And since I've been strolling through the L'Occitane webpage for that colleague of mine here... I went onto the UK page as there is none for Switzerland and you can order some samples there. Here you go:

You can also subscribe to their newsletter (as far as I know either mail or email, I get their mail) and you definitely don't get flooded with info, but you do get vouchers every now and then. :) Been VERY useful to me so far. Heeheeh.

I'm off to explore their hair products a little further.
