Hooked on Honey

I have been infatuated with L’Occitane en Provence Honey Body Balm for years now. I couldn’t get enough of the soothing softness, intoxicating smell and dewy glow it left on my skin. But recently I went to replenish my stash and, to my horror, there was none on the shelves! Julie (the PR rep) kindly responded to my panicked email, letting me know that “it was discontinued in November, and there is not a scrap to be found anywhere.” She said that the line was relaunched as Honey Lemon, which still has the pure honey from Provence as its base. A few days later, I received a bottle in the mail (thanks Julie!) and gave it a try. Although it will never replace my body balm, I love the hint of fresh lemon and the texture is light but still super-hydrating. It’s my new summer scent!
