Body sprays, mists & perfume & what’s the difference?
The formula, or the ratio of concentrated oil to water and
alcohol, is the most significant distinction between a body spray and a
perfume. Body sprays contain less concentrated oil and more alcohol, whereas
perfume in various forms contains more oil and less water or alcohol.
Body sprays for men and body sprays for women
are available, and both are typically light and refreshing, and can be applied
to the skin or sprayed directly on clothing. However, because of their lower
concentration of concentrated oil, they do not have the longest staying power.
Nonetheless, the generously sized sprays are frequently less expensive to
purchase, allowing you to top up throughout the day and enjoy it liberally
without fear of it running out.
Perfumes are available in a variety of strengths and formulas,
including Eau de Cologne, Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Parfum, with each
containing an increasing amount of concentrated oil. The more oil in a
fragrance, the stronger the aroma and the longer it will last on the skin.
A body mist is a
light, soft version of a fragrance that is typically feminine and contains
fruity, floral notes. They are very similar to body sprays in that they contain
a higher concentration of alcohol and water with a lower concentration of
concentrated oils.
Body mists have seen a revival in recent years (thanks largely to
Victoria's Secret body mists) and have come a long way since their sickly-sweet
'P.E school kit' days! These lighter, brighter formulas are ideal for everyday
wear and layering with complementary perfumes or body products like shower gel
or body lotions.
WHICH OCCASIONS DO I APPLY BODY SPRAY, MIST, OR PERFUME?
Wearing a body spray or a body mist for any casual activity, such
as going to the store, meeting a friend for a low-key lunch, or doing the
school run, because they have a lighter scent that lasts for a shorter period
of time. When it comes to perfumes, consider how long you want your scent to
last and the impression you want to make.
For work or days when you will be seeing people face to face, an
Eau de Toilette perfume is a great choice. Alternatively, they are an excellent
choice when you want to make a strong impression but don't want your scent to
be overpowering.
If you want to turn heads or have people ask you, "What are
you wearing, that smells amazing?" an Eau de Parfum or even a Parfum is
the way to go. With a more intense note profile, they have incredible staying
power.
