L'Occitane's limited edition summer collection is as energising as it is soothing

In summer, we love surrounding ourselves with light and refreshing scents – not too overpowering, but with the lasting power to see us through our summer evenings of socialising. We’re all about fresh, citrusy scents that awaken the senses and leave us feeling – and smelling – amazing.

Which is why it’s so exciting to see L’Occtiane’s new summer collection of limited-edition verbena products! This collection captures the essence of summer in four amazing scents that will have you keeping cool in the summer heat. Verbena is a citrus, green and woody scent, making it as energising, as it is soothing and this summer, L’Occitane have created four ranges of refreshing Verbena textures and scents for you to explore – and we’ve picked out our favourites from among the bunch:
