Body spray is a type of perfume product that is similar to aerosol deodorant but is intended to be used on areas of the body other than the armpits. It is lighter in strength than cologne, generally less expensive, and can also double as a deodorant. Body sprays are often made with fragrance extracts such as herbs, oils, and spices, mixed with alcohol and water. They typically have a lower concentration of scent or fragrance than cologne or perfume.
Some common ingredients found in body spray include butane, isobutane, propane, alcohol, and parfum. Major brands of body spray include Unilevers "Axe" and "Impulse," Gillette's "Tag," Dial's "RGX," and Procter & Gamble's "Old Spice".
Body sprays are different from body mists, which are a lighter, softer version of a fragrance often with feminine and fruity notes. Body mists contain light, fresh scents, essential oils, and an alcohol base to create a subtle scent that lingers on the body throughout the day.
