Spraying on perfume is a daily ritual for many. Whether you favor floral, fruit or more woody aromas, a few spritzes can provide enough olfactory confidence to get you through the day and night. But in summer, highly-concentrated fragrances can feel too heavy and even cloying. Body mists solve the seasonal dilemma by delivering just enough fragrance while feeling super lightweight on skin.
Subtle fragrance isn't the only thing these mists have on lock, either. Many of them contain skin-loving ingredients. Think glycerin, argan oil, vitamin E, baobab oil and even aloe vera. Several also double as hair mists so your mane can smell just as incredible as the rest of your body. Because even your locks get sweaty in this level of heat and humidity.
Here are the best body mists to add to your summer fragrance collection. You can even keep spritzing them on in fall.
