Frankly, after reading some of the reviews and shelling out $110 for this L'Occitane Immortelle Divine Cream, I expected it to be wonderful and that I'd absolutely love it.
That wasn't my experience, though. For starters, the HEAVILY perfumed scent was very unappealing to me with my first use. I don't insist on only unscented facial creams and usually expect at least some underlying scent in most beauty products that I buy. However, this is by no means an "underlying" scent with the Immortelle Divine Cream. Instead, the strong perfume hits you as soon as you remove the lid. Fortunately, the heavy scent doesn't seem to last more than a few minutes after applying it to my face. Or at least I didn't notice the strong smell after a few minutes. My skin can sometimes react negatively to heavily fragranced skincare products, but I experienced no breakouts with the Immortelle Divine Cream.
As far as the anti-aging benefits, I haven't noticed any difference in three months of use. In fairness, I always use high quality facial creams and serums, so it's unlikely to register the same improvement in a situation like that as opposed to someone who uses few, if any, high-end beauty products. My skin texture neither improved nor worsened, although I did notice that my skin wasn't quite as dewy or glowing with this cream as it is with some other night creams.
What I DO like about it? It seems to last a bit longer than similarly sized jars of other creams. I think this is because a smaller amount seems to go further when smoothing onto your face. It has a bit of an oily texture going on, so my face would be a greasy mess if I used the amount I'd normally use. The result is that a little 1.7 oz jar is lasting longer than usual. This would be great if it happened to be a night cream that I loved.
This L'Occitane Immortelle Divine Cream works best used only as a night cream. For several hours, my skin is left with a greasiness from it that doesn't work with any daytime makeup application. It's fine for daytime when I'm going without makeup, but most days I apply at least a light dusting of bareMinerals powder. The powder just thickly gums up on my skin when I tried to apply it over this cream, even if I wait for a half hour or so. And liquid foundation just sort of disappears and doesn't adhere to my skin.
I'm always concerned about high-end beauty products possibly being counterfeit and I specifically avoid buying them if they're far below the normal purchase price or have slight differences in packaging. My little jar arrived in original box with all of the safety seals, including the pretty embossed gold foil inner seal. The expiration date on mine wasn't great -- due to expire 2-3 months after my date of receipt. I'd actually intended to send it back for a refund after I noticed that, but time got away from me and by the time I went to do it, it was after Amazon's 30-day return policy.
Bottom line, this cream does as well as any of my other favorite night creams in the $50-80 range. If you don't mind the strong perfume scent or paying extra for a cream that doesn't seem to do anything special, you might be happy with it.

Shannon's Favorite things
I am 30 years old and I decided it was time to start taking good care of my skin! I use this product daily along with L'occitane Youth Oil. My skin is glowing! I have been using Divine Cream daily since February! It's worth the money! For toner I use Kiehl's Cucumber Herbal Alcohol Free Toner. At night I use Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate. I also do not wear make-up!
