L'Occitane TSV 16/11/24

[ohnonotshoppingagain]

In years gone, I have bought L'Ocitaine but it's appeal escapes me so I won't buy.

Fabulous one cherry blossom and a Neroli to sift and gift. Oooooo and the almond.

My brother bought me a L’Occitane gift box for Christmas last year (I suspect his daughters ‘helped’ him !). They gave a store in our town centre. I loved the shea shower cream, surprisingly nice and gentle fragrance. Not one I would have chosen as I like my Smellies to have a definite smell, but it’s very nice.

Looking at the Almond contents there is not much Almond products in it. Gone is the 500ml Almond oil with a refill pouch.

Mostly water as the main component I would guess

They still do the refill

It’s getting so much easier not to buy stuff now.

Not so long ago all tsvs that were "beauty" regularly had a price point of around £39 for years, now its another 20 quid on top plus pp. Jog on !

I can't believe the price of this TSV. Its making each product £15 which isn't a "value" deal in my opinion. You can always find Loccitane with 20/25% off on the highstreet and get exactly what you want. Also seen some great offers in outlets. Always bought the Christmas TSV but just does represent good value anymore. I think the £40/50 TSV days are now gone sadly.

Most Beauty TSVs are far too pricey nowadays - where’s the value?

I think now more than ever you’ve really got to know your prices. And know where you can get it from at the best price. And the prices QVC quote are often the highest you would ever pay.

Spot on. In those days I would buy sets (decent size & mix of products) around that price for my 5 nieces & nieces-in-law, as a value option instead of wine/chocs/candles etc.

Now I’m looking at £70 - £80 per set with uninspiring products, padded out with shower cream etc.

This year I’ve bought them all the M&S advent calendar.
(Generous but this is the last time I will be “gifting” - they’ve got 8 kids of 8 months to 11 years between them who cost me a fortune )

Well I’ve Nanny McFailed! I got the Cherry one because I love that fragrance and haven’t had it in so long. For once there isn’t a filler product for me either as I’m a big fan of their hand stuff. What a pity they changed from the usual lavender and verbena options, my money would have been safe then, . Oh well, Christmas present for me then I guess!

The issue is they have gone up and the value has gone down. Very disappointing.

Same here,, always bought the l’Occitaine Christmas TSVs often in a couple of fragrances. Beautifully packed in strong good quality tasteful boxes. I still use a couple of boxes as they’re so sturdy and have magnetic catches, bit faded as they must be over 10 years old. Used to buy the tins of handcream too but they’re now in cardboard boxes. Alexis will probably say it’s more environmentally friendly but cardboard box in recycling bin, tin repurposed and kept for years. When I buy their brand I shop around and choose what I want at the price I’m prepared to pay rather than a lot of guff I don’t want.

The box with the TSV is very sturdy and will last a long time. I have many L'Occitane boxes that have not felt as sturdy and they have lasted many many years and still going strong, so have no doubt this one will last too!!

Me too! I was convincing myself to wait and get the handcream when it appears on Ebay but I will use all the products, and for some reason although I can be a bit slap dash with body lotions when they are in tubes or tubs for some reason I tend to use them more. A split set has already appeared on Ebay and the handcream is £25 - as i will use everything (eventually ) it was the cost effective option to get the set

The split cherry blossom set I saw on Ebay has the empty box for £19 . I have several of their boxes too and they have lasted years and still look good

 

[Mazza]

I have a pile (or stash ) of Loccy and MB boxes from previous purchases too. One is in the kitchen with all my facemasks from Covid. Like everything, I had to get a stash of those (from Etsy) too! I prefer them with a separate lid rather than the flip over magnetic closure though. £19 though!!!! Crikey.
