What it smells like: the perfect beach day (sand, sun, waves and all) With an ever-growing selection of perfumes to choose from, you may be wondering why you need a body mist. For those looking for a long-lasting fragrance from the moment they step out of their morning shower, body mists are a staple for your fragrance wardrobe.Perfect for throwing in your school bag for an in-between-classes refresh, a  fragrance rite of passage for teenagers. Yet, they’re also so much more than that. Body mists are now a must-have fragrance item for everyone, not just teenagers.In comparison to perfume, a body mist is lighter, softer and less concentrated. Body mists and spritzers offer a pleasant all-over scent without being overpowering.Lasting up to 4 hours, the longevity of a body mist is shorter than that of perfume, so you’ll need to top up your body mist throughout the day to keep the beautiful scent lasting longer. But, it’s well worth it for a subtle boost of fragrance throughout the day.The shorter life span of body mists means they are often available in larger sizes and at a fraction of the price of perfume, giving you even more reason to keep spritzing all day long.
