The French are known for many things, cuisine, haute couture, and perfumery among them. While I can drool over the first and dream about the second, it's the third that I'm most interested in. In fact, I have an entire dresser drawer devoted to storing my favorite fragrances—many of which are French. Think of modern classics like YSL's Libre ($95) and Dyptique's Eau Rose ($230)...

Well, I have a new one to add to my collection. Recently, the famous French brand, Sézane, dropped a signature scent. As a beauty editor and lover of French perfumes, I was dying to get my hands on a bottle as soon as I heard the news. Do you blame me? Sèzane is iconic, and if the scent was anything like its effortless fashion essentials, I knew I'd be obsessed with it. Spoiler alert: I am. The light, fresh, and flowery scent is so delicate and sophisticated that I can't stop spritzing it. Keep scrolling to see my new favorite French girl fragrance.
