What is body mist: Key takeaways
- Body mists are light, airy fragrances designed for full-body application, offering a subtle scent boost without the intensity of a perfume.
- With just 1-5% fragrance oil compared to perfume's 5-20%, body mists are perfect for quick top-ups after the gym, between meetings, or on a night out.
- Rather than choosing between the two, body mists and perfumes work brilliantly together, layering for extra fragrance on big occasions.
- For maximum pampering, mist NYX's FAT Body Mists over damp skin after applying a body oil and butter, locking in scent alongside hydration.
- NYX's FAT Body Mist range has something for every mood, from Suga Baddie's cosy vanilla to Juicy Boo's zesty citrus and mango twist.
- Keep your chosen mist on hand for easy top-ups throughout the day, whether you're after Coconut Cutie's tropical vibe or Caramelt Mami's rich, sweet finish.
What is body mist?
First, let’s deal with the biggest question: what is body mist?
As their name suggests, body mists are light, airy fragrances that offer a subtle scent. Unlike colognes or perfumes, they’re sprayed all over the body and can be the perfect complement to creams, stronger perfumes, or shower gels.
Most body mists are light and brightly fragranced, making them perfect for quick spritzes after the gym, on the way to work, or mid-night-out if you need a scent top-up.

Body mist vs perfume
If you’re new to body mists, you’re probably wondering whether they’re worth using, especially if you already have a perfume (or perfumes) that you use regularly.
While some people may think of body mists vs perfume as an either-or, we prefer to look at the products as the perfect complement for each other:
- Perfumes are strong, lasting fragrances. Depending on the type of perfume you get, they can contain anywhere from 5-20% fragrance oil. Perfumes are perfect for big occasions, weddings, birthdays, anniversary dinners, or anytime you need a powerful and long-lasting fragrance.
- Body mists are lighter, more delicate fragrances. Most body mists will have anywhere between 1-5% concentrations of fragrance oil, making them perfect for everyday use and quick spritzes. You can use body mists whenever you want, but we think they’re perfect for refreshing after the gym, quick fragrance top-ups between meetings or on a night out, or as the perfect pair with your perfume on a big day.

How to use body mist
So, now you know what it is, let’s look at how to use body mist in a pampering body-care routine with some of our favourite NYX products:
-
-
Step 1: Start with a shower
Start your routine with a bath or shower, whichever you prefer. Body oils and butters both work better on damp skin, so once you’ve finished your wash, make sure not to dry off completely.
Step 2: Pick your favourite body oil
Once your skin is just about damp, it’s time to use your FAT Body Oil.
Massage a generous amount of Fat Oil Body Oil Suga Baddie into your legs, arms, and chest. Start at your ankles, and massage it gently into your skin using circular motions with your palm. Work your way up to the top of your chest, then down your arms.
Step 3: Nourish with body butter
Once your body oil is on, keep on pampering your skin with one of our FAT Body Butters.
Apply a good amount of our Suga Baddie Fat Oil Body Butter to the same areas you applied your body oil, and massage it into your skin well.
Step 4: Finish with a body mist
Finally, once your body oil and butter have absorbed, it’s time for one of our FAT Body Mists
Mist our Suga Baddie Hair & Body Fragrance Mist all over your hair and body for a scent that will have you smellin' like the snack you are! Keep misting throughout the day to keep your scent topped up.
