Body Mists Are Back—and These 19 Need to Be On Your Radar
Sephora / Saltair / Victoria's Secret
Let's daydream for a moment. The year is 2005. You're at the mall with your best friends, perusing shops filled with clothing and accessories that far exceed your teen budget. But what's that scent in the air? Victoria's Secret Love Spell—now that you can afford. Flashback to 2024, and we have news for you: Body mists are back, baby!
For those who aren't super attuned to the wonders of body mists, allow us to fill you in. Mists, unlike eau de perfumes or eau de toilettes, are shorter-lived. While a fleeting fragrance may seem pointless, we're here to assure you otherwise. Generally, they're much lighter in scent than traditional perfumes, hence why it's not overwhelming to continually re-spritz them throughout the day. Plus, the packaging tends to be colorful and fun, making mists even more delightful to use.
We rounded up 19 of the most delectable body mists of the modern day. Check them out below.
Ellis Brooklyn Peaches Fragrance Body Mist
Ellis Brooklyn Peaches Fragrance Body Mist ($NaN)
Ellis Brooklyn's Peaches Fragrance Body Mist has a light but lush fruity floral profile, with notes of sweet peach, orange flower, and sugared musk. And we dig the inspiration: "the '90s—the malls, grunge, anthems, and daydreams." The best part? Ellis Brooklyn realized what a hit their body mists are and debuted them in a new travel-friendly 50ml size ($35) sold exclusively on the Ellis Brooklyn site and at Ulta.
Phlur Mango Mood Hair & Body Fragrance Mist
Phlur Mango Mood Hair & Body Fragrance Mist ($NaN)
Another stellar fruity floral body mist is Phlur's Mango Mood Hair & Body Fragrance Mist. With notes of mango, jasmine, patchouli, vanilla, and brown sugar, it's a warm, inviting scent that nods to summer. It's sultry, sweet, and pretty to look at.
Sol de Janeiro Mini Brazilian Crush Body Fragrance Mist
Sol de Janeiro Mini Brazilian Crush Body Fragrance Mist ($NaN)
Sol de Janeiro's Brazilian Crush Body Fragrance Mist is perhaps the modern body mist that kickstarted the trend resurgence. Available in full and travel sizes, this warm and sweet gourmand fragrance has racked up an impressive 431,000 loves at Sephora. And just about everyone and their sister on TikTok has it tossed in their purse—there are over 50 million views associated with the Sol de Janeiro 62 tag.
Bath & Body Works Tropidelic Fine Fragrance Mist
Bath & Body Works Tropidelic Fine Fragrance Mist ($NaN)
Bath & Body Works has long been on the body mist bandwagon: Like Victoria's Secret, they've regularly released new ones since the early '00s. One of the brand's most recent scents is the Tropidelic Fine Fragrance Mist. With notes of passion flower, ylang-ylang, and misty rainforest, it's refreshing and floral.
Saltair Pink Beach Body Mist
Saltair Pink Beach Body Mist ($NaN)
Dreaming of the beach? Mist yourself with the Saltair Pink Beach Body Mist. The warm, sugary scent features notes of coconut, vanilla, and almond blossom. The pink metallic can it comes in is pretty sweet, too.
Moroccanoil Brumes du Maroc Hair & Body Fragrance Mist
Moroccanoil Brumes du Maroc Hair & Body Fragrance Mist ($NaN)
Take your body and hair game to the next level with Moroccanoil's Brumes du Maroc Hair & Body Fragrance Mist. Featuring notes of amber, magnolia, and woods, it smells a lot like the signature Moroccanoil scent, so if you dig the brand's shampoo, you'll love this, too. This mist offers more than just a stellar scent, though: It's formulated to protect hair from UV exposure, too.
Victoria's Secret Love Spell Body Mist
Victoria's Secret Love Spell Body Mist ($NaN)
We had to, okay? What story about body mists can exist without the OG purple spritz we all knew and loved back in the day? Love Spell is a fruity floral mist with notes of peach and cherry blossom. (Psst: If you were more of an Amber Romance girlie, that scent still exists, too.)
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Find Comfort Body & Hair Fragrance Mist
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Find Comfort Body & Hair Fragrance Mist ($NaN)
Selena Gomez recently expanded her Rare Beauty line with the Find Comfort Collection. The Find Comfort Body & Hair Fragrance Mist stands out for its earthy, layerable aroma, featuring notes of lemon zest, jasmine, and cashmere wood. It doesn't just smell good, though: Formulated with niacinamide, ashwagandha extract, and biotin, the mist is designed to nourish and strengthen the hair and skin with each spritz.
Carolina Herrera Good Girl Body Mist
Carolina Herrera Good Girl Body Mist ($NaN)
If you fangirl over the Good Girl Eau de Parfum but seek something a bit lighter between applications, the Good Girl Body Mist is the way to go. Tonka bean, cocoa, and coffee bean make up the base, while the middle and top notes consist of almond, jasmine, and tuberose crystal. The floral mist can be used alone or layered over your favorite perfume. Either way, you can expect to smell fabulous.
Skylar Boardwalk Delight Hair & Body Mist
Skylar Boardwalk Delight Hair & Body Mist ($NaN)
For a nostalgic, sugary scent, check out the Skylar Boardwalk Delight Hair & Body Mist. Vanilla, coconut milk, raspberry sorbet, and cotton candy come together for a warm, sweet fragrance that can be layered to your liking. FYI: At 2.7 ounces, it's the perfect purse size.
Philosophy Pure Grace Body Spritz
Philosophy Pure Grace Body Spritz ($NaN)
Philosophy's Pure Grace scent is a cult favorite, and it just so happens to be available in a body mist format. With each spritz, you can expect to catch a whiff of soap and water, fresh laundry, and the refreshing calm of a cold winter's night. It's a crisp, subtle, forever crowd-pleaser.
Diptyque Do Son Body Mist
Diptyque Do Son Body Mist ($NaN)
Yep—even your favorite candle brand makes scrumptious body mists. The Diptyque Do Son Body Mist is a powdery, refreshing fragrance with notes of white lotus, tuberose, orange blossom, and jasmine. Thanks to the micro-fine formula, you don't have to worry about it leaving spots on delicate fabrics the way some other mists might.
Good Chemistry Queen Bee Body Mist
Good Chemistry Queen Bee Body Mist ($NaN)
Want to pay homage to Beyonce on her rise to country stardom? Opt for a bottle of Queen Bee Body Mist. While it's not affiliated with her in any way, we'd like to think she'd be a fan of the name, not to mention the delicious black currant, peony, and amber profile.

Victoria's Secret Tease Fine Body Mist ($NaN)
When Victoria's Secret launched Tease as part of its Sexy Little Things Noir collection in 2010, it was one of the most scandalous scent debuts of the time, simply due to the name. Now, the fan-favorite fragrance is available in body mist form, featuring the same familiar notes of white gardenia, anjou pear, and black vanilla. (If you prefer richer, sweeter scents, the brand also sells Tease Candy Noir, showcasing notes of raspberry, iris, and tonka.)
