L'Occitane en Provence Eau du Badian is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1999. Eau du Badian opens with Grapefruit, Blackcurrant, and Basil, settles into a heart of Star Anise, Coriander, and Fig, and dries down to a base of Mate and Sage. L'Occitane en Provence's Eau du Badian carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A warm-weather wonder that's sadly vaulted, Eau du Badian is a divisive mix of fresh citrus and potent anise. It's got fans for its cooling effect in the heat, but others find that liquorice kick a bit much. If you can find it, it's a unique summer spritzer.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opens with a zesty burst of grapefruit and green basil, sharp and invigorating. This bright beginning quickly gives way to the intriguing heart, where a prominent star anise note takes centre stage, softened by hints of fig and coriander. The dry down is an earthy, herbal embrace of mate and sage, leaving a subtly warm and comforting trail that lingers beautifully on a hot day.
