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.

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.
CONS
None for me.
WILL I REPURCHASE
Yes!
