Roger & Gallet
Roger & Gallet is the 160-year French heritage brand built around eau de toilette, perfumed soap, and bodycare formulated with French floral extracts. The Bois d'Orange and Fleur d'Osmanthus eaux de toilette and bar soaps are the brand's most iconic products, and the bodycare extensions retain the same fragrance-led identity. Mid-tier pricing, distribution across French pharmacies and global luxury beauty retailers.

Cons
- ✗ Treatment-skincare range is small

Kahi
Kahi is the K-beauty brand built around a single product that turned into a Korean kitchen-table essential — the Multi Balm. A solid stick balm formulated for face, hands, lips, and dry-elbow rescue, beloved by Korean actress Kim Go-eun and quietly recommended by every K-beauty fan you've ever met. The brand has expanded since, but the multi-balm is still the entry point.
Pros
- ✓ Multi-use stick format
- ✓ Celebrity-backed credibility
- ✓ Affordable enough for daily
