Mondays are the beginning of my work week, and I, probably unlike most people, look forward to getting to my office. Nonetheless, I still need a little pick-me-up when I wake up. So, getting in the shower and lathering up with a bar of luxurious yet manly soap is just the ticket. L’Occitane Savon Pour Homme — Men’s Soaps (practicing my French) are my current go-to soaps, not just for Monday mornings, but every morning. Here are the details of L’Occitane Men’s Soap Trio $24: Stay clean and moisturized with this perfect gift set of masculine scented soaps from Cade,L’Occitan and Verdon ranges. This trio includes: – Occitan Pebble Soap 3.5 .oz The L’Occitan Pebble Soap is a daily cleanser suitable for hands and body that leaves skin clean, soft and hydrated. Reminiscent of the pebbles found in the rivers of Provence, it perfumes skin with the aromatic, peppery fragrance of the L’Occitan collection. – Cade Pebble Soap 3.5 .oz Wild juniper, called “Cade,” grows in the dry Provençal hillsides. Based on Cade’s antiseptic and strengthening properties, L’OCCITANE has created expert formulas specifically for men’s skincare and shaving needs. – Verdon Pebble Soap 3.5 .oz The Verdon Pebble Soap is a daily cleanser suitable for hands and body that leaves skin clean, soft and hydrated. Formulated with organic peppermint essential oil, skin is left lightly scented with the aquatic, invigorating fragrance of the Verdon collection. Its generous and masculine shape is inspired by the pebbles found in the rivers of Provence. Why it’s a Monday Morning Must Have: Besides the benefits of showering with a bar of soap that smells great, my skin is moisturized after the shower, not dry and ashy. The scents are so long-lasting that I really don’t have to wear any cologne (but I do and Cade is my current favorite). As a matter of fact, I get plenty of attention with these L’Occitane scented soaps — even a woman old enough to be mother told me I smelled good, after flirting with me during my church services. She kept smiling and wanted me to pass her an offering envelope and then wanted to use my ink pen and then dropped her umbrella (on purpose) and then dropped her hankerchief AND THEN told me I smelled good. Go figure. Because they are French soaps, I’m supposing that’s why the bars last such a long time. I also like the shape of the bar — it fits perfectly in my hand, even as it melts down. As for the price, ordinarily, I wouldn’t pay $8 for a bar of soap, but these are worth every cent. I also think they are a great gift item for holidays for a women to give the man in her life.
