I love the shampoo & conditioner with olive oil, it's great for my dry hair.

Rasta, I posted it above, the tinyurl.

Sebinah, for somewhere closer, is the charming village of Lourmarin where I stop every year at the beautiful shop of Cote Bastide. It's my favorite Provençal fragrance line. They also sell linens and their own line of pottery

cigalechanta, I didn't see a direct connection, so I just posted the web site I had on my favorites listing.

Please don't tell me where Cote Bastide is, my wife has about a dozen (or more) of their candles and I don't need any more. She's a total candle freak and almost every room and closet in our house will have candle lit. Safe, no! Stubborn wife, yes!

She'll love the shop. It's built in a cave! You can lunch at the Moulin de Lourmarin.

I was always indifferent to their products too but live in Switzerland now and can no longer get Origins skin care products so after trying all different brands walked to the end of my street and was convinced to buy the skin care line for older women. Can't think of the name of it but it is in cobalt blue bottles and had mimosa as an ingredient. Well, I have sun damage from all those lovely years at the beach in the 70's during my youth and even my dermatologist could see a difference in my skin. So I will keep using it and the lavender shampoo, simply because I love the scent. I think Bath & Body Works is cheap junk.

The Locksiton bubble bath I wrote about above is called Royal Jelly, if anyone is interested. I found a bottle whilst looking for my Darvocets yesterday.

I've been using L'Occitane for about 12 years. I personally like their shea butter line as well as their Immortel line. I have been to the factory store a couple of times. Its just a basic l'occitane store with about 10-15 percent off of regular prices. They do also have some seconds and discontinued products at deeper discounts. Seconds might be tubes that were not completely filled or labeling errors. Frankly with the exchange rate as it is there really arent any deals to be had. I havent done the factory tour because I have never been able to be there on the day they do it. They will only do the english tour if they have enough people sign up as well so its a bit of a crap shoot.
