Scents and smells play an important role in our lives. Studies conducted recently have shown that men and women are attracted to each other depending on their body scent. Now we can’t really smell each other at a distance, but our brains can pickup certain smells that we don’t really notice and process it into different signals. This is a basic animal instinct that has stuck on to us since the beginning of mankind. Smelling good is as important as looking good. So selecting the right scent is imperative.
It’s a well known fact that certain aromas alter the moods of men and women, and full studies have been conducted on various types of aromatherapy and how specific smells make people react or how it makes them feel.
Some women love to wear a fragrance, but find that perfume or cologne is too heavy of an aroma. So, let’s discuss the alternatives to perfume, including body splash, body mists and deodorant sprays- all of which have a lighter scent that is easier on the nose!
Using Body Mists or Body Splashes
There are two main ways you can use body mist or body splash products to give yourself the pleasure of a light and refreshing scent of your choice. The most common way to use these aroma products is to spray lightly on your skin after taking a shower or bath. The scent will be present, but not overpowering and will last throughout the day. You can also spray the outside of your clothing with a light layer of scent to help the aroma last longer.
The less common way to use a body mist or body splash is to select a scent that you would enjoy smelling all over the house – such as flowers or the aroma of freshly cleaned linens! Using these scents, you can lightly spray the fabrics around your house – including the furniture and curtains, to help freshen up and give the house a pleasant smell that isn’t overly strong.
The Body Mist Difference
Perfumes and colognes are generally created with a fairly heavy scent. While you may really like the aroma, it might be unpleasant simply because it is so strong. For this reason, body mists and splashes were created to give people with more sensitive noses a way to enjoy a light fragrance without being overwhelming. The lighter scents also allow the products to be sprayed around the house as an air freshener.
Deodorant Sprays
A very similar product to body mists and splashes is the deodorant spray. Deodorant sprays contain light fragrances in a variety of different scents, and are also lightly sprayed on the body. It’s best when used with a roll on or gel deodorant, and can be sprayed in other areas of your body other than your underarm area to help maximize the deodorant’s power.
Some skins can be sensitive to certain types of body sprays, so before you use a spray the first time, try it out on a small portion of your body. If you feel a burning sensation, it means that your skin is reacting to it, and you should discontinue its use.
