The Scene
Step into this homey yet refined spot, and the subtle scents of luscious products immediately soothe the senses. And if you think the whole place feels as if it's been dipped in honey, that's no accident; the honeycomb theme is reflected on the product packaging, the color of the walls and the sweet but unobtrusive staff. Testers and samples make the fragrances, bath and body goodies, candles and sun care products easily accessible to noses and hands.

The Goods
Authentic, high-quality products imported from France are available for individual purchase or in gift-ready packages that are precious and unique. Signature lines--Olive, Verbena, Lavender or Honey--come in a variety of soothing salves and fragrant lotions, including moisturizers, soaps and scents. Men's skin care needs are not overlooked, thanks to L'Occitane's exquisitely packaged cleansers, cologne and all the shaving supplies a guy could need.
