L’Occitane L’Arlésienne Beautifying Powder

L’Arlésienne is the latest fine fragrance from the Provençale brand, drawing inspiration from the town of Arles, in the South of France. It’s a swirl of rose, soft violet and saffron flower (all of which flourish there), and pretty perfect for the party season – but we’ve a favourite way to wear - as this shimmering powder. (There are quite a few ‘layerable’ options in the collection, NB.)

Puff! It mists skin with the delicious floral scent.

Pooff! Skin’s also veiled in a delicious, subtle gold shimmer, making this beautiful for the décolletage or forearms.

Ping! (That’s a sort of fairy-wand ping, incidentally), denoting a definite gold star for a gorgeous gilded body treat, from us.
