Ladies Body Sprays: MY Wife Asked Me to Find Her A Good One. Help Please?

**CyberJCM** · 07-26-2012, 07:09 PM

My wife has asked me to find her a nice body spray in a citrus and vanilla or citrus/vanilla scent. I assume by her asking me, as I am the (however nutty) goto guy for fine artisan, hand made type products, that she wants something nice like that and not cheap store shelf stuff.

Can anyone, especially the ladies, recommend something like that for me to get her?

Thanks all!

My wife uses Body Shop products for fragrances. The one she has now is a really nice but it is a EdT.
Vanilla is the scent. Very light. She has a Neroli Jasmine one too that is nice.
They are available in a body spray

Body shop stuff isn't cheap. Put it in a different bottle with a french name and you'd be paying 10 times as much for it.

Thanks maxman! I'll check into the Body Shop, even though we dont have one nearby surprisingly!

Anyone else have suggestions? I've looked at a couple places I thought would have stuff like this, but no luck. I was thinking along the lines of an SCS kinda vendor as an example.

Bath and body works has some great stuff and better than most supermarket / Walmart junk IMHO.

http://www.nakedbeautybathandbody.com/ looks like interesting artisan stuff.

Bath & Body Works actually has some pretty nice smelling stuff for women.

I am just a fragrance newbie myself, but I am not sure the terms "body spray" and "good one" go together. If women's lines are anything like men's lines, body sprays are considered to be bottom of the bucket stuff. Perhaps you want to be perusing a good quality perfume for your lady instead?

On the other hand, I do quite like the Bath and Body Works Men's line, so perhaps their woman's line is worth checking out as well.

Haha.....good point, but womens body sprays are not the same as mens ones. You would be surprised how nice some $20, ladies body "mists" as they are often called smell. However, as you mentioned, ones for men should be reserved for chemical warfare. Why no company can make a decent one for us guys is a mystery to me.

Exactly! Thanks michiganlover, but I'm not talking Axe here

Just like Matt555 said, the ladies ones are more of a mist, and not heavy on scent or alcohol like a perfume.

Or a tear gas canister with fatal effects..................

But anyway, check the Bath and Body Works. The only problem is, they have so many I don't even know where you would start. I mean, they probably have at least a hundred different ones. They have sales all the time as well. Maybe go in and just ask one of the workers for citrus and vanilla ones and I am sure they will know exactly where those ones are. Sometimes you cannot tell as the names do not imply what the scent will be.

Also, I think one of the reason it is more of a "mist" with a higher water base is because a lot of ladies spray it all over their hair. I don't think you could do such with an EDT as it would thrash it.
