Miss Dior Body Mist

Sold in full as Miss Dior Brume Soyeuse pour le Corps, this is Dior's body-care reading of its most recognisable feminine signature. Dior positions it as a hybrid product rather than a fragrance: an easy-to-apply, light and non-oily formula that combines the benefits of a body treatment with the freshness of a mist, and that holds the skin's hydration for six hours. The scent is not a separate composition. It carries the Miss Dior fragrance itself, which means the same powdery floral architecture the Eau de Parfum is built on: a bright, slightly green top of iris, peony and lily of the valley, a heart where rose sits alongside soft stone fruit, and a base of vanilla, musk, tonka bean, sandalwood and benzoin that gives the whole thing its comforting drydown. What changes is the volume. A body mist is formulated far weaker than an Eau de Parfum, so expect an hour or two of clear scent and effectively no trail. That is the intended use: apply to dry skin after a bath or shower and either wear it alone on a day when a full fragrance would be too much, or lay it down under the Eau de Parfum to make the trail last longer. Spring and summer suit it best, and it is easy to wear anywhere.
