We all want to smell good, but sometimes perfume can be, well, a lot (especially on steamy summer days or when you’re in close quarters with someone.) Enter: the best body sprays, your scent alternative savior. Think of fragrance mists as a lighter version of women’s perfume, making them ideal for any time you want to take the intensity down a notch.
Fragrance mist vs. perfume
“The biggest difference between the two forms is the intensity of fragrance and ultimately the fragrance experience on skin,” explains Jodi Geist, director of product development at Bath & Body Works. “Perfumes have a higher fragrance load than our Fine Fragrance Mists, and in many instances, include notes and ingredients that have more depth.
She continues: “Due to the higher level of fragrance used in an eau de parfum, the experience is more enhanced, diffusive and longer-lasting. As such, eau de parfums are often applied minimally throughout the day. Our Fine Fragrance Mist forms do have similarities to that of the eau de parfum in way of fragrance experience and longevity, however, they tend to be lighter and softer on skin, and are often applied liberally throughout the day for a quick refresh and burst of fragrance.”
