This store has a nice selection of toiletries. If you want to fancy up your collection or find a nice gift for a gal pal, (or guy pal), family member or any loved one, I would suggest this store. My favourite item here, however, is no doubt the hand cream. I usually do not enjoy harsh in your face smells, but that is where L'Occitane en Provenece swoops in for the win. I enjoy the texture,... more
This store has a large fragrant selection of body gels, lotions, bubble bath and other body care items. The staff is super friendly and the store is well organized! It's a little on the pricey side but it's worth the price you pay. Ask about any value deals since you can sometimes get discounted items for spending over a specific amount.
Highly recommended!
Speaking from the perspective of someone who grew up with L'Occitane fragrances in the household, this brand is marvelous. Here, you will find all sorts of fragrant beauty products, including some home sprays. They have a men's line, too!
The girls aren't always as helpful as they should be. I'm told a lot of them are still quite new to the brand. As it is a new location, they are forgiven....

I stopped in here to look for Christmas gifts for my GF's girls. I knew exactly what I wanted -- the 1oz hand cream gift ornament. I had a similar exp. to the other reviewer. The girl was overly friendly, would not take my polite "I'll ask you if I have any questions" and kept dogging me through the store. Finally, I told her what I was looking for, she lied(saw it on display in the window... more
I've recently been introduced to this place in the past year and have visited the following locations (3) with similar reviews to the products in passing. I love their citrus hand cream. I am all about hand creams, especially in winter and 'cause I play guitar, therefore, want to keep my hands somewhat smooth. Customer service at this and the other locations have all been the same...great. The... more
moving to new corner, prime location at burrard/robson, where Bebe used to be. in a few months
I came in here for Christmas gifts and received wonderful service when it came to product knowledge.
I really like the product here and would LOVE to give them 5 stars.. BUT.. Their return policy is absurd.
They offer a refund on cash and credit ONLY.
I always pay with debit. As its the holiday season, I did specify that it was a gift, but did not need a gift receipt. I was told no problem...

Have been to this little store on Burrard street many times before, the staff is always nice and very helpful while trying to put an assortment of items to fit in a size box I wanted, will be going back anytime I need a nice gift for Birthday or just because....price range for a nice size assortment of multiple items $150-200
I am quite loyal to my brand of products that I use for my face and body, but I was looking for some new hand cream. I've tried MANY brands of hand cream, from high-end, to department store to drug store brands.
L'Occitane's hand cream is one of the best that I've tried. Go for the Shea Butter (20%) hand cream in the fat silver tube, and you won't be disappointed. You don't know how often I...

As a French woman it was nice to see that Occitane came to Canada.
Same products, same quality, same store.
It is a pleasure to go there and smell all those lavender, sweet orange, mint .... aromes.
The service is really good and the cashier are really helping you.
Just go inside and smell of those goodies, even if you don't buy, it will make you happy ;-).
Fantastic products, clean well organized shop, and usually 5 star service and staff knowledge of the products . I especially appreciate the assistance of a sales associate there called Victoria .
This is my soap story. Or I'd like to call it my Soap Opera.
I have been asked to pick up some L'Occitane soap because he's running out. OK, so since I'm in that area, I decide to stop by and pick up a bar of this soap.
I browse around the store-lots and lots of selection, a little overwhelming. Soaps, shampoo, lotion, lip balm....
One of the salesgirls asks, "Hi, can I help you look for...

We became a fan of their products after a weekend stay at the Opus while visiting Vancouver back in 2002. Our bathroom was appointed with L'Occitane goodies. Since then, we have been indulging ourselves once in a while with purchases from the retail store in San Jose.
We tried a variety of the products over the years and we love them all because of the subtlety of the scents. I went in to the...

Great variety of perfumes and related products. I never walk by this store without stepping in.
I like this place because I love the products....I avoided it as I thought the whole Provence/lavender thing was too gimicky. I was sooooo wrong. The product rocks. I use the Cade Youth Concentrate daily....I can see and feel the difference. They have a terrific men's line and it all smells great! have loved every product I've tried....smells so good you want to eat it.
This French-based company certainly has opened a pretty little store in Vancouver. When I walked in, the place smelled amazing, and I was greeted with a friendly "How are you?" by the staff. Their lavender, verbena, and shea butter lines, seem like their chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry flavours.
I was mostly left to wander and sniff about, but the staff member who helped me showed me some...

L'Occitane products are ubiquitous when it comes to skincare. Renowned the world over for their unique approach to beauty and interesting fragrances, it first started in the south of France in 1976. Since then, L'occitanne has expanded exponentially with stores in the US, Hong Kong and, of course, Canada.
Despite its growth, the L'Occitane of today has stayed true to its origins in France....

I loves me some good smelling natural products...and lucky for me L'occitane delivers just that!
L'occitane was started in the late 70's on Provence by one man. He bought an old distiller and started to make his own essential oils which he sold at a local market...years later the L'occitane is available everywhere...from Vancouver to Japan to London and Dubi...the little company grew to into a...

Get that French feeling with luxurious skin, bath and body care products direct from Provence. The Shea Butter line is popular.
