I Get So Many Compliments When I Wear This Underrated Perfume Trend

July 20, 2023 admin Fashion 0

When it comes to the best perfumes for women, body sprays are often overlooked. I don’t know about you, but until recently, whenever I would think about body sprays, I would be taken back to the Victoria’s Secret Bare Vanilla Body Mist that I would layer on as a teenager before heading to school.

However, this underrated fragrance category has had a serious upgrade since then and most signficantly in the past few years, with brands such as Tom Ford and Diptyque creating high-end, luxury body sprays that are now frontrunners in my perfume collection.

You see, body sprays happen to be a much more affordable way of trying out your favourite brands. For example, a Diptyque perfume may set you back a cool £125, but the brand’s body spray retails for £50. Not only that, but they’re also a lot easier to throw in your handbag, meaning that you can easily top up your fragrance throughout the day.

In fact, they are my secret weapon to smelling good all day long, as I can easily give myself a quick spritz without the scent becoming over-bearing or proving to be a very costly price per pump.

According to Jo Malone CBE, Founder of Jo Loves, body mists can be used alone or layered to create a scent that is completely unique to you.

“I have always loved body mists and travel everywhere with them,” says Malone. “You can spritz them as many times as you like as they aren’t going to overpower you with fragrance. I love the easy way you can refresh your scent throughout the day, wherever you are.”

As mentioned above, body sprays are a great alternative to perfume if you like something a little lighter. “The difference between a body mist and a perfume is the formula of concentrated oil to water and alcohol,” explains Malone.”Body mists have a lower level of concentrated perfume oil, while perfumes will have higher levels and less water.”

So, if you’re looking for a more subtle, every day choice, body sprays are the way to go.

Body sprays are designed for both your body and clothing, so you can apply them quite liberally. Malone recommends putting yours in the fridge on a hot summer’s day for a quick, cooling burst of fragrance.

If you want to try out this underrated fragrance trend for yourself, then you’re in luck, as I’ve rounded up my favourite body sprays for women below. Keep on scrolling for some of the best scents to shop now.

As much as I love Caudalie skincare, it’s actually the brand’s fragrances that I favour the most. Out of all of the body sprays on offer this scent is my favourite, as it reminds me of sunny evenings spent on holiday with friends. Notes of neroli and orange blossom give it a fresh, citrusy kick, while white musk and jasmine add a sensual finish.

If you prefer sweeter scents, then this is the body spray for you. Another great option for summer, this Sol De Janeiro fragrance features notes of salted caramel and pistachio. Trust me, it smells almost good enough to eat (but we definitely don’t advise that). 

Is there anything chicer than a Diptyque body spray? The brand’s Do Son Body Mist is so light on the skin, with floral notes of tuberose and citrusy notes of orange blossom. The fresh, powdery finish makes it perfect for every day.

For something a little richer, I recommend the Fig a Fragrance Body Mist by Jo Loves. Notes of fig are mixed with sweet cassis and cosy amber which makes spraying this scent feel like a warm hug.

In my opinion, & Other Stories does some of the best fragrances on the high street. The Perle De Coco scent is one of my personal favourites, with delicious notes of vanilla, coconut and caramel.

Although this fragrance sounds like it would be overwhelmingly fruity thanks to top notes of cherry, it has a hint of spice to keep things interesting. Think notes of cedar, cinnamon and sandalwood. It’s truly unique, not to mention it looks beautiful on display.

Another great high street option. The Body Shop’s White Musk Fragrance Mist smells like you’ve just stepped out of the shower. It’s fresh and floral, making it ideal for every day, and I find myself reaching for this all year round.

I love the original Miss Dior perfume, so when I saw that the brand also did a body mist, I knew I had to try it out for myself. It’s not as powerful as the perfume itself, but I love how light it is as it means I can layer it with other scents if I fancy something a bit different.

If you’ve smelt the Chanel Chance Eau Tendre Eau De Toilette, then you’ll know how beautifully fresh and floral this fragrance is. It’s such a sophisticated every day scent, and the mist is no exception. The clever thing about this is that the mist also works to moisturise the skin, so you’re getting two benefits in one.
