Its excellent reputation rests on its ideal balance between balmy perfume and lightness. An interest in the milky way is nothing new. Bathed in milk, Cleopatra, Poppaea Sabina and Diane de Poitiers immersed themselves in its virtues in various forms to cultivate their beauty. Light and incomparably gentle, Lait Virginal confers a healthy spirit in a hydrated body. In 1826, Jean-Vincent Bully created this Lait Virginal, which was then brought up to date by the Officine with natural ingredients. THE GREAT BENEFIT Once applied, Lait Virginal is quickly absorbed by the skin, leaving no sticky feeling, so you can slip into your evening gown, pants or other daytime outfit straight away.

Never thought a milk bath could feel this refined—the cedar keeps it from being cloying, and it’s light enough to use daily without that heavy, oily residue. Layer it after a shower and you catch that balmy warmth for hours, like Cleopatra knew a thing or two.
Carter★★★★★
The scent is the standout—it’s got that warm, balmy cedar depth but somehow still feels featherlight on the skin, not at all heavy like some milky lotions. I’ve been using it after my evening shower, and the way it lingers without cloying is exactly what I wanted.
Riley★★★★★
The milky texture sinks in almost instantly—no greasy film, just that soft cedar balm lingering on my skin. I’ve tried lighter lotions and heavy oils, but this hits the sweet spot between airy and comforting.
