An interactive L’Occitane store pop-up opened its doors inside Singapore's Ion Orchard shopping center for a limited time last year. The pop-up's theme was a cafe that aimed to bring the experience of Provence to an Asian market and embodied the beauty brand's French-themed aesthetic while incorporating Instagram-friendly elements throughout.
Featuring a beauty-inspired bakery bar, the cafe activation served up a menu of delicious desserts that were made using ingredients synonymous with L'Occitane's premium products -- from verbena and cherry blossom to rose, almond and bergamot.
In addition to sampling a menu of tasty desserts, visitors of this pop-up got a chance to sample skincare products while "learning the stories of harvesters who cultivate the precious raw ingredients that go into each jar or bottle."
