It has soft almond fragrance to it!

I have to disagree with the other reviewers. I love marzipan and almonds, and I promise that this smells like neither. I was anticipating a warm herbal smell, but the truth is this smells a little cloying, like a synthetic candied tween perfume. The smell isn't awful though, and while it does linger on your skin, it does so softly and sweetly. If you can overlook the syrupy- not sure what this fragrance is- quality while you're using it, the net result is a really sexy skin scent which will blend very well with other fragrances.

I would say it smells like almonds, not sweet or flowery at all.

It smells kind of nutty, but not very almond scented as I was lead to believe.

I can't think of anything to describe it. Clean, with a slight woodsy smell? I just LOVE it,

It's impossible to describe...you have to smell it yourself. I suggest you go to the l'Occitane website and order a trial size (if Sephora does not stock that size). Also, if there is a l'Occitane boutique in your area, try checking it out there. That's how I found it..went in to get the plain milk soap (which is also awesome) and my husband called me over and that was it.
Good luck!

Almonds

to me, it is strong floral smelling in the shower, but does not last too long on skin after.

It has a light almond scent, hence the name "amande", its a really nice scent its not overbearing at all... you'll love it!

light (not heavy perfume) clean, natural and refreshing. so if you do apply fragance, you won't have too many scent on...

It is a subtle sent, not flowery, kind of like almonds. I've never smelled anything quite like it before, think more towards a vanilla/nut smell rather than a flowery, citrus, or woodsy smell. I was kind of indifferent to the smell at first, but I like it more over time.

it's an almond body oil- it smells nutty and rich.

It is a bath oil that gently foams with water. Your skin is left hydrated and moisturized!

No! Do not use anything but your hands...I say this because even losing a drop is sad to me:-)

can be used both as a cleansing and as a moisturizing product, howerver it was meant to be used as a foaming shower oil for washing with

Both, you may apply with a scrubbie or wash cloth. I prefer to use with a scrubbie.

it is a moisturizing oil. its best appreciated when you apply directley to palms rub together and apply to body! makes hands and body super soft after the shower

it is a shower gel for cleansing. It has soap in it so if you moisturize with it, you will not be too happy :)

I mix it with my regular shower gel and use a loofah. It foams up like a regular shower gel would.

Yes use a loofah or anything to wash your body with,... apply like shaving cream to your legs and shave as usual its AMAZing for shaving and getting no irritation whatso ever!...

It is a little of both, I think it best apply onto my body to feel the richness of the foam, especially if you have very dry skin.

Both

This is a cleansing product; it also serves as a great shaving cream. When using as a cleanser, I apply with a washcloth; I use my hands to apply for shaving. If you are looking for a terrific moisturizing oil, please try L'Occitane's Supple Skin Oil - it is terrific (and paired with the Shower Oil, will make dry, itchy skin a distant memory!).

There isn't a peppermint smell at all. It is almond oil but not a strong smell. Delightful and light!

I can't smell peppermint in this blend. But the scent is strong, with flavors of fresh hay, grass, oatmeal, and similar notes. This is definitely not a "smellum" sort of product. The fragrance is appropriate, but not overwhelming or chemical.

It smells wonderful. I didn't even know it had peppermint in it! Mostly smells like sweet almond oil and another delicious scent that I don't recognize---but NO peppermint!

I noticed no peppermint (good thing, because I don't like peppermint). It's kind of sweet and exotic. I love it.

Personally, I think it smells more of vanilla and almond. A sweet and soft fragrance.

No peppermint smell at all. It smells of almond and vanilla.

I did not smell any peppermint...the smell is a slightly scented almond.

It's more of a light almond scent. I don't really smell any peppermint.

No peppermint whatsoever. It smells like almond and is not overpowering.

I don't believe there is any peppermint in this product. The scent is a very subtle almond with a hint of vanilla.

no slippage in my tub or shower.

NO slippery residue on tub floor

Not slippery at all

No not at all. I use it on a net sponge poof and its perfect. There hasn't been anything slippery in the tub or when I get out.

I have not found the product to make the tub mat slippery. It is fast-rinsing and seems to rinse completely. Never had any concern or problem about slipping, and I'm an old man (59) with bad balance, so this is also a concern or issue I face. So far, no problems at all.

This seems to rinse off without an oily residue on the tub/shower. Not slippery either. It rinses off body and leaves you moisturized-not oily.

There has been no residue on my tub. Although it calls itself an "oil", it's not really oily at all. It's silky, but rinses clean and your skin will even "squeak" when rinsed thoroughly. Hope this helps, I really like it and love the scent.

Not at all

I thought the same thing, but it actually doesn't leave a slippery residue.

No

yes , you can use it in your bath.

both are good, i just bathe with them, haven't put in my bath water.

I don't see why not, but you would probably need to use a lot and the stuff isn't cheap. It's not really and "oil" at all, it's silky and leaves no residue. I love the scent!

Yes, you can use this in the bath. It will leave your skin feeling very hydrated and smooth.

I recommend the almond oil, even though I've never tried the other. Better yet, put a little bit of the almond oil on your (dry) arms, legs, and torso, and then get into the warm bath water and relax. You'll use a little less for the same effect. The oil will slowly diffuse off your skin and into the water, making a fragrant bath. You can also combine the shower oil with a bubble bath (using the bubble bath as usual, not on your skin).

I use it in the bath for a long soak...very relaxing smell and you feel so soft when you towel off.

I don't think this would hold up in a bath. You could use it to clean from the water line up, but I think it would dissapate quickly once it's under water. I always use mine in the shower.

I put it directly onto my skin in the shower. It's great to shave with as it lets the razor slide over your skin and leaves your legs silky smooth. When you add water it makes a light silky lather.

I wouldnt put it in the bath because it does turn into a nice silky foam. I would use the Laura Mercier product in the bath since its specifically made for the bath. This product is made for the shower. good Luck

I found a little goes a long way. Its a good size bottle, comparable to other bath and body products.

No, I would love to have the larger size from Sephora.

I would definitely get the larger bottle, I currently use the smaller one to keep in my gym bag.

Sorry! The 16.9 oz is the one I was thinking of. A great buy and on sale right now on the L'Occitane site.

Check the L'Occitane boutique or their online store. They have the 32oz with pump twice a year (should have it now). Good luck!
