L'Occitane Verbena

 

The best part of going to Fairmont Hotels used to be the L'Occitane Verbena stuff they had in the bathroom (ok, that's a little overstated, but it was up there on the list). Then of course they blew it and switched to some other junk. Verbena shampoo, soap, hand lotion, etc. works well, but the key thing is that it smells fantastic. It's a great lemony deal without being all girly. OK, it's kind of girly, but at least it's not rosewater.

I am generally a Dove and Suave kind of guy --- the $1.50 pricetag on those guys is much easier to cope with than $20 for the L'Occitane stuff. But for a once-in-awhile purchase, I definitely recommend it.

Lemon-fresh, just like Pledge! Maybe that's the connection, some deep link to my childhood. Nah.
