l'Occitane: are Provence and Bresil affiliated?

Found some lovely smelling gift sets of Bresil which would be good for Christmas presents if they are real, but can't find them on the l'Occitane site.....are they actually affiliated/of comparable quality?
Thanks

I saw these in a perfume shop the other day - I think they are passing off as l'occitane.

I found this www.brazilbeautynews.com/l-occitane-to-open-first-factory-in-brazil,2023 which suggests that it a genuine product....but no customer focussed website..at least none in English!.
The pace I saw them also had Provence stuff which made me think it may be real.....

Weird! Well there you go! Maybe they are still just testing the line out here hence reasonable price

It is genuine, the items were made for the Olympics in 2016. How much are they charging? There was an online shop selling them for a pound per item.

Here is the HUKD thread about them.

I'd seen the pound shop online one but saw these sets in a shop (some bargain chain) 6 items for £7 in a gift bag. They smelled lovely but I didn't dare risk it for gifts in case they were dodgy. I'll go back and have a look: knowing my luck they'll be sold out by the weekend!

They'll be buying them at discount/ in bulk and repackaging them. There were some sets on eBay too. Great value for what you're getting.

Can you let us know the name of the shop when you go please? We were trying to buy some for a charity event but didn't want the numbers needed to get the discount. We make up Christmas gifts for vulnerable people, these would be lovely.
