Housed in the brand’s [seasonal gift box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-collection1), the assortment offers a ready-to-gift approach to maintaining soft, moisturized hands throughout the colder months. Leading the collection is L'Occitane’s bestselling 'Shea Butter Hand Cream,' a rich formula designed to nourish and help protect hands from dryness. The 'Amande Sublime Hand Cream' adds a softening formula accompanied by the line’s characteristic almond notes. From there, the set moves through a diverse fragrance palette as 'Verveine' provides a crisp, fresh profile, while 'Lavande' introduces aromatic herbal notes. Meanwhile, 'Rose' contributes a classic floral character, and 'Fleurs de Cerisier,' or 'Cherry Blossom,' rounds out the selection with a delicate floral scent. Additionally, each formula comes in a portable 30 mL tube, allowing the collection to function as a complete hand care assortment or as individual gifts throughout the [holiday season](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highend-skincare-holiday-kits).
