Bruma perfumada para cuerpo y cabello

A perfumed mist is a diluted perfume, designed to be sprayed generously over the body and hair rather than dabbed on the pulse points. Less concentrated than an eau de parfum, it leaves a light veil that can be refreshed during the day without saturating.

Twenty-nine references here, in 150 ml and 250 ml, from Lattafa, Dubai Flower, Asdaaf, Gris Montaigne and Volaré.

Mist, eau de parfum, room freshener: not the same thing

All three are sprayed, but not in the same place.

• The body and hair mist is worn on the skin and the lengths of the hair. Its low concentration makes it suitable for repeated use; it is the most forgiving format.
• The eau de parfum is dosed at one or two sprays, on clean skin. Longer wear, a more assertive trail.
• The room freshener, often in 300 ml, scents a room or fabrics. It is not made for the skin.

On hair, one precaution

The mists in this range are designed for the lengths, not the scalp. Spray from about twenty centimetres, on dry hair, avoiding the roots. On coloured or very dry hair, space out the applications: any alcohol-based mist dries hair over time.

150 or 250 ml

The 150 ml fits in a bag and follows you through the day; it is the format of the Lattafa mists, based on their flagship perfumes: Yara, Mayar, Fakhar, Haya, Shahd. The 250 ml, from Dubai Flower and Volaré, stays at home and lasts noticeably longer for the same use.

If you already wear the matching eau de parfum, the mist of the same name extends the trail without doubling it: spray the mist on hair and clothing, and keep the eau de parfum for the skin.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a perfumed mist last?
Two to four hours on the skin, longer on hair and clothing, where the fibre holds the scent.

Can it be applied several times a day?
Yes, that is the point of the format: the concentration is low.

Does a mist replace a perfume?
For an ordinary day, yes. For an evening, an eau de parfum will last better.
