This French Perfume Makes Me Smell Like a Delicate Water Nymph (and It’s Only $65)

Notes: Italian mandarin, lemon, neroli, water jasmine, peony, white musk

This scent belongs to the “fresh floral” or “aquatic floral” category of fragrances. Notes of neroli, water jasmine, and peony lend a delicate, watery essence to the scent. A subtle fruitiness from Italian mandarin and lemon comes through next, followed by a grounding note of white musk.

One spritz of this perfume makes me feel like I’m sitting next to a lush, garden-side pond in the French countryside. Flowers bloom around me, koi fish circle slowly underwater, and the sun warms the ground beneath me. It’s no wonder I told a co-worker that it makes me feel like a “delicate water nymph.”

While I tend to reach for warmer, heavier, and slightly smokier scents in the fall and winter, I’ll make an exception for L’Eau Sézane. The ultra-delicate floral fragrance is too fresh and sophisticated not to. It’s my new favorite French girl fragrance.

Ooh la la. How pretty are these delicate, floral patterned socks? I’m planning on pairing them with heels and loafers to lend my outfits a chic pop of color.

While the original Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse ($28) is well worth your time and money, I’m embracing the French garden and water-nymph vibes with this floral version. It has a soft, fresh, and flowery scent that reminds me a little bit of the Sézane scent.

It also comes in a shimmering version for even more nymph-like vibes.

I use this French lip oil almost every day. It uses squalane, jojoba oil, and vitamin E to hydrate the lips while giving them a sheer wash of color and a non-sticky shine.

This lip balm is so lightweight and moisturizing. Its soft rose scent is just a bonus.

A skin cream that never fails to moisturize and soothe red, irritated skin.

This iconic moisturizer multi-tasks as a makeup primer and skin-soothing mask.

Speaking of a garden aesthetic, this scarf fits the bill. Wear it in your hair, around your neck, or tie it to the handle of your handbag. It’s the chicest accessory.

Here’s the makeup-removing micellar water almost every expert counts on.

I’m snagging a bottle of this shower oil before the cold weather hits. It effectively cleanses my skin while soothing irritation and maintaining moisture levels.

After getting out of the shower, apply this moisturizing balm to your body. True to the name, it melts into the skin, providing softness, smoothness, and hydration.
