It’s perhaps one of the more unexpected beauty trends to emerge this year, but it’s official – the humble body mist is officially back. Yes, we’re talking about the same scented spritz that you used to apply with abandon back in the halls of your high school, no doubt with a fragrance that tended towards sickly sweet.
Only this time, body mists aren’t just a cheap perfume knock-off that you bought as a teen-friendly alternative to that highly coveted (and highly priced) fragrance. Body mists have been given a much-needed dose of sophistication, thanks to a spate of new releases from some of beauty’s most sought-after brands.
Now a body mist – or a body spray – is simply positioned as a softer alternative to your favourite scent, perfect as a handbag companion as we head into the summer months. They’ve proven extremely popular on TikTok too, with the hashtag #bodymist garnering more than 309 million views.
