We love the new Roger & Gallet Amande Persane fragrance – especially as it’s an Escentual Exclusive! Our pick of the range is this set of richly lathering, gentle soaps. The vegetable base cleanses skin whilst respecting its natural pH, and the Almond, Iris and Tonka fragrance is sumptuous to say the least. The classic and beautiful Roger & Gallet packaging makes this a truly impressive gift.

    I have used numerous hand creams – Avon, Eucerin, Neutrogena, Cetaphil. But, on a recent trip to a big city (I live in a rural area), I walked into a L’Occitane store in a mall and the clerk asked if I wanted to try the hand cream. I agreed and was impressed right away. The smell is light and pleasant, not overpowering and flowery. The cream absorbs into the skin quickly, but still provides lasting protection. I’ve been using the cream 3 times a day for a week, and my hands are as soft as my 2-year-old daughter’s hands. I can’t believe the change.
