PHLUR's Chriselle Lim On Why Hair And Body Mists Are Trending, Plus 16 To Spritz
PHLUR Peach Skin Hair & Body Fragrance Mist PHLUR
Perfume is meant to be worn year-round. But in heat of summer, it's a good idea to lighten up with everything and that includes fragrance. That might explain why hair and body mists, a lighter alternative to perfume, are exploding right now.
'I find hair and body mists to be super versatile, they're fresh, light and easy to use,' says Chriselle Lim, Co-Owner and Creative Director of PHLUR. 'They're the perfect way to add fragrance to your day without feeling too heavy or formal, and they're great for layering. There's also something playful and approachable about them. It's a little luxury that feels accessible, and I think that really resonates with people right now and reflects a broader shift towards embracing elevation and self-expression in our beauty routines.'

No stranger to the trend, PHLUR has expanded their presence in the category. 'Launching body mists felt like a natural next step for PHLUR as we're always thinking about ways to make fragrance more approachable and expanding the ways you can bring fragrance into different parts of your day,' Lim says. 'With body mists, we wanted to give people more ways to express themselves through fragrance. Body mists are a lighter, more effortless way to enjoy scent, while still delivering the quality and complexity our customers expect from PHLUR. I personally love layering our body mists with our eau de parfums. I use the eau de parfum as a base on my pulse points and then apply the mist to my hair and clothes for a subtle, fresh layer. My favorite combo right now is PHLUR Beach Skin Hair & Body Mist and Missing Person Eau de Parfum.'
So what exactly makes hair and body mists unique from perfumes? 'The main difference is in the fragrance concentration,' Lim says. 'Body mists are meant to be more subtle and light, and so carry a lower concentration of fragrance oil than eau de parfums. With our PHLUR Body Mists though, we actually formulate with a much higher fragrance load than is typical for body mists—it was important for us that our body mists have a stronger projection and last longer, so customers still get that bold, unexpected PHLUR scent experience.'

PHLUR Peach Skin Hair & Body Fragrance Mist PHLUR
Imagine sipping a fresh, juicy mimosa al fresco while basking in the sun and you have this soft, sweet (but not too sweet), velvety scent. 'We hadn't formulated a fruity gourmand in over a year, and I was craving a scent that captured a summer feeling but with a juicy, fruity twist,' Lim says. 'I love that Peach Skin isn't a straightforward peach—it is fresh, juicy, velvety, like biting into a ripe peach, but it is layered with beautiful florals and a woody, creamy base that elevates the fragrance. I love to take a twist on nostalgic fragrances, and I feel like it's hard to get a peach scent that doesn't feel too juvenile. We worked tirelessly on Peach Skin and am so proud of what we created. It's sophisticated, yet flirty and entirely addictive.' Notes of peach are rounded out with plum, amber, bergamot, jasmine, vanilla orchid, milky sandalwood and coconut caramel. $38,
