Why does body mist smell better than perfume?

"Nothing is more memorable than a smell." People may forget your name or where you come from but what they will always remember is the kind of aroma you brought in when you first enter the room. Let us accept it - body odour is a big turn off! It not just creates a bad impression but smelling unpleasant says a lot about a person i.e his eating habits, poor hygiene, excessive sweating, etc. However, one can surely change that with the help of a body mist or perfume. Now if you think both are the same thing then you are completely wrong! 

While perfume or Eau de Parfum is comparatively high in concentration of fragrance oils, body mist is more like a water-like splash with a lighter concentration of perfume oil. However, perfume and body mist are two words in the world of beauty that people often misuse a lot. So, if you are curious to know the difference between the two then read on to know!

1. Scent: 

Let's start with the basics. One of the major differences between the two is the scent. A body mist has a light and more subtle scent than a perfume which is heavy. Moreso, it is in the name, body mist - it is something that weighs you down, also meant to be light and airy. Perfume, on the other hand, is mostly based on heavy scents. 

2. Ingredients: 

Body mist is mainly water or alcohol mixed with a small amount of fragrance oil which provides a much lighter scent than a perfume. Whereas perfume comprises a higher concentration of fragrance oils mixed with water or alcohol, hence it gives a richer and bolder vibe as compared to a body mist. 

3. Cost:

One of the major differences, body mists are way cheaper than perfumes. Chances of you spending less on body mists and smelling good at the same time are higher. Talking about perfume, they can get as expensive as tens of thousands. Unlike body mist, owning a perfume is a luxury.

4. Long-lasting: 

Unlike Eau de Parfum, body mist does not last long. So in that case, one needs to reapply too often because it cannot linger more than a few hours. The perfume contains oil which is why it has the longest staying power as compared to body mist. 

5. Oil content: 

As mentioned above, perfume contains oil which makes it lasts longer than a body mist. Mist, on the other hand, has lesser oil content as compared to perfume. The more oil in it, the stronger and long-lasting the scent is.

6. Alcohol percentage: 

The alcohol percentage is higher in body mist than perfume. While perfume has a mixture of about 10-20 percent of perfume oils mixed with alcohol, body mist, on the other hand, contains a higher percentage of alcohol. 

So now that you know the difference, perfume or body mist, which product are you going to purchase next?

Which one should you pick? Do they last just as long on the skin? Is one stronger than the other? Don’t worry – we’re going to break it all down for you in the ultimate comparison between our two sprays.

The key differences

So, what are the main things you should think about when comparing these two lovely essentials? We’ll begin with the most basic differences – from cost to the number of fragrances available and more. Let’s get started.

Perfume: This is the most luxurious spray we offer and it only comes in the most exclusive fragrances we offer – so if you can find your favorite one, we totally recommend checking it out. It has a higher concentration of fragrance oils, making it stronger and longer lasting than its fine fragrance mist cousin. Another way it stands out? Beautiful packaging and pretty bottles that’re perfect for your display case. You can find our perfumes at a price point of about $39.50.

Fine Fragrance Mist: It’s our lightest and airiest body spray blend. And even better – it has conditioning aloe in it to nourish your skin, too. Unlike our perfume collection, you can find almost all of our fragrances in a fine fragrance mist. These goodies are available at a price point of about $15.50 – so if you’re new to fragrance or don’t use it a lot, these are great options for you.

Since they’re both fragrance sprays, you probably don’t automatically think there’s too much of a difference in where or when you use it. However, we bet we have a few tips and tricks that’ll help you pick between the two of them (hint, hint…what about traveling with them yet?) that you haven’t even thought of yet.

Perfume: Since perfume lasts longer than your average body spray, it’s great for when you’re going out for long nights where you can’t touch up your scent or feel like carrying a bottle around – it may be the better choice. It’s also perfect for extra-luxe events, date nights, weddings or just treating yourself to something special when you need spoiling. And if you do need to take this gorgeous essential somewhere, we have mini travel size bottles, too.

Fine Fragrance Mist: Think of this goodie as your daily go-to. It’s easy to stock up on and with so many different scents available, you may as well so you can have a huge variety or a fragrance for every day of the week. Why not? Like perfume, it also comes in a travel size, so you can pop one in your car console, desk drawer, purse or wherever else you find yourself needing a touch-up.

Both! These sprays are amazing, so no matter if you pick just one or both of them, there’s plenty of ways to love it and wear it. If you need a more in-depth look into either, take a peek at our Fine Fragrance Mist 101 or Eau de Parfum 101 – these articles can answer almost every question you’ve ever had about either and you may learn something new (win-win)!
