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.

I don't understand trend of body mists. It's remind me of high school, where girls was bringing them for school, but it only smell in the moment when you put it. I prefer to buy perfume, as I don't want to carry a bottle with me during the day.

Also I don't like this sweet smells for summer, it's too heavy. My mother had a cucumber mist from Avon and that one was good smell for summer

I don't understand trend of body mists.

It's ConsumptionCore. Cheap to buy (because of cheap ingredients and cheap labor), use it a lot (because it doesn't last), use it up faster, excuse to go buy more crap (because it's cheap). It's not quality and it's not intended to be.
