L’Occitane pop-up in KL
As much as we love the convenience of online shopping, nothing beats visiting a physical store to experience products for ourselves.
Joining the wave of beauty pop-ups – which have been gaining popularity around the world – L’Occitane is hosting a hotel concept pop-up at Pavilion Bukit Jalil. This event opens from now till 11th June 2023, with an essential oil bar and flower projection room that’ll transport you to another dimension of sensory delights.
Indulge in spa experiences & explore interactive zones
Located in Pavilion Bukit Jalil, L’Occitane’s new beauty pop-up is an immersive event where you can experience the brand with on-the-spot product trials, expert beauty advice, and interactive nature-themed projections.
When you arrive at the pop-up, a friendly staff member will assist you in checking-in through an entry form accessible by QR code. Upon completing registration, you will be granted exclusive access to seven crafted sections, each comprising a unique experience.
The first section, called Almond Spa, has a digital projection zone that’ll transport visitors to the almond forest in Valensole, France, where L’Occitane’s Almond Oil Factory is situated. The brand has replanted over 18,000 trees since 2012 to give back to nature, as almonds are a core ingredient in their beauty products.
Visitors can plant their own virtual almond tree and witness it blossom into a fully grown tree on a screen – complete with name signs to mark your tree.
At this zone, you can also explore L’Occitane’s popular Almond series made up of products such as Almond Milk Concentrate and Almond Shower Scrub. A beauty advisor will carefully explain the benefits of each product while you try them out.
These products will leave your hands feeling soft and supple.
The next section is the 5 Essential Oil Bar. This beauty bar is where guests can enjoy a Scalp & Hair diagnosis provided by professional beauty advisors. They’ll also offer customised recommendations on revitalising your hair, and give tips on combating hair-related issues such as hair loss and dandruff.
The best part? The entire experience is free.
You can also try out some of L’Occitane’s essential oil-infused products at this section, such as the 5 Essential Oils Purifying Freshness Shampoo and the much-loved 5 Essential Oils Night Scalp Serum. Both are specially formulated to address various hair concerns such as hair fall and oily scalp.
For RM15, you can order a beverage at the bar to sip on during your hair and scalp diagnosis. There’s a selection of juice blends to choose from by Beutea, such as the Sunny Sip, Lavender Twist, and the popular Minty Wonderland, consisting of soda water, lime, mint leaves, and sour plum.
Digital projections of flowers & free samples
Another unique experience at this pop-up is the Corsican Room that’ll surround you with Immortelle flowers, which is the key ingredient in their skincare range. Step inside the darkened room and be transported to the mesmerising landscape of Corsica in France.
See vibrant blooms come alive through disc-shaped digital projections, on the floor of a mirrored room.
Another highlight is the retail section, which awaits you at the end of your journey at the pop-up. You’ll find a plethora of L’Occitane care products for the skin, body, and hair, as well as fragrances, to purchase here.
Complete your exploration of the pop-up and receive a complimentary sample kit consisting of five L’Occitane products, including the popular Divine Youth Cleansing Foam and 5 Essential Oils Gentle & Balance Micellar Shampoo.
