One of the Officine’s classics, this extra-fine body lotion, as light as it is effective, is inspired by timeless beauty secrets; it softens the skin, evens out the complexion, and envelopes you in layers of sacred sandalwood, enlivened with cardamom and patchouli.
Description
Its excellent reputation rests on its ideal balance between balmy perfume and lightness. An interest in the milky way is nothing new. Bathed in milk, Cleopatra, Poppaea Sabina and Diane de Poitiers immersed themselves in its virtues in various forms to cultivate their beauty. Light and incomparably gentle, Lait Virginal confers a healthy spirit in a hydrated body. In 1826, Jean-Vincent Bully created this Lait Virginal, which was then brought up to date by the Officine with natural ingredients.
THE GREAT BENEFIT
Once applied, Lait Virginal is quickly absorbed by the skin, leaving no sticky feeling, so you can slip into your evening gown, pants or other daytime outfit straight away.
Scent
Al Kassir is the scent of Oriental shores as 19th-century scholars dreamt them and explorers found them: At the heart of the perfume lies sandalwood, a sacred tree in India and in the Middle East for millennia: a ‘gift from the gods’, believed to stimulate the opening of the third eye chakra. In Ancient Egypt, sandalwood was a key component of Kyphi, or Kapet, a sacred fragrance used to honour Sun god Râ.
Like the riches buried in the Valley of the Kings, Eau Triple Al Kassir invites us to possession. An intoxicating and sumptuous parade, led by cardamom, the most beloved of oriental spices, cinnamon, ginger, clove, and highlighted by the fresh rosy touch of geranium, the voluptuous roundness of patchouli and sensual hints of osmanthus flower, flamboyant with honey and leather.
Now we are approaching the inner sanctum of the gods, with supremely mystical, precious resins and woods, smouldering, everlasting embers: Manilla elemi, a lemony oleoresin, amber- and vanilla-scented cistus and benzoin, on a perfect woody fire of cedar, gaiac, and gurjan wood.
Advice for Use & Care
Apply Lait Virginal vigorously onto freshly-washed skin, working your way up from feet to neckline, and from hand to shoulder, up to the nape and neck. Finish by massaging the earlobes.
Composition
Lait Virginal softens the skin and evens out the complexion, in particular thanks to the vegetable glycerine and the synergy of natural emollients.
