Introduction
Beauty rituals are increasingly becoming extremely popular with both men and women giving skin and bodycare equal importance and rightly so. One of the most uplifting elements of body care- are the fragrances and yet are often thought about the least. Especially with so many fragrances available online, it is quite natural to feel confused about what might be the right fit for your body and skin type.
Body Fragrance is broadly categorised into three subcategories- Body Perfume, Body Mist and Body Deodorants. Most of these fragrances are artificially obtained and include alcohol, paraben and other chemical substances that are harsh on the body. With natural ingredients being a safe and skin-friendly option, why not explore the endless possibilities of elevating your body care routine with the best natural body perfumes, body mists and natural deodorants.
How It All Started
The concept of natural fragrances started in ancient Egypt and gained momentum in India during the Indus Valley Civilisation. Natural techniques to craft skin friendly fragrances have been mentioned in Ancient Ayurvedic texts. With time taking its course, these got further popularised with the mughals who called it ’ittar’. No matter what technique or name, sources from nature have proved to be the most potent when it comes to designing soothing and artisanal body fragrances.
Since each of these come under the broad umbrella of body fragrances, you must be wondering what exactly is the difference? Different types of fragrances are infused with a variety of scents that can be extracted and concentrated from natural flowers and herbs. Each of these are distilled with a unique purpose and blended differently to create these fragrant variants.
Body Perfumes: enhance your body care experience and lend a luxurious and pleasant fragrance
Body Mists: lend a hydrating and refreshing touch of fragrance
Natural Deodorants: aim to prevent body odour
Read on as we further discuss how each fragrance variant is different from the other and how each respectively contributes to your daily body care routine.
Natural Body Perfume
Body Perfumes are a luxurious and finishing step to your body care regime. They are the most intensely concentrated, richly scented and the most long-lasting out of all the fragrance variants. While most perfumes are crafted meticulously with the finest ingredients using time-taking processes, natural body perfumes are superior counterparts. These lend therapeutic and hydrating properties that chemically-propelled perfumes do not possess, they are also softer on the skin, get absorbed quicker and are completely free of Alcohol.
Formulated with the time-honoured process of steam distillation to obtain pure essential oils and floral waters, natural perfumes are prepared with a base of Pure Grain Alcohol- a natural form of Alcohol prepared through the Ayurvedic process of fermentation. The Forest Essential Sunehre Din and Chandani Raatein are also made following these coveted, ancient techniques and make for the perfect daytime and after-dark perfumes to add to your collection!
Key Differences for Natural Body Perfumes:
- Aimed to enhance and elevate body fragrance.
- Long-lasting and stronger than body mists.
- Used on pulse points like neck and wrist.
- Can be used on clothes.
Mists
Simply put, body mists are lighter and lower concentrated versions of body perfumes that are essentially formulated for a refreshing experience and are less concentrated than a perfume. Natural body mists use fresh fruits and flowers that are steam distilled for their pure floral waters. Unlike synthetic mists, the natural body mists are fermented in Pure Grain Alcohol along with humectant-rich and hydrating extracts and herbs including Sandalwood, Nargis, Indian Rose, Jasmine and many more that are carefully handpicked to give you the best body mists that are organic and skin friendly.
These are crafted with organic, therapeutic and sensual aromas; just a few sprays on wrists and the nape of your neck will leave you scented and energised throughout the day!
Key Differences for Natural Body Mists:
- Aimed to scent and hydrate your skin.
- Lighter and less concentrated than body perfumes.
- Unlike perfumes, mists can be used on any part of the body.
- More suitable for daily wear and can be layered on with a body perfume.
Natural Deodorants
Deodorants are designed to control and eliminate body odour by lending antiseptic properties that impede the formation of odour-causing bacteria. Unlike perfumes and body mists that are primarily designed to elevate your body care experience and provide added hydration, deodorants are an imperative step for body hygiene.
Most chemically prepared deodorants include ingredients like Aluminium, Alcohol and Parabens that in the long run can damage the pH levels of your skin and also lead to dark underarms and pigmentation. Natural deodorants, on the other hand, are enriched with plant-based extracts that gently scent the skin without disturbing the natural process of perspiration. These Aluminium-free blends keep the underarms fresh and the skin soothed, without any ill effects on it.
Formulated with delicate yet potent Ayurvedic ingredients including moisturising Aloe Vera, and brightening Anantmool and Kasturi Manjal, the natural deodorants by Forest Essentials are skin-friendly alternatives that effectively control body odour. They are formulated in an airlike density and do not leave a white streak after application.
Key Differences for Natural Deodorants:
- Targetted to control and alleviate body odour.
- Lighter and less concentrated than body perfumes & body mists.
- Used on underarms.
- For daily use.
FAQ’s:
What is a body mist used for?
Body Mists are used to refresh, soothe and hydrate the skin with aromatic fresh floral waters. Due to the lighter density and fragrance, they can be used as a part of your daily body care regime or any time through the day for a quick pick-me-up.

What’s the difference between perfume and body mist?

Perfume is a scented liquid that is used to add a pleasant fragrance to the body. It is made up of a mixture of essential oils, alcohol, and water. Deodorant is a liquid or solid product that is used to prevent body odor. It works by killing bacteria or absorbing sweat.
