The days of dousing yourself in cologne are over. These days, more and more men are switching over to body sprays, which take all the benefits of your cologne, but pair them down into pocket-sized packages that won’t weigh you down… literally.
The best body sprays come in lightweight tubes that usually range from four to six ounces in size. They’re portable enough to take with you to the gym, to work, or on a trip, without being as heavy or fragile as a bottle of cologne. Also known as body mists, the best body sprays allow for better distribution of your favorite scent, with the spray nozzle dispensing a wider field of coverage versus, say, dabbing your cologne on your wrists or neck.
And while colognes can often feel too strong or rich, all of the body sprays on our list feature lightweight formulas that won’t overpower any noses. What you get: fresh, bright scents that work both day and night.
To use a body spray, hold the can about four to six inches away from your body, and spray liberally on your chest and neck. Many men like a few spritzes on their wrist and torso too. Just avoid spraying directly on any clothing; you don’t want any of the ingredients in the body spray ruining your garments.
A great body mist is the perfect finishing touch to complete your look, adding that je ne sais quoi to your outfit and vibe. Leaving a particularly sweaty workout or need a quick touch up before heading on a date? The best body sprays double as a way to mask odors too, leaving you feeling refreshed and confident.
