The Bloomingdale's Beauty Event Is Here — These Are the Top-Rated Products to Buy

EX NIHILO Lust in Paradise Eau de Parfum ($355)

Given their short bloom season, peonies are hard enough to catch the scent of IRL, let alone in a bottle. But this Parisian fragrance brand has done just that with this true-to-life equivalent that develops on the skin like a time-lapse video of a peony in bloom. What starts as a straightforward bouquet of the flower's delicate sweetness warms on the skin as musk, cedarwood, and amber take hold, capturing the lasting scent of sun-warmed blooms that fans love for its freshness.

Tom Ford Ultra-Shine Lip Color ($62)

Further proof that we're living in the golden age of lip care? This hybrid treatment. It has all the coveted hallmarks of a gold-standard lip balm: major nourishing power, applies with an even glide, and feels like nothing on the lips (compliments of ingredients like shea butter, waxes, and ceramides). But it also packs the best qualities of a lipstick, too, thanks to a buildable, satin-finish pigment and one-swipe application that reminds us of our favorite creamy lip color.

Kiehl's Super Fluid Daily UV Defense SPF 50+ ($79)

Think of it as SPF for people who hate using sunscreen. This milky fluid looks and acts like a serum by instantly absorbing into skin with zero white cast (a hallmark of chemical actives) and without leaving a tacky feel or shiny finish. No wonder it's amassed a legion of five-star reviews.

Versace Eros Energy Eau de Parfum ($115)

Who can't use a hit of disposition-brightening citrus these days? Versace delivers a dose in this cologne that fans love for its uplifting effect that doesn't come on too strong or too saccharine. While a cacophony of citrus (bergamot, blood orange, lime, mandarin, grapefruit, lemons) is the star, heart notes of white amber, blackcurrant, and pink pepper elevate the scent from fruity perfumes that lean into sweetness. What's more, a minimal use of musk keeps it all from feeling like dad's cologne.

Christian Louboutin Fétiche Le Cuir Eau de Parfum ($245)

Spicy, leathery, fruity, floral: why choose when this fragrance balances all these elements so beautifully? Pepper and suede (this did come from a luxury footwear brand after all) dance with the scent of sweet osmanthus flowers (which, in nature echo peach, apricot, and a touch of leather) to make something that reviewers laud for its staying power. It's neither traditionally masculine nor feminine, but sensual all the same.

Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire Orchidée Vanille Eau de Parfum ($285)

For the vanilla-obsessed who doesn't want to smell like a cookie, it may not get better than this ultralight scent. Notes of lychee, rose, mandarin, orchid, and iris keep this fragrance miles away from gourmand territory, and instead provide an aerated, slightly powdery take on vanilla that's both refined and restrained.

La Mer The Night Recovery Concentrate Treatment ($650)

La Mer's take on an overnight mask is pumped full of the brand's signature miracle broth and formulated to lock in hydration while you sleep — no surprise there. But it also packs the benefits of a barrier cream by helping to reduce redness and calm sensitized skin while stimulating the cells' reparative functions and, yes, strengthening the barrier. The kicker: its light texture absorbs completely, which means your investment will end up treating skin cells, not staining pillowcases.

John Varvatos Vintage Eau de Toilette ($115)

Reviewers say they instinctively want to gatekeep the sheer magnetism of this fragrance, but they just can't help themselves. And who can blame them? After collecting compliments from its sexy fragrance profile (owed to the woody nature of fennel, pepper, balsam, oakmoss, green leaves, and tobacco), it's hard not to sing this classic scent's praises. Walking into a few spritzes is the fastest way to forest bathe without a trip to the pines.

Sisley Paris Sensitive Skin Soothing Care ($240)

Many so-called sensitive skin-care products contain triggering irritants that render them useless for those with reactive skin. But this thoughtful formula avoids that trap by relying on key ingredients for natural fragrance, innovative packaging to prevent air (or fingers) from degrading the formula, and swapping out the use of preservatives for a sterilization process to keep the cream fresh. Meanwhile, other ingredients help to actively reduce redness (seaweed extract), calm (polysaccharides), and use lipid-delivering fatty acids to forify the skin's barrier function (shea butter, rapeseed, and plum kernel oil).
