Everyone in Paris Smells So Good, and This $26 Scent on Amazon Is Responsible

If you'd prefer a floral take on the iconic French staple, reach for this iteration instead. Or snag them both, so you're covered no matter your mood.

Formulated with precious cells of edelweiss and natural hyaluronic acid (obtained through unique botanical biotechnology), this potent anti-aging serum helps tighten the skin while simultaneously targeting wrinkles and dark spots. 

We promise there's no lip balm as decadent and highly reparative as this French favorite. It boasts a powerhouse blend of honey, botanical oils, and propolis—a rare, highly medicinal material made by bees to stave off germs and unwanted hive invaders. This lush, melty balm smells like grapefruit (lightly zingy) and is the best anytime pick-me-up for dry, stressed-out lips.

Rich and velvety, this beloved anti-aging nighttime moisturizer drips with a dynamic foursome of natural-origin ingredients (saffron, bougainvillea bifloral cells, prickly pear, and organic poppy-petal extract), so you'll wake up to plumper, more radiant skin. We also go nuts for the elevated sandalwood and white-floral scent.

If you're on the drier side or have mature skin, you'll want to try this skin-cocooning oil-balm hybrid. Rich in antioxidants, it uses key ingredients like jasmine flower and macadamia oil to soften and rebalance the skin. Apply it at night as the last step in your routine, and you'll reap the visible benefits come morning. 

Think of this as your fave ChapStick but way more sophisticated and transformative. The expert mix of honey, precious botanical oils (rice bran, macadamia, argan, and sweet almond), barley extract, shea butter, vitamin E, and sunflower couldn't be more luxe and will become a daily staple.

This soothing cleansing gel is the ultimate antidote for stubborn makeup removal and sensitive skin that's craving an extra dose of TLC. Key ingredients include honey, sunflower, coconut, and allantoin.

This dark circle–erasing eye cream is so popular that it's currently sold out on Nuxe's USA website. However, fear not—we played detective and found an alternate retailer you can shop above. 

Here it is—the most iconic micellar water in all the land. We love it because it's affordable without sacrificing quality, it's especially ideal for the most sensitive of skin (even those with rosacea), and it effectively cleans skin and removes stubborn makeup with no rinse necessary. The formula contains fatty acid esters—the constituent elements of micelles—that mimic the phospholipids of skin cell membranes, which help repair the skin's hydrolipidic film. You're getting so many skin benefits with just one buy, so don't sleep on this French best seller.

Everyone and their mother (aka beauty lovers, editors, celebrities, and makeup artists) hoard this iconic French face cream from Embryolisse. It might be a controversial statement, but we liken it to an actually affordable dupe for Augustinus Bader's famed formula. If you're after that ineffable dewy-yet-clean skin aesthetic, you're looking at it.

Our editor is pretty much convinced their skin has become addicted to this best-selling French toner because it looks haggard when she forgets to dose her complexion with it. It's alcohol-free, hydrating, and composed of 99% ingredients of natural origin, soaking the skin with the solar-charged magic of five essential oils that help tone, detox, and re-energize lackluster skin. 

Talika's bio-enzymes masks are legend, and this brightening one is our extra-special favorite and personal secret weapon before events or big nights out. Saturated with luxe ingredients like vitamin C, aloe, grapefruit, and chamomile, it's the perfect thing to pre-game your face with.

We hate having dry, cracked hands but also hate greasy fingers that oil up laptops, phones, and hair. Therefore, this French favorite has become our saving grace. It melts into the skin quickly, so you're not left with any greasy aftermath, and it's also one of the few formulas that keep the skin hydrated and soft through multiple hand washes. Glycerin and shea butter are the MVPs.

This top-rated vitamin C serum is an antioxidant powerhouse and a comparably affordable no-brainer for anyone who wants brighter, more even skin.

We've tried hundreds of face creams, from $15 to $900 (yep, they exist), and this is one of our all-time favorites, especially during the steamier months when we try to steer clear of ultra-heavy or rich formulas. This one from the French brand Avène has been a true miracle for our editors' skin. It keeps the complexion balanced and dewy, and it has the added benefit of making makeup and foundation look absolutely stellar. We can't recommend it enough.

Yes, you should be wearing sunscreen all 365 days a year, and yes, this is the one formula that wins award after award and is inside every single beauty editor's skin kit. 

We can count on our fingers the number of clean, naturally formulated dry shampoos we can actually depend on to refresh our strands sans off-putting smells or residues. This top-rated pick from beloved French brand Klorane easily gets the job done, leaving strands soft, detoxified, and fresh smelling, all while superstar ingredient oat milk encourages optimal hair nourishment.
