Review
As well as needing this product from colouring my hair, day 13 kicked this calendar in for me.
As well as it looking like a dolls house it reminds me of being little and playing with the Spa Boutique Hotel I created for Sindy.
My Aunty bought us a wooden ranch house for Sindy as all I had was the sink ~ so I made it into a spa chalet in Switzerland.
She had sample products and perfumes and the sink to have treatments.
Love this Calendar!!!!

A fresh, clean body wash loved equally by men and women. Each squeeze of this shower gel releases the crisp, citrus scent of L’OCCITANE verbena. Essential oils of verbena, orange, geranium and lemon tree smooth and nurture even the most sensitive skin, and permeate the room with a winning aroma.
Looking forward to trying this as lemon lifts peoples spirits in countries with cold dark winters.
My room was fragranced with lemongrass the other day and it definately worked.
I personally prefer this as it is a gel format.
Review
Really like this, reminds me of growing lemon balm. I really liked that but wasn’t sure what you did with it.
Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a fragrant, lemony herb from the mint family, popular for calming anxiety, improving sleep, aiding digestion, and soothing cold sores, made into teas, syrups, or added fresh to dishes; it’s easy to grow but can be invasive, so pots are recommended, and it has antiviral properties.
Uses & Benefits
- Culinary: Adds fresh, citrusy flavor to teas, cocktails, salads, soups, and desserts.
- Medicinal: Known for soothing stress, anxiety, and insomnia; may help with menstrual cramps and cold sores (due to antiviral properties).
- Aromatic: Used in baths or as a strewing herb for a calming scent.
How to Grow
- Conditions: Prefers sun to partial shade and moist, fertile soil.
- Growth Habit: Hardy perennial, spreads vigorously, so grow in pots to contain it.
- Harvest: Best harvested just before flowering for peak flavor.
How to Use Fresh
- Tea: Steep leaves in hot water.
- Drinks: Muddle into summer drinks like Pimms or add to cocktails.
- Food: Chop into salads or fruit salads.
So much easier with the internet.
Gone off at a tangent.
The point being the Verbena in this product is:
I couldn’t help think of buisness ideas when growing herbs as a student.
L’Octtaine is obviously a very successful herb buisness.
This calendar just keeps getting better.
Very inspirational.
Inspires me to keep my dream of a herb garden one day.
Looking forward to my Christmas present now.

With its fresh, zingy scent and lightweight texture, our Verbena Body Lotion leaves skin feeling smooth and moisturised. It’s a light, non-greasy moisturiser which is quickly absorbed. A morning favourite, it leaves skin ready for quick dressing with a sublimely refreshing smell that energises you for the day ahead.
The subtle verbena scent is aromatic and fresh , instantly conveying you to sunny Provençal market towns where the herb is piled into wicker baskets and sold by the bundle. Prized for more than its revitalising aroma , verbena is said to have medicinal and mood-boosting properties .
The lotion is rich in grapeseed oil, a sumptuous natural moisturiser full of antioxidant VITAMIN E and nourishing omega-6 fatty acids. VITAMIN E keeps skin looking plumped up and youthful, restoring lost moisture to replenish the skin.
Pressed from the seeds of grapes, this oil conjures up images of the vineyards which have stretched across the landscape of Provence for centuries. The barest suggestion of the region’s lightly blushing rosĂ© and deeply spiced red wines add to the luxurious experience of smoothing on this nourishing body lotion.
How to useClose How to use
Apply a small quantity of the product on clean hands. Massage into the skin with slow, circular movements.
Review
I’m now a convert to Yellow and citrus in Dark, Cold Wintertime. Love this fragrance and product ~ just need to workout which fitness guru it is going to sponsor in 2026 lol!!!
Have to say this calendar is helping me get my head around sustainability too.
It frightened me before because I’m a slow learner; ignorance through learning disabilities can be frightening as people like me get left behind and feel isolated which can become more than what it actually is.
Whoever has designed this product has used sustainability design I feel comfortable with.
It has eased me into the concept slowly and given me a calm environment to learn in.
If this sounds silly to you it isn’t silly if you are like me.
Conclusion
Really pleased with this calendar so far.
Have decided to do challenges with the products throughout 2026, then review and purchase my favourites.
Almost used the foot cream up but will write that one up too.
Feel really lucky to of received this calendar as never had anything this lovely before.
Want to keep the box as it is drawn so well but not sure you are supposed to lol!!!
Don’t want to get to the end but I suppose it is christmas day and then we get our christmas presents.
Thankyou L’Occitane.
