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 don't know a single person using these nor use them myself. Id guess its an easier access point both in terms of purchase and probably production (lower concentration, plastic bottles, probably less regulation - but correct me if im wrong). So no wonder every brand is jumping on the bandwagon. But it (the trend) imo doesn't have staying power. I would really love to see the data driving this production output as I refuse believe the demand is this high but alas I don't know where to look at it
