In case you missed it, last week L'OCCITANE opened the doors to one of its most luxurious boutiques yet, housed inside a historical Art Deco building at the heart of Lincoln Road. Paying tribute to the rich cultural diversity of Brazil, the Brésil room, the first of its kind in the US, boasts a mezzanine level dedicated to L'OCCITANE's exclusive Au Brésil collection.

L'OCCITANE founder Olivier Baussan's love for Brazil inspires the line of alluring soaps, fragrances, body creams and more, which all incorporate two new exotic ingredients -vitória régia, an Amazonian flower that falls asleep at dawn and blooms when night falls, and jenipapo, a fruit tree from the Cerrado that seeks the sun and soaks up its energy.
