Body spray spritz or mist for an adult woman

28 replies

I want to get a body spray for me I'm in my late 40s, to wear during an exercise class. But they all smell too overpowering, so sweet, vanillary or fruity.

Does anyone know of anything light and clean smelling that I could try. I used to like the Sanctuary one but it smells a bit like furniture polish now.

I do shower daily (and post workout) and my workout clothes are clean on for each class!
Thanks

Or Yves rocher orange blossom or lily of the valley sprays.

And Other Stories do a lovely range of body mists, the scents are really nice, would definitely pass as an expensive perfume

Thanks to everyone who made suggestions, I've been out today and tried a lot of them. Actually, it has made me think that a fragranced water is far more "me" than perfume is.

I have got the Roger and Gallet Fragrant Water Mist in Bois D'Orange but there were several others in the range which were tempting. 20% off in M&S currently.

I've also decided that I would like another couple for outside of my class: the Nuxe Delicious Fragrant Water Mist for the summer, the Body Shop for everyday but couldn't decide which I liked the most out of the Cherry Blossom, Lotus Water or Jasmine one so am going to wait and I really like the Clarins ones, my Mum wears ED as her signature but I like the blue one a lot and have worn it in the past.

The Fenjal was gorgeous but it turned too sweet on me. The Vaseline Aloe Deodorant does smell lovely but Ive been faithful to my Vichy roll-on for over 20 years!

Nowhere locally stocks Other Stories, Yves Rocher, or the Space NK ones. Boots didn't have a tester of 4711 or Hawain Tropics so I couldn't try it and all they only had floral Yardley ones.

For those of you worried that I'm going to be subjecting my class to an eyewatering cloud of Poison or can of Impulse Seduction, that was never my intention. I'm just a peri-menopausal woman who sometimes has hot flushes and I just want to feel comfortable and confident in my own skin. And if I find that no-one wants to work with me, then I'll know to pass on my single squirt of fragranced water!
