We Smelled Dozens of Body Sprays—These 11 Will Leave You Smelling the Best

Fragrance formulated with your skin in mind is always a good idea. This mist from Josie Maran is a bright, citrusy scent and has a milky texture and actually works to soften skin thanks to the infusion of argan oil. It also sprays a “light, gentle mist,” according to our pros in the Beauty Lab who also gave it a Beauty Award.

A personal favorite of GH Senior Beauty & Style Director April Franzino, this mist is a multitasker. “I love misting this around me during the workday—the earthy aromatherapy blend of sandalwood, palo santo, frankincense, and more instantly grounds and calms me even in the middle of hectic days,” she says. “You can spray it on linens, too, so you can use it before going to sleep. Plus, each product is hand-blended by the founder.”

With a recent expansion into fragrance, eos proves it knows what it’s doing with this body mist. A blend of musk, woods, cream, and vanilla form a sweet scent that has complexity. It is also formulated with hyaluronic acid and aloe for added skincare benefits, which helped earn it a Beauty Award. GH Contributing Beauty Editor Dori Price loved that she “could spray this on larger areas of skin without it being drying,” she says.

You’ll feel instantly transported to paradise when you wear this bright fragrance. With fresh notes of solar flowers and creamy coconut, this mist evokes the scent of a tropical breeze. It’s light and slightly musky, so it’ll easily layer with your favorite floral, vanilla, or citrus scents.

If you’re looking for a sophisticated floral scent, I would suggest this mist that can be spritzed in your hair or on your body. Not only is its scent reminiscent of walking through a garden in full bloom, but it’s also long lasting so you’ll get to experience its lingering scent for hours instead of just a brief moment.

Bright and citrusy, this scent is ideal for a sunny summer day. It features notes of lemon, clementine, and pear blossom alongside cedarwood and musk. GH editor Adrianna Freedman says it’s her go-to layering scent. “I like this scent, as it smells very similar to the Ellis Brooklyn Sun Fruit perfume but less intense,” she says. “I particularly like to use it when I need a good refresh when on the go. It's also a fraction of the price from the original perfume, which is perfect for someone who doesn't necessarily like to spend too much on my fragrances!”

It never occurred to me that I could actually smell like my favorite childhood cereal, but Snif pulls it off so well in this body mist. Yes, it has sweet, sugary notes of strawberry, lemon sugar, and cereal accord (which leans into the milk fragrance trend), but they are balanced out with florals and sandalwood that make it completely wearable.

A personal favorite of mine, this warm, tropical scent never fails to get me plenty of compliments. The creamy coconut and warm vanilla are perfectly paired, creating a fragrance that isn’t overly sweet but still feels grounded and close to the skin. I typically pair it with the perfume version of the fragrance.

Looking for a unique scent to add to your collection? This Boy Smells x Bratz collaboration features a plastic doll accord that you probably haven’t smelled before. “I bought it when I heard it has a plastic doll accord because I love unique scents like that!” says GH Beauty Lab Reviews Analyst Chiara Butler. “It's a very fun, powdery strawberry vanilla. The scent is nostalgic, but it's not childish. Notes of amber and rose make it grown-up enough for a woman to wear.”
