French beauty brand L'Occitane opened its flagship store in the Flatiron District just in time for the holiday shopping season. The store is the brand's largest in the world, and that means it has room for more than just amazing products.

When you walk in, there are complimentary trays of chocolate croissants and glasses of champagne. There's a spa area in the back where customers can book appointments for mini facials, and once a week a barber comes in to give professional shaves. There's also a station where you can exfoliate and wash your hands with L'Occitane scrubs and soaps and a spot to sit and get a hand massage.

The crazy part? It's all free, which means you can blow your cash on hand creams, scented bath oils, and luxe soaps instead.—Lilit Marcus
