When it comes to perfumes, body mists, and body sprays, you honestly have to be lucky enough to hit the jackpot to find the ones that actually have staying power. You’d think perfumes, sitting proudly at the top of the fragrance pyramid, would automatically last the longest, but that’s not always the case. And while body mists often get a bad rap for lasting no longer than a quick ten minutes, there are hidden gems that hold their own all day and even into the next.
Bath & Body Works is the American fragrance giant that’s pretty much leading the pack when it comes to signature fragrance mists, scented lotions, 3-wick candles, home fragrances and everything in between. Since their launch in 1990, they’ve mastered the art of seasonal releases (with some scents like “Under the Christmas Tree” and “Cookie Butter”), generating endless hype year after year.
Now, if you’ve been on the hunt for a long-lasting body mist that won’t break the bank, you’re in luck. Let’s get straight into the best Bath & Body Works body mists under ₦25,000 that smell absolutely divine and will last all day.
1. Into The Night

)
This one could easily pass for a high-end perfume because it’s that good. It has notes of warm amber, rich woods, and a sensual floral swirl. Although you might not pick up much of the advertised mocha, it doesn’t even matter. Into The Night is sexy, sultry and so intoxicating that grammar rules go right out of the window for me whenever you wear it.

On clothes, it clings for literal days. It’s a femme fatale’s dream for layering with bolder perfumes like Lattafa’s Nebras or Lancôme’s La Vie Est Belle. With over 55,000 Amazon reviews, you just know you’re getting a beautiful fragrance that is loved and approved by many. Price: $13.25. Where To Buy: Shop Amazon.

2. You’re The One

For the strongest Bath & Body Works mist, look no further. “You’re The One” is sweet, syrupy and addictive, thanks to the strawberry syrup note paired with soft rose and woods. It’s strong enough to rival some designer perfumes—and honestly, it performs better than a few I’ve tried. It could be a little cloying or nauseating on hot days, but in general, it’s a perfect cosy fragrance for any season. Price: $14. Where To Buy: Shop Amazon.
Notes: Rose, strawberry syrup, woodsy notes.
3. Fresh Coconut and Cotton
