PERFECT PAIRINGS

L’Occitane has done something extraordinary for the holiday season, enlisting the expertise of French pastry chef Pierre Hermé (of Ladurée and macaron fame) to create two fragrances inspired by the island of Corsica for its limited-edition holiday bodycare range. The scents, Jasmin-Immortelle-Neroli and Pamplemousse-Rhubarb, are exemplary of Hermé’s remarkable ability to mix unexpected flavours—though in this case, fragrances—with delectable results. L’Occitane Pierre Hermé Holiday Collection includes an eau de toilette, body lotion, shower gel, and hand cream, $12–$65, at L’Occitane boutiques.
