I’m Ditching My Perfume Collection for the 20 Best Body Mists of Summer 2026

I'll be the first to admit I'm a fragrance snob. There's something about adding a new perfume to my collection that makes me giddy inside. Recently, however, I've been noticing a shift within the scent space—body mists are everywhere. Over the last few months, my favorite new beauty products have been body sprays, and I'm convinced these easy-to-wear formulas are the it fragrances of summer.

Compared to eau de parfums, body mists have a lower concentration of fragrance oils, which results in a more casual, lighter scent and (typically) a lower price tag. What's more, the lightweight nature of body mists makes them an excellent choice for layering with your perfumes or wearing alone on a sweltering hot day. Essentially, a body mist is a fragrance lover's best friend in the summer, and brands have started to catch on.
