Not a fan of the Shower Oil, so my money is safe.

Almond again.......

Apart from the mist it is very similar to the TSV from last Summer which had the bar of soap and is still unused. I also haven’t opened the almond refill. I must use up what I have before replenishing bath products.

An easy NO for me.

An easy NO for me.

Same here, so over L'occitane.

Finally using up my stash of old L'occitane soaps. Have to say they do lather up well.

I cannot remember the last L'Occtiane I bought, never mind a TSV. Now I did find in a drawer a bar of their soap which was given to me. Lathered great and lasted a good while too.

I love L'occitane but have loads of Almond products still. Just started using the 1 litre with the pump in the white bottle from years and years ago. So its a no!

I bought the special deal just before Christmas, which contained no liquid soap thank goodness as it dries my hands badly. I live the original body lotion, although the bad pump is notorious…
I don’t feel safe with their shower oil, and it’s not the cheapest product…

I’m quite surprised to read that all their stores in Russia are still operating by changing the name now written in Cyrillic, that means that L’Occitane no longer operates on paper but all of the 112 stores remain open and the products they sell are exactly the same.

 

[Mazza]

Wow. I thought they had left! Cheeky gits. I was considering lifting my ban on the hand cream but can’t buy it if they are still in Russia. I read an article the other week which exposed Paul Smith and Rolls Royce as being open in Moscow. What is wrong with these companies?

I spotted on the Molton Brown online what I took to be a new range of Dark Leather. So wandered in my local store and asked about it. Seems it is not new but Russian Leather renamed, they thought it insensitive to have a ranged called Russian.

One word .. Ukraine .. I can’t forget it .
Love their soap but no more .. sickeningly slow to pull out of Russia and only did so due to public pressure I bet

 

[maymorganlondon]

I believe it's more complicated due to Russian regulator rules. The potential losses are prohibitive.
Frustrating, but shareholders and financial markets have a role in this, not just the brands. Also it needs international governments to think about sanctioning businesses doing business in Russia in the same way the United States sanctions companies that do business with Cuba. They won't do it due to the sheer size and value of the Russian market.
I saw a Financial Times article about Philip Morris (one of the massive tobacco companies)... the cost of quitting the Russian market can be eyewatering.
I didn't track it down, but this article gives an idea of it: https://www.fool.com/investing/2023...lcontent&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=article

I think most of the sanctions are very leaky with lots of loopholes being exploited; which is why early predictions of a total collapse of the Russian economy were significantly short of the mark. The collateral damage of the war on Western economies in particular would likely be even worse if the sanctions were tightened, and in the face of that level of hardship, what would happen to international and public support for Ukraine?
