Updated on Friday, December 6, 2024: L’Occitane typically offers one of its biggest sales of the year right after the holiday season. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming sale, including when it starts, what kind of discounts to expect, and tips for making the most of it.
When Does the Sale Start and End?
The event is expected to kick off on December 26, 2024, both online at loccitane.com and at all L’Occitane boutiques in the United States. This is a limited-time event that will likely last through January 10, 2025.
If you’re planning to shop, it’s best to act quickly, as popular items tend to sell out early. Seasonal favorites, limited-edition gift sets, and best-sellers often see the steepest discounts, making them a high priority for shoppers.
What Discounts Can You Expect?
During the After Christmas Sale, L’Occitane is expected to offer discounts of up to 50% off on select items. While the specific list of discounted products hasn’t been released yet, we can make some educated guesses based on past sales. Here’s what you might see on sale:
Seasonal Beauty Favorites
- Holiday gift sets and limited-edition scents are often featured during this event. These items typically come in festive packaging and include multiple products bundled together at a discounted price. Look for collections that include L’Occitane’s iconic Almond Shower Oil, Shea Butter Hand Cream, or Verbena products.
Skincare and Body Care Staples
- Best-selling items like the Immortelle Precious Cream, Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream, and the Almond Milk Concentrate are often included in the sale. Discounts on these products can vary, but they’re usually marked down by 20-50%, depending on the item.
Fragrance and Home Items
- L’Occitane’s fragrances and home collections are also likely to be part of the sale. Candles, room sprays, and personal fragrances such as the Verbena Eau de Toilette and Cherry Blossom Eau de Toilette might see price reductions of up to 30% off.
Gifts with Purchase
One of the standout features of this sale is the opportunity to pick up a free gift with a qualifying purchase. Last year, customers who spent $120 or more received a complimentary gift set featuring travel-sized versions of some of L’Occitane’s most popular products. These included:
- Immortelle Precious Cream
- White Lavender Soothing Hand Cream
- Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-In Serum
- Shea Ultra Rich Lip Balm
To claim the free gift, shoppers had to enter the promo code BEAUTY24 at checkout. While it hasn’t been confirmed yet, a similar offer is likely to return this year.
Terms to Keep in Mind
Before you dive into the sale, there are a few important details to consider:
- Final Sale Items: All discounted products are typically sold as “final sale,” meaning they cannot be returned or exchanged. Make sure you’re confident about your selections before completing your purchase.
- Availability: The sale is only available to U.S. customers, and items are offered on a while-supplies-last basis. Once popular products sell out, they’re gone for good, so it’s a good idea to shop early.
- Restrictions on Free Gift Offers:
- The free gift with purchase is usually limited to one per customer.
- You’ll need to meet the minimum purchase requirement of $120 or more to qualify.
- The promo code (or its 2024 equivalent) must be applied at checkout for online purchases, and the offer may not be available at all retail locations.
