream helps to nourish and soften the hands, leaving behind a velvety veil of scent with interlaced notes of Grasse rose, violet and saffron from Provence. Symbolic of the beauty of Provence, these three flowers reveal many facets: soft, bold and impetuous. THE FRAGRANCE Absolutely floral and boldly feminine.

PACKAGING

It comes in a classic tube packaging with a red-coloured screw-on cap. This tube packaging is travel friendly.

FRAGRANCE

Absolutely floral and boldly feminine. The fragrance opens with radiant notes of bergamot, which contrast with the spicy facets of saffron. Grasse rose and violet from Provence gradually reveal tender honeyed notes, then an irresistible powdery scent. White musk and sandalwood give a smooth sensuality to this accord.

FINAL THOUGHTS

I bought one hand cream from the brand earlier and loved it so I bought this one for myself again because it smells so great. It’s very soothing on the skin. It is a bit thick in consistency but it soaks well into the skin. This is a beautiful hand cream that leaves your skin hydrated and very soft. It has a light floral scent that lingers, and we need only a small amount of the hand cream for each hand, as the cream is quite thick. I love this hand cream. It is not sticky, and it doesn’t make the hands greasy/oily and moisturise them. Don’t expect this cream to be good for moisturizing parched hands though. Arlésienne Velvet Hand Cream also has a gorgeous floral scent that really smells so divine.

  2. Makes hands soft.

CONS
