Top 5 Maison Louis Marie Scents, Ranked by Loyal Crush Customers
You know a fragrance brand is iconic when customers don't just like it — they fall obsessively in love with it. And few brands have that effect quite like Maison Louis Marie. As one of the most sought-after clean perfume brands in Australia, it's no surprise that Loyal Crush shoppers have developed strong favourites. We dug through our reviews, purchase history, and scent-loving community feedback to bring you the top 5 Maison Louis Marie scents, ranked by real customers. If there's a Maison scent that defines the brand, it's this one. No.04 Bois de Balincourt is often dubbed the 'clean dupe' for Le Labo's Santal 33 — but many customers say they prefer it. Top: Sandalwood, cedarwood Middle: Vetiver, nutmeg, cinnamon Base: Amber wood 'People stop me in the street to ask what I'm wearing.' 'It's warm, inviting, and never overpowering.' 'Perfect balance between earthy and elegant.' This fragrance is creamy, grounding, and wears like a second skin. It's also endlessly layerable — try pairing it with Antidris Cassis for a sandalwood-meets-fruit combo. Fresh, green, and softly woody, No.09 is the kind of fragrance that feels clean without being 'soapy.' It's ideal for warm weather or everyday wear. Top: Grapefruit, orange, black pepper Middle: Cedarwood, patchouli, geranium Base: Amber, musk, benzoin 'Smells like a rainforest spa.' 'Subtle, fresh, and modern.' 'My everyday go-to — never gets old.' Vallée de Farney is especially loved by people who want a light but sophisticated signature scent. It's gender-neutral and makes a fantastic gift. This is the standout fruity-floral of the range, combining juicy berries with soft musk and rose. Top: Cassis, bergamot, black pepper Middle: White rose Base: Musk, tonka, oakmoss 'Bright and juicy — like summer in a bottle.' 'Smells expensive and feminine.' 'Lasts longer than I expected from a clean scent.' Pair it with No.04 Bois de Balincourt to create a rich contrast of wood and fruit. No.02 is deep, woody, and herbaceous — great for meditation, colder months, or anyone who loves more 'grounded' scents. Top: Hinoki wood Middle: Cedarwood Base: Patchouli 'Reminds me of forest walks in the Blue Mountains.' 'Unique and non-perfumey in the best way.' 'Perfect scent for quiet confidence.' No.02 is an underrated gem — especially for minimalists or those who don't usually like perfume. It wears close to the skin and feels deeply calming. Citrusy, soft, and a little powdery, No.12 Bousval is perfect for spring. It's light, uplifting, and a refreshing break from overly musky or floral perfumes. Top: Bergamot, lemon Middle: Green leaves, peony Base: White musk, cedar 'Bright, elegant, and effortless.' 'Reminds me of holidays in the south of France.' 'A perfect morning scent.' How to Choose Your Signature Still can't decide? Here's a quick cheat sheet: Mood Try This Warm & Woody No.04 Bois de Balincourt Green & Fresh No.09 Vallée de Farney Fruity & Feminine Antidris Cassis Deep & Grounding No.02 Le Long Fond Bright & Citrus No.12 Bousval Still unsure? Build your scent wardrobe by starting with two: one for day, one for night. Maison Louis Marie oils are made for layering.

