Description
L`Occitane en Provence and Pierre Herme “The Picasso of Pastry”, as he is known worldwide, will present three limited collections aimed at the upcoming holidays. The flacons were designed by Olivier Baussan who shaped them like cookies, shaping them in style of L’Occitane brand and previous editions of the house. The new holiday flacons were created in frames of long-lasting friendship of the owner of L’Occitane, designer Olivier Baussan and Pierre Herme, with the intention to highlight the talents of each of them and to include them in this luxurious collection, and that the new limited extraordinary collection also celebrates the skill in creating fragrances and the craftsmanship in baking the best pastry and macaroons.
Three new collections which include EDTs and rich perfumed assortment of accompanying products will be in sales at L’Occitane stores starting from October 28th 2015. Various sets including different products were also prepared, to facilitate the customer’s selection. The limited collection perfumes were named after key ingredients: Pamplemousse Rhubarbe (grapefruit-rhubarb), Jasmin Immortelle Neroli (jasmine-immortelle-neroli) and Miel Mandarine (honey-mandarin).
Jasmin Immortelle Neroli attracts attention with sunny yellow color and ingredients which provide an irresistible fragrant blend. Cold and elegant jasmine is combined with intense, dry flavors of immortelle, while neroli provides fine luminosity and salty scent. The composition opens with lemon and pink pepper, providing joy to floral notes of jasmine, immortelle and neroli in the heart. The base provides a subtle blend of wood and sensual musk. The collection encompasses EDT 75ml, body lotion, shower gel, perfumed soaps, perfumed glittery powder and perfumed hand cream.

This is great! This is a very sunny and uplifting fragrance. The neroli is dominant, but i get a bit of a beautiful jasmine too.
For neroli fans, this is a must try. One of the best neroli perfumes out there.
It is elegant and relaxed, a combination i love.
Thumbs up!

It is a neroli dominant scent.
Too much for me, i dislike it. Wanted to try well balanced neroli scnet but it is not this one.
Narcotic, smooth and strong. But it can kills you.

The opening smells exactly just like jasmin sambac. Very realistic, never synthetic, but no neroli yet. It’s not a dirty animalic jasmin, it rather smells “naturally” clean, fresh, and light but not green. Then when it’s sitting longer on my skin (not sure how many hours long); the jasmine is getting clean like fresh laundry clean, then at that stage I just realised that the neroli is gradually taking the front seat while the jasmine is slowly disappearing. The neroli here is light, simple and fresh. It’s not really white floraly indolic, but it’s rather lemony, cologne like citrusy, & sharp, but never harsh, rather soft. I do agree to the other review here that it is like citrus laundry powder, like lemon scented laundry powder, but soft.
I haven’t smelt immortelle before nor smelt it on any products or fragrances, but I have a clue on what does it smell like based on reading & hearing many things about it in many different sites, but I don’t think i got any immortelle in here, even its shadow never appeared on my skin, just literally, & simply jasmine, and neroli-lemon in that order.
So if you like jasmine and neroli both, then you might give this a try, although i’m not sure if this is still available.
8.5/10

This sold out quickly and I missed the chance to buy a bottle. I picked up the scented lotion on eBay, and it’s a great, light, clean floral fragrance. It IS dominated by a powdery neroli, as others have stated. I’ve read reviews (I think on the Now Smell This blog) that say the lotion is a nicer version of the fragrance than the spray, but I can’t say I know for sure. I own Woods of Windsor Bergamot and Neroli, and it smells pretty similar. $20 for a large bottle of that gives you the same effect of this L’Occitane release.
A note about related fragrances: I own Yves Rocher’s Neroli, and it has a sharpness that doesn’t quite sit well with me. The Woods of Windsor is more rounded, more powdery, but still fresh and realistic. Not sure which of these matches the L’Occitane spray best, but hope that helps someone looking for a dupe.

