‘I’ve found the best £39 coconut body spray it smells like a designer perfume’ (Image: Zoe Cripps)Growing up as a girl in the late nineties and early noughties, I was exposed to an era of dreadful body sprays. The memory of harsh or overly sweet mists dominating classrooms and school discos was enough for me to abandon them as soon as I could afford to switch to nicer perfumes. I never imagined I’d be pleased to see the day when body mists made a comeback, but they have indeed made a comeback this year. I believe Sol de Janeiro and its range of elegant sprays are largely responsible for making body mists the ultimate handbag accessory that everyone craves. I was hesitant to join the trend, but then I caught a whiff of Sol de Janeiro’s new Cheirosa 76 (£24) and I was completely won over. Now, you’ll find me spraying myself with these sophisticated scent sprays all day long. I’ve also discovered the best-smelling body mist that I’ve been reaching for almost daily since finding it about a week ago: NEST New York Balinese Coconut Body Mist. At £39 it’s a steal for a perfume but on the expensive side for a mist. A refreshing tribute to those sun-soaked summer moments, it’s perfect for anyone who loves the feel of a seaside breeze. I don’t usually choose coconut scents because I find the synthetic versions quite nauseating, but this is the most luxurious coconut fragrance I’ve ever smelled.

This heavenly mist will whisk you away to Bali with each spritz, wrapping you in a luscious mix of creamy coconut, delicate tiare blossom, and warm salted musk. Its delightful fusion of gentle florals with earthy tones leaves an enchanting yet subtle mark. Wearing this scent is like sending your senses a postcard from paradise it’s the closest I’ll get to winter sun. Yet, not all body sprays are crafted equally. While I’ve totally jumped on the mist bandwagon, this high-end version marries fine oils to achieve a richness that rivals more expensive perfume offerings. Other sprays may predominantly consist of alcohol and water with a mere hint of fragrance. Mists typically include a portion of water, setting them apart from heavier perfumes these are perfect for on-the-go refreshes tucked away in your handbag. For those seeking something with endurance, there’s also the Balinese Coconut scent available as a perfume oil, starting at £35 for a little travel-friendly 6ml bottle, reports the Mirror. This aromatic oil comes highly recommended by shoppers if my own praise hasn’t quite convinced you. “Love all the Nest scents, the oil lasts so long on the skin and dries down into the most beautiful summer scent,” writes a delighted customer, and another shares: “I blind ordered this on the back of reviews and it’s so nice. Lovely holiday coconut scent without being too sticky/cheap smelling.” A third person penned: “This scent has been recommended by so many people and I was curious to try it. It truly doesn’t disappoint. It smells like dry coconut and reminds me of a coconut candy. Very suitable for summer where the weather would accentuate the scent more.” You can thank me later.Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
