Every gesture, every ingredient, every ritual is drawn from a page of the L’OCCITANE grand herbarium, a resource of hundreds of essential oils and natural ingredients. The escape begins with scent. From the moment you enter a L’OCCITANE Spa, the fragrances transport you to Provence. Clay covered walls, light-coloured woods, windbreaks made from reed stems, an abundance of pebbles, shades and hues that seem lightened by the salt, sun and wind… this is the Camargue- a wild land found between the arms of the Rhone that captured the imagination of Olivier Baussan and inspired the landscape of the L’OCCITANE Spas. Prior to your treatment, you are greeted with a “Welcome Ritual”. Your experience then takes you on a true olfactory journey, sequenced at every step by soothing or energizing aromas. The voyage of the senses continues through gestures, sensorial textures, relaxing music and the herbal teas inspired by Provencal traditions. The Spa is a natural extension of our brand. In respect for authenticity, we always prefer hand-performed treatments over machines and traditional massage techniques over technologies.
