There’s just something beautiful about a good scent that lingers in the air long after you’ve left the room and if that’s the kind of effect you want to begin to have, then body mists are your go-to for that magic.

If you’ve always been unsure about whether or not you need one bottle of fragrance in your corner or you’ve been stuck with perfumes for so long, this might just be your sign to try something softer, lighter, and surprisingly luxurious.

Let’s get into it, shall we?

What’s a Body Mist, Anyway?

Body Mist

Think of body mists as the laid-back cousin of perfumes because that’s what they are . Perfumes are known to be more intense, long-lasting, and concentrated, but body mists? They are airy, light and often refreshing.

Whether it’s for layering, everyday wear, or for those days when you just want to smell amazing without doing too much, body mists are perfect!

Then there’s body spray. Body sprays are usually stronger than mists but not as strong as perfumes. On days when it’s hot out, body sprays can sometimes feel a little overpowering. On the other hand, body mists give you just the right amount of fragrance to freshen up without overwhelming your senses (or those around you).

And the best part? You can spray as often as you need and they’re often budget-friendly too, so it’s a win-win.

If you’ve decided to give body mists a try but don’t know where to start, come closer because we’d be answering that in this article. From luxury brands to fan favorites you can easily grab from stores in Dubai or order online, here are our top picks.
