Body mists are one of the most cost effective types of fragrance for the body and clothes to purchase on the high street. They can be super cheap, as low as 89p, or much more, depending on your budget. Let’s be honest, if you like body mists and use them regularly, you will buy them more at a more affordable and lower price point. My latest body mist purchase was from Superdrug in the form of Scentology’s Pomelo & Neroli Body Mist. Normally £7.99 for 200ml, but I bought it when it was half price AND a buy one get one free! So is it any good?
Packaging
This body mist comes in a clear, slightly frosted bottle. White lid, spray applicator and a very simple black lettering on the front. Despite how plain this packaging is it looks good, more expensive than what it costs and could be bought for or by any aged person, so would be attractive to anyone.
Fragrance
The most simple way I can describe how Scentology’s Pomelo & Neroli Body Mist smells is it’s a blend of white florals with a light peach fruitiness to it. There’s also a hint of a slightly musky aromatherapy, earthy scent added in there as well. It sounds like a lot going on scent wise but this mix is actually a nice one. Not too heavy, strangely quite uplifting and light, but has depth to it.
Strength & Longevity
Strength when first applied is a medium. But I feel it weakens quite quickly so I reapply it. Longevity for me could be better. It’s still there a few hours later but faint. I like my fragrances to linger longer and stronger. Important to add I rarely apply fragrance to skin it’s always on my clothes. So this may behave differently on skin.
Recommended?
I actually like this body mist! And you would too if you like a fragrance to be floral with a hint of fruit to it. It smells great and is perfect for Spring and Summer wearing. But what about the longevity and strength? To be honest, as long as you don’t purchase this at full price reapplying this if and when needed isn’t a big thing. It’s a generous 200ml size, I use this ALOT and it’s still full. Not everyone wants heavy, obvious fragrances so this could be ideal for them. So am I happy to use this? Yes, I use it daily. Would I recommend it? I would, for the right person and at the right price!
* A quick note. My 13 year old daughter borrowed this and says how nice it smells. I’m not getting it back! And she’s asked for this for her birthday. So thumbs up from her.
There are a few different fragrances at Superdrug in the Scentology body mist range. Hopefully something for everyone’s fragrance taste.
