When I’m choosing skincare, scent plays an important part in my decision-making process – I prefer products that smell good. Unfortunately, products that work well are not necessarily fragrant.
One of the best-smelling (and most effective) moisturisers I have come across is Kenzoki Belle de Jour Fantastic Fluid. The latest addition to the brand’s anti-ageing Belle de Jour line, it has a faint, powdery scent that relaxes my senses. At first, I thought the scent might be a product of synthetic notes, but I was surprised to find out that it hails from the main ingredient itself – white lotus.
The fluid, a lighter take on the brand’s Belle de Jour for a Face in Heaven cream, has a more serum-like texture than that of a typical moisturiser. I’ve been using it for three weeks and my skin seems softer and more radiant. It’s now one of my go-to daytime moisturisers, because it leaves my skin feeling smooth and doesn’t pill under makeup. Bonus: This greatsmelling product doesn’t just calm my senses – it reduces the redness of my blotchy skin too.
