French Girls Love This Legendary Brand's Fragrances—Here Are the Best Ones

French style is just so effortless and chic. They're almost always dressed impeccably and sophisticated but look like they barely even tried. When I try to pull that off, I tend to look like either A) I tried too hard, or B) I'm a total poser. I like to think of my style as a mysterious aura, so I have to work my way up to that.

It turns out a lot of us are trying to mimic French-girl style. We've written about how to copy what they wear. We've detailed their makeup and skincare routines. We've looked at how they style and cut their hair. And we've discussed how they decorate their homes. But what about—and this is totally meant in a non-creepy way—how they smell? What are their favorite fragrances and perfumes that they turn to over and over again?
