While some sweetly-scented body washes might remind you of your favourite dessert, we generally don’t recommend licking your soapy limbs mid-shower!
Fortunately, cult French beauty brand L’Occitane has partnered with iconic Aussie bakery Black Star Pastry to deliver the next best thing: a limited-edition L'Amande cake, that is literally good enough to eat!
Drawing inspiration from L’Occitane’s indulgent Almond Shower Oil and its mouth-watering aroma of toasted nuts and vanilla, the maker of Australia’s most Instagrammed dessert (helmed by Head Pastry Chef, Arnaud Vodounou) has swapped watermelon, strawberry and rose petals to create a sweet treat that combines layers of sweet almond mousse and savoy sponge with touches of orange and bergamot, pear and rosemary compote, almond frangipane with crushed almond pieces and almond sable. All topped with the kind of luxe golden glaze that typically resembles your skin after a good soak in the skin care range which inspired the collaboration.
Don’t have a sweet tooth? Treat a friend to a slice and keep the complimentary travel-sized Almond Shower Oil (that comes with the purchase of each 'L'Amande Cake' at all Black Star Pastry stores across both Sydney and Melbourne during this weekend-only release) all to yourself!
From Friday, August 16 to Sunday, August 18 you can enjoy a complimentary travel-size Almond Shower Oil (35mL) with the purchase of ‘L’Amande’ cake at all Black Star Pastry stores across both Sydney and Melbourne. Cakes are also available to pre-order online, here.
