I am definitely one for luxurious body products so maybe I was a wee bit biased when I first set eyes on two of the products from L’Occitane en Provence’s Verveine Agrumes collection it was love at first sight. But it only got better from there!
The products that I have been using are the Fresh Shampoo and Fresh Body Milk. Fresh is the perfect word to describe this citrus scent; combining organic Verbena from Provence and grapefruit and lemon from the Mediterranean crushed with lemony leaves. The neat thing about this scent is that I find it changes slowly the longer you smell it. You start noticing undertones of different ingredients that you did not initially pick up at first. The results are an exhilarating, zesty blend!
What I was really impressed with in the shampoo is that it only took a small amount to work into a gracious lather for my entire head. Now, I do not say this loosely, as I have very thick hair and it is not often that I am able to say this about a product! It left my hair clean, shiny, freshly scented and it was very soothing to my scalp.
The body milk was equally as pampering and absorbed quickly into my skin. It moisturized without leaving a greasy residue behind. This is definitely something to use on a daily basis.
Oh – and the packaging, it makes me feel like I am in a spa while I am simply at home. This new line is pampering at its best and does not disappoint, with the quality that I have come to expect from this brand.
I do feel a little bit spoiled now, and I am trying to resist the urge to wash my hair again– so soon after the last time. Hmm, but maybe I can immerse myself in the body milk, close my eyes and dream of Provence and the Mediterranean?
Yes, and maybe some lemon water? That would be simply delightful!
I am so in love with L’Occitane en Provence’s fragrances. When I went home for Christmas I racked up on a few of their signature fragrances. I was so happy and excited. When I returned to my hometown I started using them straight away. I immediately broke out into an itchy red rash everywhere the fragrance touched. I was so so so hurt, upset, and disappointed to learn that I was allergic. I am not sure to what, because I thought they used natural ingredients. I know you smell lovely in your L’Occitane en Provence’s fragrance. Oh how I wish I could wear mine!!! (tears)
Awwe that’s too bad to hear! Natural doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t have a reaction to something! You can be allergic to anything!
Oh, sounds like I would love this dual product too! Thank you for this review!

You probably will, the smell so lovely!
Mmmmm this sounds really lovely! I’ve only ever tried L’Occitane’s hand lotion but it sounds like I need to try some more of their products.
Jodi, you MUST! they have such pretty looking AND smelling products
These sound really nice! I like L’Occitane but I’ve never tried their shampoo or body milk, it sounds like I need to!

I think it’s a must try
You’re so lucky to have thick hair, i’m kinda jealous right now :))
But yes, some of the L’Occitane products are really good and they smell amazing. Now i want to look for the body milk, i have waaaay to many shampoos :)))
Haha people who have thick hair want thinner hair and vice versa
I love L’Occitane. I’ve been using their hand creams for years now. Best out there. Recently I was sent their 5 oils shampoo and conditioner samples to test and except for scent I loved how my hair felt and look afterwards. I may need to look at these instead if they have a citrus scent
thanks for sharing !! Xx
Their creams are the BEST! Oooh those sound lovely!
Nothing better than a spa experience at home.
I agree!!!
I sniffed these at one of the stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth airport a couple of weeks ago, and they smell fabulous! I love citrus scented body products, yum
Me too – especially when our summers are so short! They make me happy!
