Arresting Fragrance

The L’Occitane Garden was as subtle as it’s neighbor (Diarmuid’s vast pyramid) was in-your-face exhibitionist, but where it won hands-down was the glorious fragrance of the immortelle flowers. The immortelle is a member of the helichrysum family and is used by L’Occitane for their highly regarded anti-aging cosmetics. L’Occitane work with growers in the Corsican maquis who harvest the flowers for them. You can find out more about this at www.loccitane.com and clicking on the UK site.
