Body Mist v/s Perfumes

I love body mist for the fact that I can use it for my everyday chores. It may last for just a couple of hours, but does it job.  My perfumes still have their place, especially when I have to smell good the entire day or have to attend special occasions and wouldn't have the convenience of ‘touching up’ every now and then. 

Here are a few comparatives for body mists and perfumes:

a.      Price factor – A body mist is far more affordable than a ‘good quality’ perfume which is why most people opt for it.

b.      Scent – While a body mist is wonderfully light and airy, a perfume is heavier and more concentrated.

c.       Essential oil concentration – A perfume is stronger because of the higher concentration of essential oils in it. Body sprays have a range of 1-3% compared to the 15-40% in perfumes.

d.      Lasting power – The concentration of essential oils is one of the factors that makes perfumes more expensive and increases its staying power. If you are someone who’d like to use body mists in place of perfumes and would want it to last longer, you’d just have to keep re-applying every couple of hours.

e.      Water concentration – Body mist is diluted and this is what makes it lighter and not as strong as perfumes. The water concentration in body mists is far higher than that of perfumes.

I think body mists are a great option for those who love drowning themselves in perfume leaving everyone else around them gasping for breath. Since mists are lighter, they can still drown themselves, but everyone else is happier coz they can breathe easy ;D
