Let’s get to it: fine fragrance mist or perfume?

Which one should you pick? Do they last just as long on the skin? Is one stronger than the other? Don’t worry – we’re going to break it all down for you in the ultimate comparison between our two sprays.

The key differences

So, what are the main things you should think about when comparing these two lovely essentials? We’ll begin with the most basic differences – from cost to the number of fragrances available and more. Let’s get started.

Perfume:

 This is the most luxurious spray we offer and it only comes in the most exclusive fragrances we offer – so if you can find your favorite one, we totally recommend checking it out. It has a higher concentration of fragrance oils, making it stronger and longer lasting than its fine fragrance mist cousin. Another way it stands out? Beautiful packaging and pretty bottles that’re perfect for your display case..

Fine Fragrance Mist:

 It’s our lightest and airiest body spray blend. And even better – it has conditioning aloe in it to nourish your skin, too. Unlike our perfume collection, you can find almost all of our fragrances in a fine fragrance mist..

What to wear when

Since they’re both fragrance sprays, you probably don’t automatically think there’s too much of a difference in where or when you use it. However, we bet we have a few tips and tricks that’ll help you pick between the two of them (hint, hint…what about traveling with them yet?) that you haven’t even thought of yet.

Perfume: Since perfume lasts longer than your average body spray, it’s great for when you’re going out for long nights where you can’t touch up your scent or feel like carrying a bottle around – it may be the better choice. It’s also perfect for extra-luxe events, date nights, weddings or just treating yourself to something special when you need spoiling. And if you do need to take this gorgeous essential somewhere, we have mini travel size bottles, too.

Fine Fragrance Mist: Think of this goodie as your daily go-to. It’s easy to stock up on and with so many different scents available, you may as well so you can have a huge variety or a fragrance for every day of the week. Why not? Like perfume, it also comes in a travel size, so you can pop one in your car console, desk drawer, purse or wherever else you find yourself needing a touch-up.

Both! These sprays are amazing, so no matter if you pick just one or both of them, there’s plenty of ways to love it and wear it.
