I have it: 13 I want it: 24
The story that follows the new collection launched by L'Occitane this spring begins in this beautiful French small town which mixes the scents of the mountain region with beneficial breezes from the French Riviera. This extraordinary collection offers four fragrances inspired by nature, landscapes and the atmosphere characteristic of Southern France.
The new collection La Collection de Grasse was created by founder of L'Occitane, Olivier Baussan and perfumer Karine Dubreuil. Scents of Provence were tastefully transferred to four beautiful compositions: Vanille & Narcisse, Magnolia & Mure, Jasmine & Bergamote and The Vert & Bigarade (the only unisex).
The collection is available in massive glass flacons as 75ml EDT each, accompanied with perfumed body care products among which you can choose: body milk 175 ml, bath 175 ml and soaps 125 g. The Vert & Bigarade was launched in 2013.

I thought I get back The Vert au Jasmin, but I changed my mind. The Vert & Bigarade smells so fresh, youthful, I think I like it even more than Dior Escale a Portofino. This is a wonderful solution for the summer. Lasted 2-3 hours, which is not bad, I love to reapply in summer.
edit/and after 6 hours still to feel on the skin
The Vert & Bigarade is my favorite Green Tea centered fragrance to date. The tea is crisp and smooth, never bitter.
The bitter orange is not strong at all, and merely acts as a stage hand to round out the fullness of the refreshing green tea. I hardly notice it. This one is more of a single note fragrance than the original The Vert which has a very prominent lemon especially in the opening. I strongly prefer The Vert & Bigarade to the original. It is what The Vert should have been.
I don’t know how it compares to Elizabeth Arden’s green tea collection, but as far as tea fragrances go, I think I actually also prefer TV&B to L’Artisan’s The Pour un Ete, though it's lovely in its own right, and also features a green tea accented by citrus. The Pour un Ete starts off with a sweeter and more gentle lemon than the lemon tea combo in The Vert, and the dry down of The Pour un Ete is a more prominently jasmine-green tea.
The Verte & Bigarade stays pretty linear on my skin: Straight sparkling smooth green tea all the way. I might drink it. It has very good longevity for a green tea fragrance. Applied in early evening, I can still smell it on my skin the following morning. It’s projection is average. The dry down smells like rich matcha green tea. Great job, L'Occitane!
I love to layer this translucent light green scent with Pacifica’s Island Vanilla to make a matcha green tea ice cream fragrance. Wonderfully simple and well done. Great for casual daily wear as with most green tea fragrances (and L’Occitane fragrances for that matter). Do not say that green tea has been done to death before trying this one out.
I tried this on the other day at the store and fell in love with it. It smells like a citrus green tea. After it dries down i can catch a whiff of light musk. I keep thinking about it so I am going to have go back and buy it darn it. Love it.
Update: not only did i buy it but got the lotion too. I get compliements when folks get a whiff of this scent.
