Thanks OP, I would never have even thought of something like this as a gift. It's a nice set for reasonable money. Can't go too far wrong.

+1, it's actually bigger than I thought it would be and a great price for what is essentially a sampler set of a premium brand.

OK, no. A level up from a sampler set!

Also, yeah I heard the door knock and by the time I got to it the package was just propped up, dead centre in the porch. :pac: Still, I'm glad they didn't bring it back to the depot!

Mine arrived today. Contents are:

Verbena Shower Gel 75ml
Verbena Body Lotion 75ml
Verbena Eau De Toilette 10ml
Almond Shower Oil 75ml
Almond Delicious Hands 10ml
Aromachologie Repairing Shampoo 75ml
Aromachologie Repairing Conditioner 75ml
Extra-Gentle Shea Butter Milk Soap 50g
Shea Butter Hand Cream 10ml
Shea Foot Cream 10ml

I didn't know they could make hand lotion so small. Sizes of the shampoo and shower stuff good for travel and later as refillable bottles. But the three 10ml handcreams are a laugh. I think this is very much something that will be regifted.

It's hard to even compare the price of this with individual items on the website. They have a travel shampoo and conditioner 75ml for €8.00, Almond Shower Oil 75ml €8.00, Verbena Shower Gel 75ml €6.50. So it's like you're paying for the five items at the bottom of the box and the other five minis (hand/foot lotion, soap, eau de toilette) come free.

This is no reflection on the OP, fair play to them for posting. However I think we have all been ripped off by Debenhams here. There is no way this was ever on sale for 70 euro or 50 pounds etc. It's illegal to claim a price that was never used by a retailer. I think this was an absolute swindle.

Try complaining and you might get a refund

Maybe not, I'd say its not on the level of Amazon refunds

They arrived and I think they'll make a lovely gift on Christmas Day, something a bit different, but no way anyone is paying even 50 euros for this never mind 50 pounds.

I suppose the hand creams are handbag \ clutch size so might be appreciated for that

I hate seeing packages in this size asat that size, just pure packaging, waste of plastic and really damaging to the environment.

Jrop

collected my L'occtaine stuff yesterday. The items are small and definitely not worth €70.
It will make a lovely gift for my SiL

xpletiv

I am really struggling to see any evidence at all about the original retrail price of 70 euro or even £50; how would we find that out??

Check your bin or under your car!

But seriously, I didn't have to sign for mine. Very odd.

I live in an apartment building, so no idea where the fecker might have left it! I've walked around, but no sign. :mad:

mrcheez

Actually in these situations will Debenhams provide a replacement?

I can't wait to see where the bastids put mine when I get back.

Thanks, yes I only realised this evening after support hours. I've sent them an email.

SHowed them to my missus yesterday, and she reckons that their stuff is very fairly expensive, and she thought €25 a pop was great value. She works in that kind of business, so I'm very happy to give them as a present.

James Bond Junior

These arrived today, having bought this brand before for presents in the past, €25 was pretty good value in my book. Wasn't as small as I thought thankfully.

SteelyDanJalapeno

Yeah this stuff is usually pricey, got some in the airport for the gf earlier this year, 30 for a smaller pack. This is great value

jobless

agree with above, this brand is quite pricey so 25 is good value.... 75 would have been a rip off and i doubt they ever sold at that price....

Found mine beside the house, one of the boxes fairly damaged

this is gone now

Yeah, L'Occitane is a pricey ("premium") brand all right. OP found a great deal!

For those who were complaining that they thought this was a rip off, I found this set on Amazon (I also posted this earlier in the thread).

56 sterling!

It is an expensive Brand, there are often good deals in Kildare outlet. They do a beautiful Verbena and Mint Frangrance if you ever come across it!

However, I think giving sizes the size of the hand creams and perfume in this set, 10ml is useless and more environmentally damaging (making fancy plastic tubes for that size) than anything else. 10ml is not worth getting.

No offence to op, they were passing on a good deal, I bought one, but will be careful who I give it to.

Its one of those where you get a smelly set of stuff you wont use.

Very handy as a travel set though.

I think the hand creams are too small to be useful at all, use once or twice and throw away, not environmentally friendly at all.

Shampoo, conditioner and soap grand!

My 2 arrived today. Presents for 2 nieces. I.m well happy and I would be a regular buyer of this brand. I think it is a great way of trying some of their products without purchasing the full item.

back to 70 Euro on Irish site and 50 GBP on UK's one..

total rip-off at that price...

Post it again as a new entry in Bargain Alerts saying how great a deal it is and someone will still buy it at that price
