Body Mists Are Back! 8 Picks You’ll Want To Wear All Summer

Fresh and oh-so-nostalgic, body mists have come a long way since the early aughts. With grown-up scent profiles and skin-friendly ingredients, they're now as worthy of a spot on your vanity as your favourite perfume.

What's the difference between body mists and perfumes?

Body sprays contain a smaller concentration of fragrance oils than perfumes do, so they’re lighter—and more affordable. It makes them perfect for sweltering summer days, when you want to keep things fresh and easy.

Looking for a new signature scent for summer? These are the eight spritzes we can't wait to wear over and over again.

The best body mists to shop in 2024

Ellis Brooklyn Peaches Fragrance Body Mist, $49 for 50 mL

A juicy peach is one of summer’s simple pleasures. Here, the sweet fruity note is grounded by orange blossom, sandalwood and ambrette for a decidedly modern twist. We guarantee you'll want to spray this playful scent over and over again.

Henry Rose Boys of Summer Body Spray, $102 for 200 mL

Henry Rose—the fine fragrance line founded by actor Michelle Pfeiffer—offers a range of eau de parfums and water-based body mists crafted with carefully vetted ingredients. Boys of Summer is a blend of lavandin (a close cousin of lavender), spicy pink pepper and warm vetiver that's as crisp as freshly washed sheets.

Chanel Chance Eau Tendre Sheer Moisture Mist, $75 for 100 mL

Chanel Chance Eau Tendre—a floral-fruity combo of grapefruit, jasmine and white musk—has been my hot-weather signature scent for years. I can't wait to switch things up this summer with this breezy version, which also boasts built-in hydrating properties.

Phlur Dragon Fruit Hair & Body Fragrance Mist, $28 for 90 mL

A vibrant tropical trio of dragon fruit, pineapple and watermelon is combined with floral and gourmand notes for extra depth. Tropical smoothie, anyone?

Moroccanoil Brumes du Maroc Fragrance Mist, $44 for 100 mL

Fans of Moroccanoil’s signature amber and floral scent will love the brand’s fragrance mist. It's formulated with argan oil and vitamin E for extra nourishing benefits. Hot tip: I like to spray it in my hair to fake that just-back-from-the-salon feeling.

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist, $33 for 90 mL

Like Sol de Janeiro’s bestselling bodycare, this mist smells like pistachio, salted caramel and a hint of sweet florals. Layer with the matching scrub and body butter to dial up the scent's lasting power.
