Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum ($164) took Favorite Perfume in this year's Readers' Choice Awards for body care and fragrance, with one reader calling it "a beautifully sweet, warm and feminine scent that feels elegant without being too overwhelming."

The awards span ten categories, from body wash to perfume oil, with reader judges ranging in age from 28 to 72 and representing states including Texas, New York, Florida, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, California, South Carolina and New Jersey.

Favorite Body Wash went to Dove Serum+ Radiance Body Wash ($13). "I love Dove as a brand because I've used them since I was a kid, and I absolutely love this product!" wrote Tiara P., Age 33, Texas.

In sensitive skin, Beekman 1802 Pure Goat Milk Lotion ($22) won Favorite Body Lotion for Sensitive Skin. "My skin can be sensitive, and this didn't irritate it at all. It's simple, moisturizing and absorbs well without leaving that icky, heavy lotion feeling!" said Emily T., Age 51, New York.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 70 ($13) won Favorite Body Sunscreen Lotion. Kearstin B., Age 47, Florida, cited its long track record: "I've used this sunscreen for years, especially for beach days and outdoor workouts. It dries down quickly, doesn't leave my skin looking shiny and gives me confidence that I'm well protected."

At $13, three winners share the lowest price point in the lineup: the Dove body wash, the Neutrogena sunscreen and eos Vanilla Cashmere Whipped Oil Butter, winner of Favorite Body Butter. "This makes my skin feel incredibly soft without leaving a greasy layer behind. The vanilla scent is warm and cozy, and it lasts just enough without being overpowering!" said Jenna D., Age 34, Wisconsin, of the eos butter.

Nakery Beauty SkinRecovery Relax + Repair Body Balm ($39) won Favorite Overnight Body Cream. "It's deeply hydrating and leaves my skin soft all day—my dry patches improved fast. It also has a calming scent that makes it feel like a mini spa moment. A definite repurchase," said Randi M., Age 46, Arizona.

In self-tanning, Dolce Glow Lusso Self-Tanning Mousse ($49) earned Favorite Self-Tanner. Rachel S., Age 39, Nevada, praised its performance: "This always gives me a really even, natural-looking tan without turning orange. It dries faster than expected, and I don't notice that strong self-tanner smell afterward."

Éminence Organic Skin Care Yuzu Solid Body Oil ($56) won Favorite Body Oil. "I love all their organic products, especially this oil. It easily absorbs into your skin, allowing a healthy-looking glow!" said Lisa J., Age 61, Arizona.

For texture-driven buyers, Soft Services Speed Soak Skin Rehydrating Gel ($28) took Favorite Gel-Cream Body Lotion. "I love how quickly it sinks in, especially when I don't feel like waiting around for a thick body lotion to dry. It feels cool and lightweight going on but my skin still feels noticeably softer afterward," said Lauren K., Age 48, Texas.

In fragrance mists, PHLUR Vanilla Skin Body & Hair Fragrance Mist ($39) won its category. "Everyone always tells me I smell good when I wear this. It's warm and cozy, not too sweet and lasts longer than other fragrance mists I've tried," said Kelly F., Age 28, South Carolina.

GLOSS MODERNE Clean Luxury Roll-On Perfume Oil ($95) rounded out the list as Favorite Perfume Oil. "I love this perfume, especially for traveling. The scent is delicious, sophisticated and perfect to keep in my bag," said Kimberly S., Age 72, New Jersey.

The results show mass-price staples competing directly with prestige picks: winners' prices run from $13 to $164, and drugstore brands Dove, Neutrogena and eos sit alongside Éminence, Lancôme and GLOSS MODERNE. Readers repeatedly rewarded fast absorption, non-greasy finish and warm vanilla-adjacent scent profiles across both body care and fragrance — signals that texture and comfort, not brand tier, drove the vote.
