Body mists are better than ever – so good, in fact, that the right one could replace your go-to perfume. Here’s a selection of our favourites…
You’ll probably have some nostalgic memories about body mists from your school days, and while the premise remains the same, the scents have had a luxurious upgrade. They’re so much more developed and sophisticated than the old-school mists we kept in our backpacks.
We’re no longer spritzing to smell like sugared doughnuts. Instead, these scents are here to rival our more high-end fragrances.
Even better? In mist form, these formulas have been designed with both hair and body in mind, with some featuring moisturising benefits as well as delivering on scent.
They’re ideal for those days when you want something lighter than your eau de parfum or just want to mist and go. They’re also perfect for keeping in your handbag in case of any fragrance-related emergencies.
If you’re here for a fragrance mist revival, we’ve tried and tested the best hair and body mists that will rival your signature perfume and keep you smelling fresh all day long.
9 of the best scented body mists
Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Perfume Mist
It’s not too dramatic to say that Sol de Janeiro is the reason we’re having a body mist revival. With notes of vanilla orchid, amber, sweet plum and fresh vetiver, this is a creamy, sweet scent that will linger on skin for the long haul.
Shop Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Perfume Mist at LookFantastic, £24
Fenty Fragrance Parfum Hair + Body Mist
Considering Rihanna is one of the best-smelling celebrities around (as voted by other A-listers), there’s no denying the hype around this body and hair mist.
This is a lighter version of the OG Parfum but still embodies the spicy-floral we know and love from the original, thanks to the cocktail of warm musk, rose and zesty tangerine.

Rare Beauty Find Comfort Body & Hair Fragrance Mist
