Oh that’s too bad. I’ve only recently discovered the greatness that is Yves Rocher products and am enjoying them thoroughly. RIP, Monsieur Rocher, and thank you for creating products and a brand that celebrates your creativity and passion and allowing us to experience them.
It’s definitely one of the better low cost brands. Was very surprised to learn he got his start w/ a hemorrhoid cream!
I did not know he got his start that way. I can remember using Yves Rocher products a few times over the years, from his skincare to a few of his fragrances. Shopping in his catalogs was always fun.
I buy a load of stuff every so often when they have a sale
I can’t speak for the skin care, but they’ve had some really terrific scents over the years–Clea (aldehydic floral), Cantata (gourmand), Samarkande (sexy oriental), and Nature Millennaire pour Homme (the smell of fall) are sadly discontinued, but Secrets d’Essences Voile D’Ambre and Cocoon are still available, and lots of people love the other two scents in the Secrets line, Rose Absolue and Iris Noir.
Yes, they make some great scents for the price. I still need to try the jasmine in the Secrets d’Essences line.
