Eau des 4 Voleurs

I got in touch with L'Occitane's customer care in France asking if by any chance they would re-release it and they said that Eau des 4 Voleurs will be available again in a limited edition by the end of October 2016. I had also asked about a possible re-release of Eau du Contadour (which is one of the best fragrances they have ever made, IMO) but they didn't say anything that if it will come out again :/ Let's wait until October 2016 to get our hands back on this stunning fragrance.

This perfume, is , as much I know discontinued. If anyone knows where I could still get it I be very greatfull. I get 5 bottles at one ;-) Thanks

My father wore this and I loved it so much. It reminded me of him before he switched to D&G's Light Blue por homme. I still miss him wearing it!

I used to own a bottle of this one after a salesperson in one of the L'Occitane boutiques convinced me it smelled much better than whatever I went to buy that was unavailable. I actually still own the bottle, but it never grew on me and, when the atomizer jammed, I took it as a celestial sign that the juice was not made for me. So I used it to add some scent to the water in the humidifiers across the flat, you know those porcelain vessels you hang on radiators to keep the air healthily moist, until during one of those time I accidentally spilled most of it. I then filled the rest of the bottle with water and that was the end of the scent, so take this review at face value. The opening was a powdery bed of herbs, made just slighlty more sparkling by a shadow of citrusy notes, with a strong pencil-like cedar coming across immediately and adding to the powdery effect. I've never smelled the juniper as such, which I always associate more to gin smell, and I felt it was more akin to a similar shrub (myrtle), which is slightly sweeter, less refreshing but darker. In a way this scent reminds me of fog, foggy days, rain, even without any vetiver. The herbal, almost medicinal, side of Eau des 4 Voleurs is the aspect that still strikes me when I smell the cap - it feels like a medieval herbarium or a scriptorium with monks drawing/preparing herbs, or something to that effect, and it's not by mistake that on the label you can read "A legend of Occitania, treasured since the 15th century". For what I remember, the sillage was moderate, but the longevity pretty poor. I wish I still had it as now I kind of appreciate woodsy/herbal scents and, while basically unwearable in normal situation, it would have been a good companion for meditation, yoga or just visit old monasteries in the woods. The brown 100ml L'Occitane bottle bears the batch code 8660189 which means it was manufactured in April 2009 (consistent with the EXP: 2012/04 note etched next to the batch code). Terrible flimsy cap and incredibly unreliable trashy atomiser, which unfortunately didn't change over the years (I have a bottle of Eau de Cedrat which is similarly trashy). Almost a decent like.

Not a fan of Juniper berries I'm afraid. I have disliked every fragrance I have owned with this note so far. That being said if any one is interested in buying (or swapping) a nearly full bottle of this please PM me. Bear in mind this stuff is rare and difficult to find so serious offers only please.
