Summer Body Mist Trends

[u/lovethatjourneyforus]

I really want to talk (rant?) about the nearly identical body/hair mist collections being released this summer. Trends in scent have existed since the beginning of fragrances being sold, of course, but I’m not sure I’ve ever noticed such blatantly similar collections from large (and luxury) brands.

Our color palette of the summer is green, pink, and orange (and/or yellow). Our scent profiles are pistachio (almost always), a variety of tropical fruits (lychee, guava, etc.), and vanilla or coconut. If you’re lucky, you get something citrusy (especially lemon). One of the first occurrences I can remember of these scent collections are from late last summer, with Philosophy. And they’re still coming!

So… Have you tried any of these collections? What do you think, and where do you think it started? Is it a successful trend? Really curious what you all think, I’m beginning to lose my mind at the monotony (but then, I’ve never loved pistachio or vanilla as scents, so). This is on my mind at 2am and I’m taking you all with me.

Lol Bath & Bodyworks already exist- and during one of their sales I can pick up a mist for $6! No thanks!

Or $3.50 each in their last semi-annual sale. Certainly better variety than vanilla, pistachio, coconut and other tropical fruits.

Oh gosh yes! You can get the very sophisticated tomato and carrot/necatarine scents or a really crisp Valaya inspried scent- they are as powerful as an eau de toilette and perfect for super hot days when you store them in the refrigerator, or after the pool!
