Entering this new chapter, L'Occitane unveils a global reinvention of its brand, product collections, and customer experience, while bringing its purpose of "Crafting Life Ties" to life through meaningful local activations, including the "Maison Surprise" campaign in Malaysia.

From Provençal Soil to a Global Beauty Maison
"The day L'Occitane en Provence was born, there was an alembic, a fire, some rosemary, and many doubts... I did not create a company - I made a gesture." — Olivier Baussan, Founder

Founded in 1976 by Olivier Baussan, L'Occitane began with the simple distillation of rosemary essential oil, sold at markets in Haute‑Provence. What started as a humble, instinctive gesture rooted in respect for nature has grown into a global beauty brand present in over 90 countries, with more than 3,000 points of sale and 8,500 employees worldwide.

For five decades, L'Occitane has built its identity on meaningful ties - between plants and people, craftsmanship and science, Provence and the world. From Lavender and Shea Butter to Almond and Immortelle, the Maison continues to transform natural ingredients into sensorial, effective, and responsible beauty experiences.

2026: A Pivotal Year of Reinvention
As it celebrates 50 years, L'Occitane enters a new era defined by creative renewal, product transformation, and cultural expression.

"Half a century ago, L'Occitane was born from a simple gesture... Today, we look ahead with pride and excitement for what we will continue to build." — Adrien Geiger, CEO, L'Occitane en Provence

Reimagining the Brand and Creative Vision
Rooted in the dual heritage of nature and culture, L'Occitane reinterprets its Provençal identity through:

• A renewed creative direction across campaigns and retail
  
• A deeper dialogue with art and cultural expression
  
• The launch of initiatives such as the Prix Cultures, supporting emerging creative talents linked to Provence
  

In parallel, Founder Olivier Baussan unveils a new book, sharing a poetic reflection on the human and sensory journey behind the Maison's origins.

This commitment focuses on strengthening:
