L'Occitane Cedrat Collection for Father's Day

 Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

If you are still looking for fabulous Father's Day gifts, then the L'Occitane Cedrat Collection should definitely be considered. The woodsy citrus scent is subtle enough that it smells great on women and men alike. Therefore, you may buy it for him, but he had better hide it if he doesn't want to share it with you!

L'Occitane Cedrat After-Shave Cream Gel is a fast absorbing delectably aromatic after-shave gel that moisturizes the skin without any greasy residue. It soothes and hydrates freshly shaved skin, and it tones and protects. I love the smell, and have been applying a little to my neck and décolleté for added moisture and for the luscious scent.

According to L'Occitane,

This After-Shave Cream Gel is enriched with organic Corsican energizing cedrat extract, moisturizing glycerin and soothing bisabolol. Its fresh and melting texture is quickly absorbed without feeling greasy. Skin is left fragranced with the sparkling slightly woody notes of cedrat.

Its multi-benefit formula helps to:

1. Hydrate and soothe skin after shaving.

2. Reduce feelings of irritations and tightness caused by shaving.

3. Tone and protect the skin from external aggressions.

Ingredients: Organic Cedrat Extract from Corsica: Energizes. Allantoin: Helps soothe. 

Water, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate Se, Octyldodecyl Myristate, Dicaprylyl Ether, Corn Starch Modified, Cetearyl Glucoside, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Citrus Medica Vulgaris Fruit Extract, Citrus Medica Vulgaris Peel Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Bisabolol, Sorbitol, Cetyl Alcohol, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Disodium Edta, Magnesium Aspartate, Zinc Gluconate, Copper Gluconate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Tocopherol, Fragrance, Limonene, Citral, Linalool.

L'Occitane Cedrat Stick Deodorant is an aluminum and alcohol-free deodorant that leaves skin soft and smelling great all day long. It may be made with men in mind, but it has quickly become my favorite deodorant. I have particularly sensitive skin under my arms, and this is gentle enough that my skin feels great all day long, and without any hint of irritation.

According to L'Occitane,

Made without alcohol or aluminum salts, this deodorant glides on easily and dries quickly. It perfumes the skin with a fresh and energizing scent, while efficiently preventing body odor. Skin feels soft, and the body has a sense of well-being throughout the day.

Originally from Asia, cedrat (or citrus) was the first citrus fruit to reach the shores of Corsica, France. The Cedrat extract derived from the pulp was coveted for its skin-energizing properties. To this day, L’Occitane continues to harvest cedrat during the winter months on the island of Corsica at a small, organic cooperative. 

Overall Assessment: Buy it for him, but enjoy it yourself too! I absolutely love the scent!
