L'Occitane Verdon Soap

I am not sure wether you're a soap person in the first place but I totally am. I love my soaps, especially Lush and L'Occitane soaps. This one is a part of the Verdon collection from L'Occitane which is inspired by the national park Verdon (Provence, France) which is the second largest canyon in the world. Verdon EDT is the first aquatic fragrance for men by L'Occitane. It was created of fresh, aquatic aromas associated with running waters near Verdon cliffs, along with aromatic mint and lemon. And it surely gives that minty, fresh water vibe, similar to Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio. This soap is formulated with an extra-gentle 100% plant-based base.

Ne znam da li ste vi osoba koja voli i koristi sapune kao dio njege ali ja zaista jesam. Volim sve svoje sapuncice, posebno Lush i L'Occitane sapune. Ovaj je dio Verdon kolekcije iz L'Occitane-a koja je inspirisana nacionalnim parkom Verdon (Provansa, Francuska) koji je drugi najveci kanjon po redu u svijetu. Verdon EDT je prvi akvaticni miris za muskarce koji je napravio L'Occitane. Kreiran je od svjezih, akvaticnih aroma koje asociraju na brzake u blizini litica kanjona Verdon, uz dodatak aromaticne mente i limuna. I zaista, itekako pruza taj mentolasti, svjez miris. Veoma slican Giorgio Armanijevom Acqua Di Gio parfemu. Sapun je formulisan na temelju jako njezne 100% biljne baze.

It's of a very basic appearance when you unwrap it. Basic white soap with “L'Occitane” engraved in the middle. It's a rather gentle soap and I use it for my face but I think it would be excellent as a fresh soap for body (which actuaally it is its purpose). Now, I suppose some of you have cringed when I mentioned that I use it for washing my face but it truly is gentle enough. I think that dry skin wouldn't benefit from it but normal, mixed (like mine is) and oily skins sure would. It's really creamy and lathers well. It cleans my face efficiently without stripping it but that “stripping” feeling is something extremely individual. I had that feeling from face products other thought of very moisturizing so it really varies from person to person. Verdon soap gives me the feeling that my skin is properly cleansed but not “squeaky clean” meaning that I don't feel any unpleasant tightness. I also love the masculine, fresh smell so if you don't mind unisex fragrance and you usually go for gentle soaps, you just might like this one. It never made my skin around the nose flaky nor have I gotten any blemishes while I was using it. It's not my first choice of face cleansing but when I'm out of my face wash, this is an excellent substitute.

Uvidjeti cete da je izuzetno jednostavnog izgleda kada ga otpakujete. Jednostavan bijeli sapun na kojem je ugravirano “L'Occitane” po sredini. Jako je njezan sapun i koristim ga za lice iako mislim da bi bio izuzetan kao svjezi sapun za tijelo (sto mu u sustini i jeste svrha). Mogu pretpostaviti da je sigurno par vas odmahnulo rukom ili glavom u znak neodobravanja kada sam spomenula da ga koristim za ciscenje lica ali mi je zaista dovoljno njezan. Mislim da suhoj kozi ne bi odgovarao ali normalnoj, mjesovitoj (poput moje) i masnoj sigurno bi. Dosta je kremast i lijepo pjeni. Efikasno mi ocisti kozu lica bez agresivnog skidanja zastitnog sloja ali bas taj osjecaj isusivanja je potpuno individualan. Koza mi se znala osjecati isuseno zbog proizvoda koji su drugima bili dosta hidratantni tako da to stvarno ovisi od osobe do osobe. Verdon sapun mi pruza osjecaj temeljito ociscene koze ali ne do mjere da “skripi” od cistoce sto znaci da ne osjetim nikakvo zatezanje nakon koristenja. Takodjer mi se dopada muski, svjezi miris tako da ako vam uopste ne smetaju uniseks mirisi te inace koristite njeznije sapune, onda bi vam se mogao svidjeti i Verdon sapun. Nikada mi nije napravio perutanje oko nosa niti su mi se pojavile aknice na licu otkada ga koristim. Nije mi prvi izbor kada je ciscenje lica u pitanju ali kada istrosim svoja sredstva za umivanje a nemam zalihe, ovo je odlicna zamjena.
