Perfume has long been a staple in any beauty routine but there’s a new scent trend sweeping vanities, handbags and gym kits alike: body mists.
Once associated with high-street teenage nostalgia (we’re looking at you Victoria’s Secret Love Spell), body mists are now cooler and more luxurious than ever. From niche fragrance brands to fashion house icons, everyone is jumping on the mist movement, and it’s easy to see why.
Lighter than traditional perfume, body mists offer a more casual and buildable way to wear scent. They’re perfect for daytime, layering, or a quick refresh throughout the day. Plus, many are now formulated to work on both hair and skin, offering more versatility for less.
With their sheer texture, softer sillage, and often lower price point, they’re becoming a modern girl’s fragrance essential. Also, as we had to summer, they are also a staple for beauty lovers who prefer a lighter-than-air fragrance.
Ready to make the switch? Here are the body mists that smell expensive, feel effortless, and are 100% mist-worthy.