28 Products From Credo Beauty With Rave Reviews
Maison Louis Marie perfume oil, a *clean* fragrance with notes of sandalwood, amber wood, and vetiver that has TikTok *obsessed* cuz it smells verrry similar to the popular, expensive as heck Le Labo Santal 33 fragrance. So good, even Bad Bunny uses it! Check it out on TikTok!Promising reviews: "Let me start by saying that I have bought clean perfumes in the past and have been majorly disappointed in the performance. I have loved the scents, but wasn't satisfied with them fading within 20 minutes. Of course, I know everyone is different, but this lasts on me for hours. I put it on my pulse points and it smells heavenly. The bottle is quite small, but it will last a long time, well worth the money." —Susan T."The best 'Santal' alternative fragrance that won't break your bank. This scent never gets old; it's clean. I like the oil for my skin." —Nicole $65 (also available as a perfume spray) An illuminating cream bronzer made with mango butter, green tea extract, and castor seed oil to help nourish and moisturize your skin, cuz who doesn't love a flawless ✨summer glow✨ with a side of skincare? Tower 28 is an LA-based, Asian woman-owned small biz that creates vegan and cruelty-free beauty products for all skin types. Promising review: "I have been using a powder bronzer but wanted to switch to something that looked more fresh and dewy. This. Is. So. Good. The red undertone works so well with my tan skin. The shade 'Best Coast' rocks. It's highly pigmented but blends out so nicely. I hope Tower 28 keeps this product forever!!" —Kimberly $10 (originally $14; available in five shades) An LYS cream bronzer stick packed with skincare ingredients like green tea extract, rosehip oil, and watermelon seed extract. You'll get an easy-to-blend, sculpted, defined look *and* moisturized, replenished, plump skin. LYS Beauty is a Black-owned biz!Promising review: "I absolutely love this cream bronzer. It blends on the skin beautifully. The shade range is great. I bought the shades 'harmony' and 'courage'. It's affordable, but reminds me of high-end products." —Amelynn $21 (available in seven shades) A face serum illuminator, a *complexion perfector* that'll hydrate your skin, giving it a ~luminous~ glow only a Cullen would have. Apply it under your makeup, over foundation, or wear it alone, cuz this is a versatile baddie in a bottle. Promising review: "My makeup has never ever looked better!!! It's the perfect glow under my foundation, and honestly, with this illuminator, you don't need foundation at all to get the dewy glass skin look. Absolutely recommend." —EPrice: $43 (available in four shades) A Kosas pressed setting powder to help smooth out your skin and get rid of unwanted excess shine while still keeping you looking glowy. Witchcraft, I'm telling ya! Say goodbye to your pores, cuz they'll be blurred right out. Oh, and best of all, since it's a *pressed* powder, you won't have to deal with the mess of a loose powder. Promising review: "This really helps blur/cover up the dark circles under my eyes. It looks very natural. It does not look cakey at all, which I appreciate, because I love to keep a dewy look on my face." —EmilyPrice: $36 (available in 13 shades) An Ilia complexion stick for an instant blur as if you just put an Instagram filter on your face. It looks like makeup but acts like skincare and can help to smooth, firm, and soften your skin over time, earning it the top spot on Abby's pyramid for sure. No fighting, moms, you know this baby deserves it. Promising review: "My go-to foundation. Lightweight enough for easy application, yet builds nicely for more full coverage without cake-iness. Love it! —Marisol $48 (available in 42 shades) An angled concealer brush that's suuuuper soft and will easily blend out your concealer. Liquids, creams, powders, whatever kinda product you have, this'll help it melt into your skin like The Wicked Witch of the West did in The Wizard of Oz. Promising review: "Blends like a dream. The brush is easy to hold and allows precision to get under your eye. It's not rough and does not irritate my skin after use. Great for those who are used to sponges and would like to dip their hand in brushes instead. It's durable and does not shed. Overall, this brush is great, I want the entire brush collection, and prefer these over any other prestige brand." —RissaatheepluggPrice: $15 An RMS cream luminizer made with *clean* ingredients for a natural, dewy glow that isn't sticky, glittery, or greasy. This is proof that dreams do come true. Promising review: "I have all the luminizers and keep coming back to this one. Gives an almost show-through radiance, as though my cheeks were the dewiest places on earth. Love it. I love the gold as well on tanned skin. All luminizers look great on skin." —Suzanne $40 (available in four shades) A Kosas "Wet Stick" moisturizing lip shine packed with moisturizing royalty — squalane, mango butter, ceramides, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. Your pout will be hydrated as heck, plump, smooth, soft, and shiny, with a beautiful, sheer wash of color that's *to die for*. Promising review: "My new go-to! Absolutely love this lipstick! Feels like a good mix of gloss and color." —Lauren $24 (available in 12 shades) A Tower 28 facial spray that'll help balance skin pH and help minimize irritation, redness, and flare-ups. Formulated to mimic the makeup of our bodies, this bad boy delivers ✨hypochlorous acid✨ (no, it's not a spell for incredible skin), which is found naturally in white blood cells. Okay, so I've had this for a while, but I rarely ever used it. A few weeks ago, I had my makeup professionally done for the first time, and IDK if it was the primer that the artist used, or how my skincare reacted with the primer, but the next day, my skin was red