Scents linger in our hair. If you’ve ever left a barbecue still smelling like the grill smoke or are quick to give your strands a refresh after the gym, you know this all too well. While our tresses may hang on to unwanted scents longer than we’d prefer, the same porous nature is what makes spraying perfume in your hair a game changer.

Our top picks:

Best Value: Kitsch Warm Sugar Hair Perfume

Best Floral: Dipytique Eau Rose Hair Mist

Best Luxury: Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Hair Perfume

Best Fruity: Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia Hair Mist

If you’re looking to elevate your fragrance wardrobe, investing in the best hair perfume is the natural next step in curating your signature scent. While typical perfumes contain alcohol that can dry out hair, most hair perfumes are formulated with less alcohol and often times oils that help preserve the hair's moisture.

Chanel's celebrated perfume with complex citrus, amber, and woodsy notes also comes in a hair mist format. "I spray this in my brush and the classic scent stays all day," a reviewer said.
