What Is Body Mist?
Body mists generally have a light, subtle profile due to a higher water content and lower concentration of essential oils. The formula is ideal for a fresh and gentle fragrance that can be applied throughout the day without overwhelming. Body sprays and mists even have a lower amount of alcohol, so it won't dry out skin.
Body Mist vs. Perfume: What’s the Difference?
Not sure whether to choose a body mist or perfume? Body mists are perfect for those who prefer a lighter scent that's not too overpowering. They're also more affordable and can be worn more liberally throughout the day. Perfumes, on the other hand, offer a more concentrated scent that lasts longer and is perfect for special occasions. So why wait? Browse our collection of perfumes, body sprays, and fragrance mists today and find your new signature scent.
Body Mist vs Deodorant: What to Choose?
Before you skip deodorant, it's important to know the difference between fine fragrances and deodorant. Deodorant neutralizes and covers body odors from sweat, particularly under armpits. It is extremely effective at keeping you fresh throughout the day and very sensitive on skin. Deodorants are formulated to combat body odor by targeting the bacteria that cause unwanted smells. In contrast, body mists add a subtle layer of scent that can be applied all over the body throughout the day. While both products have their place in a personal care routine, use them together to control body odor.

Body Shimmer Spray
Shimmer spray is a playful fragrance that sparkles on skin. Glow on with this mist infused with fine shimmer particles that catch the light subtly. Unlike heavier lotions or oils, a lightweight body shimmer spray leaves no residue. Perfect for glamorous nights out.
Hair and Body Mist
Victoria's Secret PINK offers dermatologist approved hair and body mist that nourishes and leaves a lingering scent wherever you go. The lightweight formula is non-drying, so your hair and skin remains soft and manageable without weighing it down or making it greasy. Infused with hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, PINK hair and body mists add an extra layer of care to your daily routine. Refresh from head to toe after a workout or spritz for a quick pick-me-up during the day.
How to Use Body Mist
To truly enjoy body mist, apply it right after a shower while your skin is still lightly damp. This helps lock in moisture and extend the longevity of the scent. Hold the bottle a few inches from your skin and spritz all over, focusing on pulse points like your wrists and neck. Remember, body mist is designed for heavy use and reapplying, so feel free to refresh your fragrance any time.
Is Body Mist Safe to Use Every Day?
Body mist is safe to use every day because the light formula is made with a lower concentration of essential oils and alcohol compared to more potent fragrances like perfumes. This makes it sensitive to the skin and less likely to cause dryness. It's always good practice to perform a patch test if you're trying out a new product or if you have reactive skin.
Tips for Choosing Your Signature Scent
Start by exploring different fragrance families: floral, woody, vanilla, and citrus. These categories will help guide you towards scents that make you feel confident and uniquely you. Also, think about the occasions you plan to wear the fragrance: a fresh and clean fragrance for daily wear, or a complex, deeper scent for nights out. And don't stop with body mist. To build a signature scent, layer scented body wash, lotion, and perfume for a lasting impression.
Expect body mist to last for about 3 to 4 hours. Unlike perfume, which is made to last all day, body mists contain more water and fewer essential oils. This also makes them light enough to be reapplied throughout the day. To make the fragrance last, apply on moisturized skin, so the hydration helps lock in the scent. Apply on pulse points like the inside of your elbows, knees, and wrists where the warmth from your body helps diffuse the scent.
Choosing between body mist and eau de parfum comes down to personal preference. Body mists have a light, subtle scent when you prefer something refreshing. They contain a higher water content and less concentrated essential oils, which makes them more affordable and fairer to use multiple times throughout the day. Eau de parfum has a more pronounced scent from a higher concentration of essential oils. This deep, luxurious scent is perfect for formal events and a more intense, long-lasting scent. Both serve a rightful place in any fragrance collection—choose body mists for a refreshing, daily spritz and eau de parfum to make a bold statement.
Like most cosmetic products, body mist does have a shelf life, typically ranging from two to three years, unless there's a specific expiration date listed. Over time, the scent of body mist may change as the essential oils and other aromatic compounds begin to deteriorate or oxidize. It's important to store body mist away from direct sunlight in a cool, dry place.