More citrus than Jasmine or Immortelle. Neroli is present and dominant. It gets powdery after half an hour or so and the fixation wasn’t that great.
I have seen this before, nothing intriguing. It’s inoffensive, fresh and sunny, definitely not bad, but nothing special really.
Just a tip: just buy United Dreams Open Your Mind by Benetton if you like this one. Basically the same smell, sillage and longevity, but much less pricey.
Or maybe you should check it out after L’Occitane retire this fragrance, like they always do with basically all of their products.

Look, this is getting a little annoying. I have had a number of L’occitane en provence fragrances, and they all start to smell the same, because they are very very similar.
This does smell a lot like the jasmine flower, has some dewy sweetness, a little creaminess. But mostly this smells like a citrus laundry powder, so powdery and fresh.
This is a very clean white floral- as such like all of their other florals. It is completely unimaginative and uninspired, I don’t know why I bother even trying L’Occitane fragrances anymore. It is nice, that’s it.

If your looking for a Jasmin perfume this is not it.
You smell initially for a few seconds lemon. Then Jasmin for a little while mixed with neroli. However, you are left with a neroli scent mainly. It would be a disappointment for fans of Jasmin.

I sprayed myself with Jasmin-Immortelle Neroli yesterday at the L’Occitane store with some trepidation. I have trouble wearing jasmine and musk, can barely tolerate amber in most fragrances, and wondered if I’d be scrubbing this fragrance off!
But no, my immediate impression was of orange blossom and neroli, more so than jasmine. The base notes were subtle. Overall I found it pleasant, but not compelling enough for me to buy a bottle. If you like orange blossom and neroli, give it a try.
These are the notes that were printed on the paper testing cone at the store:
top notes: Petit Grain, Pink Pepper, Lemon
heart notes: Jasmine, Immortelle, Neroli
base notes: Amber, White Woods, Musk

It’s amazing how we get different notes. All I smell is neroli, neroli and again…neroli. The immortele show up, but the jasmin in my bottle is very shy. Only in the drydown, a tiny bit. Preety and happy, an overall nice scent, nothing extraordinary if that’s what you’re looking for.

Jasmine, immortelle, and neroli are among my top five favorite fragrance notes, so I thought this LE collaboration (with Pierre Herme no less, he whose inventive macaron flavor combinations are well-known) would be a home run for me. Not so.
The fragrance is quite well balanced, although smelling more like sweet lemon curd with a hefty dose of lemon juice squeezed on it than the floral concoction that the name conjures. There’s a floral hint, but just a hint.
Alas, that lemon juice top note is too harsh and on the verge of being headache inducing. After an hour or so, it mellows to a rather cozy honeyed lemon curd scent. If only the opening of the fragrance can be skipped altogether, this would be a comforting Christmas fragrance, albeit one with a name that does not quite fit the scent.

This Eau de Toilette was part of a free gift with purchase at L’Occitane. I was surprised to see Pierre Herme’s name on the box, but was very intrigued. Macaroons >perfume = most likely sugar, almonds puff. I loathe/love gourmands, but I won’t go into that here. Off the top, you are given citrus for a short time and then a pleasant jasmine rolls up. The immortelle streamlines this very springy flower fest. Nice. Delighted to have in my wardrobe for a summer day.

Here comes L’Occitane again with just another LE, so just in case you love it, then you need to pile up or you won’t be able to have it again.
Luckily I don’t like it enough to buy.
I smelled this one and Pamplemousse Rhubarb. Mandarine Miel was not available and I start thinking it was better so.
Pamplemousse Rhubarb was awful, but that’s just because I hate the smell of grapefruit in perfumes. It’s not real juicy grapefruit anyway, just a screachy chemical that smells like armpit sweat. It’s my problem with this note.
With Jasmin Immortelle Neroli I expected more. I love Jasmine, I love Neroli and immortelle is not bad.
What not to love here? Eww… simply the fact that it’s not done in a nice way. It smells pleasant but very synthetical.
АФЕНОГЕН – :
I love it! Dry woody-jasmin with refined immortelle accord. Beginning fresh citrus and sophisticated white flowers. Really nice, elegant.
hrust – :
the advert states this is a LE scent.
