It’s all about the journey rather than the destination at this new thematic space at Raffles City, a pop-up that’s running from now to July 9 by French brand L’Occitane. While it’s a stunning showcase of their haircare and body care range, you’ll also get a first-hand experience of crowd-favourite products and immersive projection rooms like the Almond Forest and Immortelle Field. And of course, everything is beyond photogenic with infinity mirror rooms and beautifully styled sets.
First, check into the L’Occitane Hotel itself where you’ll be given a room key (in the form of a QR code) to enjoy the full experience – simply follow the planned-out route. Step into the Almond Forest where you can plant your own almond seed virtually – there’ll be a personalised plaque marking which your very own tree is. You can even tap to water or to shine sunlight down, to watch the seed flourish into a large almond tree. This is a thoughtful nod to how L’Occitane plants a tree for every employee who works for more than three years.
The Almond Spa is next on the route, and where you can try some of their best-selling products, such as the almond shower scrub and almond shower oil.
Make sure to also get a complimentary hair care consult at the 5 Essential Oils Bar, where a professional “hair care mixologist” offers a free scan and advice on any of your hair concerns. Before heading over to the Immortelle Suite, where you’ll learn more about L’Occitane’s skincare range, there is also an Immortelle Flower Field. This is a photogenic infinity mirror room of sorts, and you’ll be sure to snap plenty of photos.
If any of the products interest you, take the chance to pick up a much-coveted hair oil or night serum at the Gift Shop. L’Occitane is also offering a special Travel Kit ($59, U.P. $98) exclusively at the pop-up event.
You can also redeem a sample kit featuring eight best-selling products at the event. Simply pre-register here.