and burning like heck. I was panicking because I just had a breakout in May and am STILL trying to get rid of the hyperpigmentation, so I didn't want the itchy, burning skin to leave me with dark spots. A day later, I remembered I had this and it would help with irritation and redness, so I began spraying it on my face twice a day. I kid you not, my face immediately stopped burning after I began using it. After trying multiple serums and moisturizers, this was the only thing that calmed my skin *and* I only got one dark spot, which wasn't even all that bad. If your skin is ever irritated, don't hesitate to grab this; I know I won' review: "Love this product, it has become my holy grail. I take it everywhere I go and have seen so much improvement in my skin. Keeps my skin clean and refreshed." —AlexPrice: $12+ (available in three sizes) A Credo Beauty moisturizer with hyaluronic acid that'll leave your skin *intensely* hydrated. It's great for all skin types or anyone who wants plump, supple, soft skin, which is, like, everyone, right? Promising review: "I absolutely love this moisturizer! I have dry, sensitive skin, and the Deep Thirst Vetiver Root + Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer has been a game-changer. It's lightweight and feels so thin when applied, yet it delivers deep hydration without any harshness or irritation. I especially love how easily it blends with my tinted sunscreen — no pilling, no heaviness. My face feels instantly refreshed and nourished every time I use it. This is definitely a new staple in my skincare routine!" —Bianca $64 An anti-itch relief balm, a must-have product that you'll wanna keep with you all summer if mosquitoes think you have "all you can eat buffet" written on your forehead. Promising review: "This is a lifesaver for bug bites. I am really allergic to mosquitoes and used to itch constantly. This is instantly soothing and takes the itch down fast. Plus, it's clean, mess-free, and easy to throw in a bag." —Sarah $16+ (available in two sizes) A dye- and latex-free green tea makeup sponge that actually smells like green tea. Which makes sense, cuz it's made from organic green tea, that's what gives it the green-ish tint! It'll blend your makeup like a dream *and* may have you craving a matcha. Promising review: "This is by far my favorite makeup sponge. I'm allergic to latex, and I hadn't realized that my previous makeup sponge was irritating my skin every time I used it because it had latex in it. This sponge doesn't irritate me at all, and it's also great at blending my makeup. I get a seamless finish every time." —HPrice: $16 An ingrown hair oil reviewers are calling "magic," cuz it works that well. Shaving won't be nearly as miserable with this, since it's specifically designed to soothe ingrown hairs, bumps, and irritation. Promising review: "I'm not kidding when I say that this stuff has changed my life. For as long as I can remember, I've been tortured by painful, cystic, ingrown hairs on my bikini line that have made me self-conscious and waxing/shaving a nightmare. I've tried cotton underwear, regular exfoliation, and moisturizing, and while these have helped, they've not kept the ingrowns at bay. Enter: FurOil. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for having discovered the Fur Oil Ingrown Concentrate. I can now get regular Brazilian waxes and not have to suffer from ingrown hairs. I use the regular Fur Oil every day after showering, and then this guy on any ingrowns that appear (much less often now!), and it knocks out all the inflammation before it has a chance to become angry and red. No more scarring or painful cysts, it's honestly like magic. I cannot recommend it more if you've been in the same boat! Between Fur Oil and salicylic acid, my skin is so much happier and healthier." —KatPrice: $34 And an exfoliating soap bar *specifically* to target ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and rough, dry skin. Impurities that lead to clogged hair follicles and irritation? Pfftt, yeah right, not with this around. Promising review: "I picked up this bar on a whim because I often experience ingrown hairs all over my lower body when I shave. Using this bar, while also using a glycolic toner, has dramatically reduced the problem. I will continue to use this soap, and I expect to repurchase it when I've used it up! I think that it will last me awhile." —Maddie $26 An Ilia skin tint with SPF 40 that's like Captain America with a protective SPF *shield* and all. It's also packed with hyaluronic acid to improve moisture levels, and squalane to help skin's hydration and elasticity. We love some lightweight makeup that's also got superpowers. Promising review: "I absolutely love this stuff for all the reasons — it's moisturizing, light coverage, and my daily sunscreen. It doesn't cake, and goes on easily with just my fingers, and it's clean! It's all I use." —Katharine $48 (available in 30 shades) A Tower 28 gel cleanser + makeup remover so you can take off concealer, foundation, blush, and more products while giving your complexion a deep clean. I have this, and I gotta say, top-freaking-tier. Elite. Exquisite. This cleanser did its big oneeeee. I love a multitasker, so this bb is right up my alley. I mean, a cleanser and makeup remover?! Genius. I have, like, a 13-step skincare routine, so anything that removes a step is an absolute blessssing. Plus, it removes makeup like a *dream*. It feels good on the skin, my oily skin is enjoying it, and it hasn't caused me to break out or have any other annoying skin problems. My face feels fresh, clean, and hydrated. And hydration + oily skin can sometimes = a scary situation, but this doesn't turn me into, how should I put this, the bottom of a bag of Five Guys fries. If this cleanser has a million fans, I'm one of 'em. If this cleanser has