10 Best Body Mists That Layer Well With Perfumes and Lotions 2024

Fragrance layering is one of the most talked about beauty and scent trends on TikTok. From the hundreds of thousands of views on how-tos, it's clear that everyone wants to smell good all day long (including us). One of the best ways to do that is to extend the wear of your scents and layer the best body mists with your favorite perfumes (or fragrance dupes).
Some of the most popular body mists are from fragrance brands like Sol de Janeiro (Cheirosa 68 is a good dupe for Baccart Rouge 540), Bath & Body Works, and Victoria’s Secret (remember everyone’s go-to scent, Love Spell). But plenty of newer brands have also gone viral across social media, like Phlur and Ellis Brooklyn (which has a collection of beach-inspired mists). So, if you’re in the market for new fragrances, check out some of our favorite body sprays below. We've got a list ranging from sweet, fruity florals (think: Cherry Blossom from B&BW) to warm gourmands and musk sandalwood notes.
