Skincare (Face): The Heritage Icons
If there’s a holy trinity of luxury skincare, it’s La Mer and Estée Lauder. These are the products I come back to again and again. The ones that started it all for me.
I genuinely cannot say enough about this moisturizer. The texture, the way it melts into skin, I am completely obsessed! This is the one I reach for when my skin needs to look its absolute best, and it never lets me down. If you’re going to splurge o...
Crème de la Mer™ Moisturizing Cream
I got a sample of this and have been gushing over it ever since. The texture is unlike anything I’ve ever felt! So rich, so indulgent, absorbs beautifully. The under-eye area is one of the first things that shows up in photos and I fully trust La Mer...
The Eye Concentrate | La Mer's Best Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream
I use this religiously and I will never stop! The way my skin feels in the morning after a full night with this serum is something I genuinely look forward to. Smoother, brighter, just better. It’s been a staple in my routine for a reason and one of ...
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Multi-Recovery Complex Serum with Hyaluronic Acid & Peptides
The serum has a dedicated eye cream companion and yes, I use both! I love the lightweight texture. It doesn’t pill under anything, absorbs fast, and my eye area looks noticeably more awake consistently. I’m a loyal customer for life. This one is also...
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Gel-Cream for Dark Circles
I love this lip balm so much! It’s rich without being heavy and the subtle Jo Malone scent makes it feel like such a treat every time you use it. Also the most accessible entry point into the Jo Malone world, which makes it my go-to gift when I want ...
Jo Malone Vitamin E Lip Conditioner
Chanel skincare doesn’t get talked about enough and I will die on that hill! The Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum delivers the kind of plump, dewy hydration that makes your skin look like it’s lit from within. The packaging is so beautiful it belongs on disp...
Chanel's Hydra Beauty Micro Serum
Skincare (Face): The New Luxury
Augustinus Bader is what happens when decades of stem cell research meets seriously luxurious skincare. I’m in love with this brand and the results speak for themselves. This is the next generation of quiet luxury!
If you’ve heard beauty editors gushing over a single moisturizer for the past few years, this is the one they’re talking about! Powered by AB’s patented TFC8 technology, it does everything. Hydration, firmness, brightness, all in one step. Victoria B...
Augustinus Bader The Cream
Think of this as The Cream’s overachieving older sibling! I love that it pairs so seamlessly with the rest of the AB line, but it also works beautifully layered under anything else in your routine. The glow it delivers is the kind people ask you abou...
Augustinus Bader The Serum
Body Care
Body care is where quiet luxury really lives, in my opinion. The ritual of it, the scent, the texture. This is self-care in its most elevated form!
Everything I love about the Crème de la Mer, now for your body! The Miracle Broth that makes the face moisturizer iconic is in here too, and your skin feels unreal after. If you want to feel truly luxurious from head to toe, this is how you do it!
La Mer The Reparative Body Lotion
I am so here for Augustinus Bader expanding into body care because of course they nailed it! This body cream firms, smooths, and hydrates while smelling like the most refined floral you’ve ever encountered. Not overwhelming, just perfectly elegant. A...
Augustinus Bader The Geranium Rose Body Cream
This looks like such a worthy addition to any body care routine. The lightweight but nourishing formula and subtle botanical scent make it the perfect finishing touch — and a splurge I have my eye on.
Sisley-Paris Velvet Nourishing Body Cream with Saffron Flowers
Bath & Shower
The bath and shower step is where I think quiet luxury is most underrated. The right products make the whole ritual feel intentional and indulgent, not just functional!
I simply adore this scrub! The texture, the scent, the way your skin feels after is just incomparable. It turns a regular shower into a full spa moment and I think about it every time I use it. Also one of the most beautiful gifts you could give some...
Jo Malone London™ Vitamin E Body Treatment Scrub
Jo Malone bath oil is the definition of a luxury ritual! You pour it in, the scent fills the entire room, and you emerge feeling like you just paid for a spa day. I am always recommending this to people and it is consistently one of the most impressi...
Jo Malone Red Roses Bath Oil
There is something about using a Chanel shower gel that just sets the tone for the entire day! The No. 5 scent is iconic for a reason. Timeless, feminine, instantly recognizable. This is the kind of item that feels wildly indulgent but is actually on...
Chanel N°5 The Shower Gel
Fragrance
I’m particular about fragrance. It has to be the kind of scent that stays with you without announcing itself. These three are exactly that!
If quiet luxury had a signature scent, I think it would be this one! Soft, feminine, sophisticated without trying too hard. I am absolutely obsessed with the way it wears on skin. It’s the fragrance I recommend most when people ask me what to get som...
Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede Cologne
For the fragrance lover who wants something truly special and niche, Byredo is the answer! This one is opulent and dramatic in the best way. A floral depth that feels nothing like anything you’d find at a department store counter. I am gushing over t...
Casablanca Lily Night Veils Extrait de Parfum
This one is on my list for a reason — warm, woody, and just distinct enough to feel personal. The fig and sandalwood blend sounds effortlessly sophisticated without trying too hard.
