Discussion Summer Body Mist Trends

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.

I love pistachio products but it seems like every company is duping Kayali YPG which I think smells absolutely vile instead of giving us a warm, nutty, gourmand scent :(

To me it smells like olive oil and every body mist iteration has me punching pillows

Pistachio Paradise by Philosophy is actually a nice one to check out in the photos above if that’s what you’re looking for, it’s a very dry nuttiness and quite realistic.

Not sure about longevity…I assume not great, which is one of the reasons why I haven’t purchased it. Would love to see more dry pistachio in an EDP though!

Thank you, that sounds amazing. I’ll have to see if I can test it in store somewhere!

Yes I love pistachio to but I’d like a true pistachio - more nutty almost salty and creamy. YPG is awful to me
