I don’t understand body spray.

[evilharpy]

I was lying awake in bed last night thinking about this - the things you ponder when you have insomnia.

If you’re sweaty you use antipersperant/deodorant. If you want to smell nice you use perfume. So what’s body spray for? Like Impulse. Does it go on your skin or over your clothes? What’s the point of it?

Isn’t body spray/Impulse used exclusively by teenagers? So like a cheap version of perfume.

Is that all it is Spuriouser? When I was a teenager I had perfume. Exclamation, So and Charlie Red! I never had body spray.

I used to think it was deodorant only to realise one day that it wasn’t. No idea what it is for though.

I don’t know, I never used bodyspray either, but that’s what I thought! When I was a teenager the girls in my school who smoked used it to cover the smell when they came back in, maybe that’s what it’s for

I use body spray daily to smell nice because it's cheap. Perfume is more expensive so I save that for special occasions.

I always think this too! Like someone said it reminds me of girls who smoked at lunchtime covering up the smell

I used to like matching body spray with the moisturiser, so my skin smelled nice, all over.

It is a quick cover up. It's lighter than perfume. Handy if your in close contact with people at work and don't want anything heavy on.

I used to like it after a workout, or doing weights at home, if I was going straight out shopping etc.

I have a lovely coconut one for the summer, it reminds me of a beach holiday.

Light, cheap and smells gorgeous.

When I was at school it seemed to be used instead of a shower after PE. More fool me - I thought that washing was got you clean...

It’s lighter and cheaper than perfume... I like rose scented spray from the body shop.

Ladies who use it, do you spray it in the same places as you would spray perfume (pulse points etc)? Or over your clothes?

It’s just budget perfume.

I use body spray to smell nice

I absolutely hate perfume, it’s too strong, makes me feel headachey and I work in a small office with someone very sensitive to the smell of perfume too. There’s some lovely body sprays out there. I wear deodorant then spray my décolletage with the body spray. Gives a nice, light scent.

I spray it like I spray perfume.

I like the sound of coconutty, light, summer holiday body spray

Same here!!!!
I thought it was an add on to deodorant before you spray perfume but that doesn't make sense

Where do you get them from? Whenever I've smelled them they smell very artificial and chemical like to me. I may try them after reading this thread as a cheap daily perfume.

I have a really nice floral smelling fcuk body spray I wear during the summer. After a shower I spray a mist over my body especially my neck area and arms. It lasts all day and I love it. I think that’s what body spray is for. I hate impulse though. I was going to buy one for dd the other day and took a whiff. Bleugh.

Thanks for all the replies, I am enlightened! I might buy one to try it out. What’s that coconut one?

Because when you are wearing Impulse random blokes will give you flowers.

I used to use body spray when I was younger, it was just cheap perfume.

I stopped using it when impulse stopped making Chic and Jeunesse. They were bloody lovely.

I'm in my thirties and I use body spray as well as perfume. I always have done

We all used it in the first couple of years of secondary school, much cheaper than perfume, easy to carry in a bag as the cans are light, no leaks etc.

Impulse that is.