one fan, it's me. I'm just $20 A balancing color corrector, because no matter how much concealer you apply, your dark circles *still* are peeking through. It'll help neutralize hyperpigmentation and dark spots, delivering you a more even complexion without standing out under foundation or cracking or creasing. Promising review: "I have tried a few other products to color correct a bluish vein under one of my eyes and dark circles. I was recommended this product in store and was shown how to apply for optimal coverage. I have repurchased and will keep it as a staple." —JenniferPrice: $27 (available in six shades) A thickening brow balm that's the definition of a multitasker. Before you go buying three different products, check out this bad boy that'll thicken, tint, and provide a flexible hold. Promising review: "I've heard great things about this product, but was genuinely surprised at how well this little guy filled my brows. Couldn't believe it." —OliviaPrice: $26 (available in four shades) A vegan makeup brush soap to help easily wash away built-up oils and makeup on your brushes without drying them out or leaving residue behind. Promising review: "This soap is so easy to use and does a thorough job. I've tried almost every other major brand, and Jenny Patinkin's is by far the simplest design. Lasts forever, too, which is a bonus." —SimsPrice: $19 A Kosas concealer that some witch conjured up with the help of caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. Your skin will get a boost of hydration and any hyperpigmentation or blemishes will be hidden better than Waldo. This brightening, buildable little baby is *spellbinding*. Promising review: "I've been using this concealer for years now. Definitely one of my faves. It doesn't crease as much, and the consistency is not too thick or too thin." —Dena $32 (available in 38 shades) An underarm bar crafted with apple cider vinegar, sea salt, and activated charcoal to help your natural deodorant reaaaally work and block funk from sneaking up on you when you sweat. Promising review: "I don't know why it's taken me so long to use something like this in my natural deodorant journey. I am someone who sweats a lot and tends to get smelly, and this is a game-changer when using all-natural deodorant. I use it daily and it's a great way to make the natural deodorant work and last longer!" —AlexandraPrice: $26 A Tower 28 tinted balm blush that can *also* be used on your lips. If you've been searching for an unbelievably pigmented blush with a radiant, luminous finish, look no further. Promising review: "I own nearly all of these shades and haven't been disappointed with a single one! They're so creamy without being slippery or greasy. I think this would be a good fit for all skin types." —KBPrice: $20 (available in 10 shades) A micro tip brow pencil for creating the thinnest, natural-looking hair-like strokes your brows have ever seen. They'll be full, perfectly pigmented, and will resist budging and fading throughout your day, which is great for hot summer days and sweating. Promising review: "This pencil does the job neatly — I don't know how else to say it. Clean lines and smooth application without overdoing the look. I love it." —Donna $24 (available in eight shades) A milk hair serum that basically does it all — smooths, detangles, adds definition, and refreshes your locks. This weightless potion contains hyaluronic acid for deep moisturizing, red algae extract that'll make your hair less frizzy and easy to comb through, and ~BotaniComplex~ to preserve your hair color and promote scalp restoration. Promising review: "Holy grail. This is the perfect last step, or you can use it to freshen up your hair. Lightweight as long as you don't use too much! Love this." —Nastasia $29+ (available in two sizes) A Tower 28 tinted sunscreen with aloe vera, prickly pear, and SPF 30 that'll deliver a lightweight, natural finish while also helping to even out any redness and calm your UV-stressed skin. Use this 2-in-1 miracle for a light, fresh face *or* build this buildable baby up to more of a medium coverage look. Plus, it won't be too matte ~or~ too dewy — win. Promising review: "This is AMAZING! I am in love with this tinted sunscreen. I received the color '50 Sunset', and it is a perfect match to my skin tone. It provides buildable light-medium coverage. Moisturizing, no white cast, feels like skin, doesn't pill, and has no fragrance/scent. The tube is super easy to use, making it effortless to apply the product. I recommend this 1000%!" — $32 (available in 17 shades) An RMS Beauty mascara that'll help you achieve a smudge-free lift that won't flake throughout the day. This baby is packed with nourishing ingredients and peptides to help improve your lashes' strength and density. Promising review: "RMS Beauty's Straight Up Volumizing Peptide Mascara is a total game-changer! This mascara delivers on its promise of voluminous lashes without any clumping or flaking. The peptide-infused formula nourishes my lashes while providing a bold, long-lasting look. I'm in love with the natural and clean ingredients, making it a top choice for enhancing my lashes with confidence. A must-have for anyone seeking a clean and effective mascara!" —MoniquePrice: $15+ (available in two sizes) A non-aerosol hairspray for lots of hold, moisture, and shine, with none of the ~crunchy noodle~ strands. Plus, the light lavender scent it leaves behind is pretty great, too. Promising review: "I have repurchased several times. Works well on my curly hair, provides hold without crunch or stickiness." —Shannon $28

When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault. If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer. They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice. In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected.
