Things To Keep In Mind When Buying A Body Mist
- Scent
The scent of body mists is categorized into different types:
- Floral – Contains fruity or spicy fragrances.
- Citrus – Fresh and light fragrances from citrus fruits like orange and lemon.
- Chypre – A combination of woody, citrus, and floral scents.
- Oriental – Spicy, bold, and warm fragrances such as vanilla or musk.
Opt for a scent that suits your taste, style, and mood. If you are in a party mood, opt for a chypre scent. For a regular working day, citrus is the right choice. Go for a floral or oriental fragrance for a romantic date.
- Staying Power
The staying power of any perfume depends on the concentration of alcohol in it. The higher the concentration of alcohol, the longer it stays on your skin. You can also refer to user reviews to get an idea about the longevity.
- Your Body Odor
The effectiveness of any mist depends on your body odor. The scents club with your body odor and produce a pleasant, neutral, or unpleasant smell. If you have oily skin, the scents will stay longer. In the case of dry or sensitive skin, the scent may disappear quickly. Therefore, intense and strong fragrances like musk or vanilla make a better choice for dry skin.
- Weather
Did you know that weather also affects the effectiveness and staying power of body mists? Therefore, choose a mist according to the season or weather. For the humid or summer season, opt for a mist with a cool or citrus fragrance. For winters, woody aromas work the best, and for monsoons, oriental or spicy scents are perfect.
- Cost
Body mists are budget-friendly and meant for regular use. They can be used as an alternative to deodorants as they offer an intense and extended stay. If you are on a budget, you can find a decent formula for about INR 200. The more expensive ones from more prominent brands can cost INR 1000 or more. A good, mid-range formula will cost you anywhere between INR 400 to INR 600.
A body mist is not as expensive as perfumes and is skin-friendly too. A light application can refresh your mood and keep you rejuvenated for long hours. Choose from the above list and keep yourself refreshed all day.
