If the words 'body mist' immediately conjure the image of a can of Impulse rattling around at the bottom of your P.E. kit then, trust me, up until very recently I was right there with you. As a beauty editor obsessed with the best fragrances (with a particular penchant for high-end perfumes), a cheap bottle of body spray doesn’t exactly scream luxury. However, we are now entering a new realm of 'body mist'—enter the new and improved, perfume mist.
My interest was first piqued last year when everyone on TikTok was going wild for the Sol de Janeiro’s perfume mist offering. In fact, fellow beauty editor Shannon Lawlor (an absolute fragrance connoisseur) waxed so lyrical about the brand's Cheirosa 59' scent and the fact it smells seriously expensive that I decided it was time to put aside my preconceptions about this beauty category and do a little investigating (and by a little investigating, I mean a lot of smelling).
