The 8-Flower Nectar oil is a cult object for a reason. The Intral line is a quiet redness-calming standout. A little expensive for what it is, but the sensorial story is genuinely lovely.

The Darphin Story
Founded in 1958 by Pierre Darphin, a Parisian physiotherapist and aromatherapist. The brand's sixth-arrondissement boutique is a cult Paris stop. Acquired by Estée Lauder in 2003. The 8-Flower Nectar Oil is legitimately one of the most beautiful sensory experiences in skincare.
