LOVED it! It smells wonderful and it leaves my normally dry skin silky smooth...ohhh, what a delight. It doesn't make your shower/bathtub oily since it foams nicely. It foams best on a shower puff. The scent is very light, not overpowering at all and very French, very Parisian. WOW!

WOW, I went to L'Occitane to get some cream to go with my Almond Blossom Perfume Gel...well, I ended up with this shower oil. I tried this and it smells exactly like the perfume gel...the scent and the moisture clings to the skin. My husband loved the scent. I love this product and the scent! This is a keeper!

Absolutely beautiful. Read about this in a magazine, tried it and loved it. It lightly foams up on contact with water (I use it on one of those exfoliating body puffs) and it leaves my normally sensitive skin feeling really soft but without any oily residue. I find I don't necessarily need to use a body lotion as well now, just maybe once or twice a week. I am just coming to the end of my first bottle and will definitely repurchase. £12.50 for a shower product - expensive? Yes, probably but the benefit for me personally outweighs the cost. I picked up a small "try me" set in my local L'Occitane shop a couple of weeks ago - for £9 you get a good-sized travel size of the shower oil, a pot of the Almond Milk Concentrate cream and a pot of the Almond paste scrub - they are in my kit bag and have tried them all, they are well worth having.

This is absolutely beautiful. No cleanser has ever made my skin feel like this. It does what it says and I didn't even need moisturizer after this (and I have dry skin).
I find the price reasonable, as with most L'Occitane products.

Wonderful product, highly recommended for Canadian winters! (and other northern areas in the world!) Very moisturizing, leaves the skin soft, lightly scented with a wonderful fragrance. Has a foaming action when it comes in contact with water. Pure indulgence!

I love shower oils in general. I don't have dry skin on my body, so using shower oil in the shower is all the moisturizer I ever need. I have used Sebamed and Eucerin shower oils from Europe, but they smell kinda unisex to me. I love the feminine sweet scent of this, and the lingering scent on my skin after shower is heavenly. I can't stop sniffing my arm...

Would like if this came in a pump. Ok having said that. This shower oil is great for the dry skin on my body. Strange my face in normal/oily body dry. Anyway, the smell grew on me and it keeps my skin feeling soft. Slightly pricey.

I really enjoyed using this "shower oil"....in the bath. As I poured a bit under the hot running water, the sweet, noticable scent of almond filled the bathroom. The oil made my bath aromatic and moisturizing, and foamed up without being drying. After the bath my skin was soft and lightly scented. I want to try the rest of this line!

I went into the L'Occitane store to purchase the Olive Shower Cream, but also asked if there might be anything even more moisturizing. SA suggested the Huile de Douche Amande. I purchased both (along with their last tub of the 25% Shea Butter) and my skin feels so much better. All three products have surpassed my expecations. Will definitely repurchase! :>)

I love this! The Amande range smells heavenly, a very milky and warm scent. This shower oil is quite unique. Had expected it to be quite oily, but it actually isn't at all. The oil foams up slightly when you add water, and feels a little warm. Rinses off cleanly without any sticky feeling. My skin feels really smooth and moisturised. I also like to use this when shaving my legs for a very smooth shave. The only con is that its very pricey, but a little goes a long way.

L'Occitane's Almond Shower Oil foams when you use it, and it smells heavenly! Sweet and light, it isn't a true almond smell to me (not like almond extract), but it does smell lightly of almonds and also somewhat flowery and a bit of vanilla. Very moisturizing , lathers well, and leaves the skin lightly scented; but the bath smells GREAT after use!
