Thread: L'occitane

I've never tried their cream but I have the soap and enjoy it very much. I'd buy it again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Tried the cream only once and couldn't stand it. The above idea of combining it with a soap might resurrect it tho. Maybe I'll combine it with my Mitchell's.

Love the smell but do not like the lather so much-not terrible but not great. I have only used the soap cake so cannot speak for the cream.

I use their soaps and balms including their Edt, all excellent products, where as the Cade soap as many admirers, the cream it seems does not.

I have tried the soap, the cream, and two of their balms.

The soap is good. I liked it and I will buy it again sometime in the future.
The cream is unacceptable. It is not a shaving cream, it is a failed product that should be withdrawn.

The balms are good, with a very nice scent, but too oily for me.

Did you try the cream after they reformulated it?

It's not great on its own, but it's good in an uber. I never tried it before reformulation
Perhaps you haven't tried it after?

I agree that the soap is very good and the better of the two. I just didn't find the cream all that bad.

I didn’t know that the cream has been reformulated.
I don’t know which one I tried, but it is very likely that I have used the previous formula and not the improved one.

Thank you very much for the information!

I have seen in other threads where many people don't like the soap or cream, but love the scent. I haven't tried the cream, but I have found that the soap is a weak performer compared to the few soaps I keep(Martin De Candre, Scottish fine soaps, Institute Karite, Czeck and speake). I find it is not worth the effort to get it to produce a decent lather.

I do agree the Cade aftershave is some of the finest I have tried to date.
