Embryolisse: Fragrance-Free Skincare For Sensitive Souls

Embryolisse is a French skincare brand that has become a cult classic, particularly its Lait-Crème Concentré moisturiser. The brand is known for its nourishing, priming and dew-boosting properties, and its calming effect on sensitive skin. But does Embryolisse have a fragrance?

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré has a scent that some describe as 'bedtime kisses' or a 'classic French skincare scent'

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré has a scent that some describe as bedtime kisses or a classic French skincare scent. The brand's bestselling Lait-Crème Concentré has become the stuff of legend, found in the kit bags of pro-MUAs who are obsessed with its nourishing, priming and dew-boosting properties.

The scent is somewhat floral and tropical, with notes of ylang-ylang. One user describes the smell as "bedtime kisses", while another says it's a classic French skincare scent. If you don't like fragrance in your skincare, there is a sensitive version of the Lait-Crème Concentré that is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic.

The cream comes in a metal squeeze tube, which some users find difficult to get all of the product out of. However, the scent fades quickly and is not overpowering, so it may even work for those with a strong aversion to fragrances.

The Lait-Crème Concentré Sensitive Skin version is fragrance-free

The original Lait-Crème Concentré, however, does have a scent. Some people describe it as a classic French skincare scent, while others say it's floral, tropical, or a mixture of aloe and shea butter. It's also been likened to the scent of bedtime kisses.

The Lait-Crème Concentré is a French pharmacy favourite, and its calming counterpart, the Lait-Crème Concentre Sensitive Skin, is just as nourishing and suited to the needs of sensitive skin.

The scent is described as 'floral and classic'

The Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré is described as having a floral and classic scent. One person says that they are sure there is ylang ylang in the scent, but they can't discern the other notes. Another person says that it is the classic scent of skincare and that it has a clean scent. The cream is said to have a scent that fades quickly and is not overpowering, so it should work for those with a strong aversion to fragrances.

The brand also offers a fragrance-free version of the cream, called the Lait-Crème Concentre Sensitive Skin, which is designed for those with sensitive skin.

It is also described as 'tropical'
