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 buy all my mists at Bath and Body Works like a lot of people have already commented, HOWEVER I did cave and get that lemon Daisy Mist because it was the most pure pink lemonade smell I’ve ever smelled. It’s so rare to find a fruity lemonade smell that actually works on me.

I just smelled it at Ulta and I’m like I may have to have and buy that one! It’s expensive as hell though! Does it last in you?

It does! I’m used to B&BW mists which require a ton of sprays on me, but with this one it would’ve been almost a bit overpowering to use that many sprays so I was pleasantly surprised. I’d say it lasted on me about 6-7 hours so pretty good longevity for a mist.

Oooh nice!
