Thread: L'Occitane Cade users?

i have a shop within walking distance and i'm often tempted to try it..

can anyone describe the scent? also.. what is it's base?

To me it smells like the desert. Juniper up in the higher elevations. Very herbal/floral. Sorry I can't be more descriptive.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it is a Palm Oil based soap. I do not have it in front of me, so I can't look at the ingredients.

The scent to me is slightly floral with a little sweetness and spiciness. I mostly get the Juniper and Sandalwood that are described on their website here:

Shaving Soap | Shop L'Occitane Men's Shaving

It is a very light, clean scent.

that does sound pretty good.. i'm overflowing with floral scented stuff these days..

but i do agree that the metal dish is really cool looking.

Count me as one who actually really dislikes Cade. It is too finicky for me to lather for whatever reason and I can never get a consistent great lather from it.

Out of all the French Soaps I'll take MdC or Institute Karite any day over the likes of Cade, PdP, or PS.
