The Blogger and The Sea



L'Occitane Labdanum

This scent is part of the Voyage En Mediterranean collection at L'Occitane. The collection pairs a specific note with a destination in the Mediterranean from Tuscany to Corsica. Each package features a unique wind rose. This was a graphic tool that was used by sailors to help guide them on their travels. Sailors believed that the wind rose had special powers and protected them on their voyages.

The Labdanam fragrance is a stunning amber. It opens with honeyed citrus fruits and spices. The drydown is amber heaven with a dash of vanilla sprinkled in. The amber note is not as hardcore as Paul & Joe's Bleu or as dirty as Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan. Labdanam has a lighter feel. More sweet and pine-like.

It retails for $66 and is currently at your local L'Occitane store. You can also visit the website at http://usa.loccitane.com/FO/Home.aspx for details.

This has been a lemming since I first heard of it. Now you've made it even worse. I can't wait for it to get to L'Occitane stores here!

Pat: So love your icon/avatar!
This is pretty great. Damn perfect for fall. However...I wish it had longer lasting power.

Tussah: You will sooooooooooooooooo love this. I also received the Mimosa scent. You know how I despise mimosa in general...but this is quite lovely. Review will be soon.
