Cucumber Melon. Sweet Pea. Juniper Breeze. If those scents unlocked core memories for you, you probably grew up in the early 2000s, when body sprays, often purchased from Bath & Body Works or the Body Shop, had an absolute chokehold on tweens and teens. Their appeal made sense — they were more affordable and accessible than perfumes. They were also easy to take to school and stash in your locker to touch up your signature scent throughout the day. And now, as many Y2K trends make a comeback, body sprays are also back, baby.
Online searches for body sprays are up 9.8% compared to last year, and the #bodymist hashtag has exceeded 1.4 billion views on TikTok (yes, billion with a "B"). A combination of millennial nostalgia and a younger generation that's embracing old trends that have come back around has converged, and now, it's time to ditch the parfum and mist on some body spray, whether it's a new scent from SOL DE JANEIRO or Henry Rose or something nostalgic from Victoria's Secret or Bath and Body Works.
