ORANGE BLOSSOM: A CONVENT TRADITION
Since the 14th century, Orange Blossom Floral Water, also called Eau de Naphe (the Provençal name for the orange tree) has been known, distilled and used by many convents in the south of France. In this form, or as an ingredient in a balm or ointment, it soothes, heals and softens the skin.

Later, at the Couvent des Minimes, this tradition was enriched by knowledge and expertise passed on to the Missionary Sisters by the Moroccan women they met during their frequent missions abroad.

Le Couvent des Minimes has continued this tradition of using Orange Blossom to care for the skin by creating its Orange Blossom Recipe.

This delicious, luminous scent, with Orange Blossom essential oil, captures the fragrant atmosphere of springtime walks through fields of Mediterranean orange trees. It delightfully evokes the smell of holidays, childhood memories and grandmothers' delicious treats…

Two other original formulas, made with Mediterranean Orange Blossom softening extract and aromatic essential oil, pay homage to this ancestral tradition.

• Gently cleanse Skin Softening Shower Gel - An "orange syrup" texture that transforms into a fine lather in the shower.
• Skin Softening Body Cream - A rich, smooth, rapidly absorbed cream with "Fresh effect" Mint Extract. Beyond bodycare, an irresistle way to perfume the skin.
