Key Takeaways:
- Using perfume and body mist together can help your scent last longer and smell stronger.
- Layering complementary scents allows you to craft your own signature smell.
Everyone’s on a mission to smell their best, and this can lead to creative product combinations. Some people try to match their moisturizer to their fragrance or pick out their laundry detergent with their signature scent in mind.
That said, this guide is going to take a look at one unbeatable fragrance duo: body mist and perfume. We’ll break down the difference between these two, how you can layer them, and some of our favorite body mists from the Snif line.
How Are Body Mist and Perfume Different?
The main difference between body mist and perfume is the strength of the fragrances they emit and the type of fragrance notes they contain. Body mists usually have light, subtle scents that last anywhere from one to three hours and do not contain any rich, deep base notes.
Because they’re less concentrated than perfumes, they tend to evaporate faster. Perfumes can last anywhere from 6-12 hours, depending on their concentration.
Can You Layer Body Mist and Perfume?
Yes! You can absolutely layer body mist and perfume. In fact, one of the best ways to create a scent that’s truly unique to you is by blending a body mist and perfume.
Given that perfumes contain more fragrance oil, keep in mind that the scent of your perfume will far outlast the scent of your body spray, so you may need to reapply the body spray throughout the day to maintain a consistent smell.
What Are Some Body Mists To Try?
Now that you know body mists and perfumes are a great match, you might want to try the combo for yourself.
