L'Occitane - EAV DES BAVEX
- Thread starter IWHC
- Start date
Innes, your wife made a great choice. The L'occitane products for men are good all around and the edts smell superb. Nothing like most of the department store scents these days. Well done.

Strictly speaking, it's not an after shave, it's a cologne. So it's essentially alcohol and fragrance, so won't do much as a post shave treatment.
Nothing to stop you using it after a good AS though, as most don't actually linger very long scentwise, but they do soothe, heal and tone the skin. Proraso splash is excellent in this regard.

They sell this as an ASB as well (to go along with L'Occitan and Cade).
Not in Australia/NZ they don't, unfortunately. Only the Cade and the L'Occitan is available an ASB here.
But yes, it would be nice to double up the ASB and cologne.
And NZ does still have stock of the soon to disappear Cade Splash. Lucky buggers.

Hmm, ASB could be good. I only took French until High School but I believe this says Eau De Baux (Baux in Provence,France) but using the old Roman "V" or whatever it is when you see an old building that says "Bvilding". So it means "Water of Baux" and would be pronounced like "O de bo" I think.

(Jopo - I'm not laughing at you, promise! I don't know if you remember, but there was a long long thread about how to pronounce L'Occitane, and the strange ways non-French speakers were mangling it.)
hehe; fail...it smells great but is no longer made / stocked.
my understanding from l'occitane customer service is that its merely being repackaged. it will return shortly. it has not been discontinued.
One of my favorites. Starts out with the smokey incense like note, then after a few hours a warm vanilla starts to immerge. I bought a 100ml bottle (from strawberrynet) for about $40 and have actually ended up swapping away about 60ml of it just because so many people wanted to try it.
pronunciation: (the U's look like V's)
L'Occitane en Province = lox E tan, on, pro van-ss
Eau des Baux = oh day b-oh

Just call your local L'Occitane (or any for that matter I guess). Mine answers the phone with "L'Occitane - something something something"
I didn't catch the last part, just was surprised by the very upbeat french sounding chick on the other end of the phone
Interesting and exciting! Any idea if 'repackaging' is a renaming or a reformatting of the bottle / label? (It seems as though all their men's fragrances come in the same bottle and the only distinguishing characteristic is the name and color on the relatively similar labels; just doesn't make sense if they're pulling it just to slap a newer label on it, particularly because its often characterized as a warmer weather fragrance and much of the US is entering spring / summer weather)
Fingers crossed on its return
I really like this fragrance. I find it to be an excellent winter scent. If they made a matching AS (not ASB) I would have several bottles stockpiled.
