How to Use a Body and Hair Mist: The Complete Guide to Fragrancing and Caring for Your Skin and Hair

A gentler alternative to traditional perfumes

Conventional perfumes, which are particularly concentrated in fragrant molecules, can be overpowering for some people – especially in summer, when their scents create an explosive combination with the heat of the skin and perspiration. If you’re looking for a gentler option to scent yourself in a pleasant yet subtle way, consider using a body and hair mist.

A 2-in-1 Step: Fragrance and Care

Unlike traditional perfumes, some mists combine the pleasure of scent with a new, holistic dimension. When enriched with skincare active ingredients, they offer additional benefits to the areas where they leave their precious scent. Using a body and hair mist is therefore a way of treating yourself and looking after your well-being as a whole.

"What’s unique is having a fragrance that also cares for your skin. It all comes down to the composition of this mist. It is formulated without alcohol, using a combination of moisturising active ingredients such as polyglutamic acid (with a low molecular weight), seawater (rich in moisturising electrolytes) and an amino acid derivative that prevents frizz in the hair. It also contains organic aloe vera, a super-hydrating ingredient. Results: the mist refreshes, hydrates and restores the skin’s barrier, leaving hair soft and shiny, whilst providing a long-lasting fragrance."

In the morning

The right way to apply perfume: 1 to 2 targeted sprays on the collarbones or wrists (without rubbing) for a long-lasting scent.

The final step in your getting-ready routine: use your fragrance mist as you would a perfume, to enhance your look and leave a scent that’s uniquely yours. Feel free to apply it to your neck, behind your ears, on your wrists or even in your hair. If you’re spraying it onto your clothes, try to do so from a distance of about 25 centimetres to avoid stains.

Throughout the day

The right way to apply perfume : 1 spray on an area other than the one you perfumed in the morning, such as the inside of your elbows, the nape of your neck or your hair.

Although it’s clinically proven that our mist has a long-lasting scent, its sillage remains more subtle and light than that of a conventional perfume. If you’d like to enhance your sillage some time after your last application, you can apply several touch-ups throughout the day. Top tip: carry your bottle of mist with you everywhere in your favourite bag.

After your shower

The right way to apply perfume: 2 to 3 targeted sprays on the chest to maximise hydration and help the fragrance molecules linger.

This is the best time of day to maximise your mist’s moisturising effects. A few sprays onto skin that’s still damp allow the moisturising active ingredients to lock in the water present on the surface of your skin (1). So, resist the temptation to dry your skin completely with a towel before applying the mist to your body – it would be a shame to waste it.

After exercise

The right way to apply perfume: one light spray in a cloud above you to enjoy the experience whilst minimising the risk of the scent becoming overpowering.

Thanks to its immediate refreshing effect, our mist adds a touch of wellbeing to all your training sessions. The secret to getting the most out of it: wait about ten minutes after exercising, to allow your body temperature to drop. A fragrance sprayed onto skin that’s too warm evaporates too quickly (2), which could alter its olfactory development.

Before heading out

The right way to apply perfume: 2 sprays on pulse points, such as the wrists, and a gentle pass through the mist for a more diffused effect.   

Remember to adjust the intensity of your scent to suit the occasion. Before a romantic date, feel free to apply it to both your wrists and your hair so that every movement you make (hands, head) releases delightful hints of orange blossom. Conversely, for a business meeting in an enclosed space, limit yourself to a single spray under your clothes.

Before bed

The right way to apply perfume: one very light spray on a small area away from your nose (lower body) to avoid overwhelming your sense of smell.

Many of us incorporate a few drops of perfume into our bedtime routine. The scent of orange blossom, renowned for its soothing properties, is ideal for gently enhancing the moment you drift off to sleep. Just make sure not to overdo it: choosing a scented mist rather than a perfume will give you a much lighter and more comfortable experience.

Using a body and hair mist is slightly different from applying a traditional perfume. For example, it’s best to spray it from a slightly greater distance to ensure the formula is distributed evenly. Also, make sure to apply it to a different area each time you touch up.

1. Hold the bottle 15–20 cm away from the area you wish to apply the fragrance to. This distance is ideal for creating an even, fragrant veil over a large area (body, hair).

2. Spray the mist onto your skin and let the fragrance dry naturally. Do not rub it in: this could interfere with the evaporation process.

3. Spray the mist onto your hair: there’s no need to use too much, as the fragrance molecules have a strong affinity for the hair’s keratin and cling to it easily.

4. Reapply whenever you feel like it.

Applying your mist to your hair can help you achieve better hold and a long-lasting scent trail. This is because the fragrance molecules effortlessly cling to the micro-irregularities of the hair fibre. The fact that hair is covered in a thin oily film (sebum) also provides an ideal base for a fragrance, as its scent molecules are usually lipophilic. There are, however, a few techniques to master to scent your hair without damaging its cuticle.

Whatever your skin or hair type, always carry out a sensitivity test before using the product for the first time. To do this, apply one press of the body and hair mist to the crook of your elbow. Then wait 48 hours to check for any adverse reactions.

Fancy a subtle trail or a more powerful signature scent? Here’s the golden rule to remember: the closer the application area is to your nose, the more noticeable your scent will be to those around you. Therefore, if you want a subtle scent, spray your forearms or chest, underneath your clothes. Conversely, if you want to draw attention to yourself when you enter a room, apply the fragrance to the nape of your neck, your shoulders, your neck and your hair instead.
