Whether or not you’re a fan of mass market fragrances, everyone has at least one Bath & Body Works scent that they find irresistible. With the introduction of their layerable fine mists, you can enjoy their personal fragrance options even more.
My personal favorite is Sweet Pea but in this article I’m going to share eight additional Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist selections that you might come to love.
My 9 Best Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist Scents
Bath & Body Works (BBW) offers superb fragrance options in every scent category: floral, fresh, fruity, sweet, and woodsy. Each fragrance mist bottle is 8 fl oz (236 mL). Here are some of their best mists for you to consider trying.
1. Most Mysterious Fragrance Mist: Into the Night
- FRAGRANCE: A timeless, feminine, alluring blend of dark berries, midnight jasmine & rich amber
- Evoke natural confidence & brilliant beauty from the beginning of your day Into the Night; Whether you lavishly splash or lightly spritz, you'll fall in love at first mist
- Our carefully crafted bottle & sophisticated pump delivers great coverage while conditioning aloe mist nourishes skin for the lightest, most refreshing way to fragrance!
- Evoke natural confidence & brilliant beauty from the beginning of your day Into the Night; Whether you lavishly splash or lightly spritz, you'll fall in love at first mist
This has been one of Bath & Body Works’ top fragrances for decades. It’s a classic fragrance that never fails to please.
Floral, sweet, and spicy, Into the Night is a mysterious fragrance blend that can surely accompany you during a night out on the town.
It’s a strong scent with notes like patchouli and musk lingering into the wee hours of the night.
Fragrance notes: raspberry noir, amber crystals, velvety rose petals, creamy patchouli, and mocha musk.
Its previous formula incorporated jasmine floral notes, but it seems that jasmine has been replaced with rose. This reformulation of Into the Night seems to now be most fitting for women in more mature age brackets.
Due to its deeper notes like raspberry noir, amber, and mocha musk, it would be best to wear this scent during the cooler months of fall and winter. Because it’s a stronger scent, you might want to avoid wearing it during warmer months because its projection could be overwhelming.
This alluring yet powerful scent can offer a boost of confidence as you dance into the night. Expect it to cling to you for at least 3 hours.
Pros:
- Timeless fragrance
- Strong scent that lasts for hours
- Feminine fragrance that helps a woman feel beautiful
- Great for cold months
Cons:
- Some find the scent overbearing
- The new scent formula is a turn-off for some people
2. Most Festive Fragrance Mist: A Thousand Wishes
- Bath and Body Works
- A Thousand Wishes
- Fine Fragrance Mist
- 8 Ounce
Another BBW fragrance with staying power, A Thousand Wishes is a customer favorite.
It’s a softer, sweeter scent in comparison to Into the Night, but it will still last for at least three hours when worn.
If you could bottle up New Year’s celebration scents, it would smell like A Thousand Wishes.
Fragrance notes include: pink prosecco, sparkling quince, crystal peonies, gilded amber, and amaretto crème.
This is definitely a seasonal fragrance to be worn during cold months. Most appropriately, it’s a Christmas/New Year’s festivities fragrance. It’s unlikely that you’d want to wear A Thousand Wishes during any other time of the year.
Such limited use could be a turn off for some who might want to get more value out of the fragrance. But if you love it enough to wear daily in fall and winter, then it’s up to you!
In this reformulation, the floral notes are more dominant but it’s still an airy fragrance.
Pros:
- Great for a night out on the town
- Sweet, sophisticated fragrance
- Perfect winter holiday season fragrance
- Comforting scent
Cons:
- Can be a sickly sweet scent for some people
- Not for daily use
3. Most Romantic Fragrance Mist: Japanese Cherry Blossom
Cherry blossom is an undeniably addictive floral fragrance. And this scent has been part of the BBW collection for decades as well.
BBW’s Japanese Cherry Blossom scent is a delicate feminine fragrance that incorporates fruity and floral notes with a hint of woodiness.
Fragrance notes include: Japanese cherry blossom, Asian pear, fresh mimosa petals, white jasmine, and sandalwood.
I think that the sandalwood increases the longevity of this fragrance. The mimosa petals add a powdery, somewhat earthy fragrance to the blend. Jasmine blooms are at once fruity, musklike, sweet, and mysterious, which I think balances out the sweetness of Asian pear.
And of course cherry blossoms smell like many flowers in one. You might smell hints of magnolia blooms, roses, and lilac mixed with warm vanilla and subtle nuttiness.
I view Japanese Cherry Blossoms as an everyday scent that can be worn year-round. But its fruity, floral notes might cause it to best fit during warmer months of spring and summer.
Overall, I consider Japanese Cherry Blossom to be a romantic floral fragrance that’s appropriate for a wide range of age groups.
Pros:
- Classic feminine fragrance
- Light floral fruity scent
- Lasts a long time on your skin
- Can be worn all year
Cons:
- Some dislike the reformulation
- Might smell too sweet for some
4. Best Sweet and Clean Fragrance Mist: Sweet Pea
- Brand New
- Pure Aroma
Sweet pea flowers are so luxurious and delicate and this fragrance mist is an appropriate representation of these beautiful blooms.
It’s a blissful fragrance that best fits spring and summer months. It can be worn in the evening, but Sweet Pea Fine Fragrance Mist shines best during the day. This is further supported by the fact that it doesn’t last as long on the skin as Into the Night or A Thousand Wishes due to its lighter fragrance notes.
Those notes include: sweet pea, watery pear, freesia, raspberry, and soft musk.
Sweet peas have a velvety fragrance similar to orange blossom with the added sweetness of honey. Pear adds sweet but clean and subtle fresh green notes. Freesias smell surprisingly fruity, which supports the raspberry notes. Soft musk adds warmth with hints of power, vanilla, and spices.
Pros:
- Light and delicate fragrance
- Perfect for warmer months
- Best for daytime wear
- Smells like a luxurious perfume
Cons:
- Not as long lasting
- Low sillage
5. Best Floral Fragrance Mist: One In a Million
- Delicate. Feminine. Romantic. One in a Million is a modern twist on a timeless white floral. With notes of jasmine extract, tuberose oil, white gardenia, pink pepper & cashmere musk.
- Created by our master perfumers to make you truly feel like one in a million.
- Lavishly splash or lightly spritz, either way you'll fall in love at first mist.
- Our carefully crafted bottle and sophisticated pump delivers great coverage while conditioning aloe mist nourishes skin for the lightest, most refreshing way to fragrance.
Although it hasn’t been around as long as the previous fragrances, One In a Million is winning over customers. It’s actually a scent that’s exclusively available for online purchase.
One In a Million is a romantic white floral fragrance. Most of the aromatic compounds used to make white floral scents are mostly white blooms. Historically, they have a heady fragrance profile.
In this case, you’ll experience white jasmine, tuberose, and gardenia. Tuberose smells similar to jasmine with additional nuances. Tuberose is slightly fruitier than jasmine with nutty sweet notes added in. At the same time, it’s smoother and lighter than jasmine.
Gardenias have a distinct fragrance. They’re a lot more pronounced – they’re creamy, yet zesty; spicy, yet sweet.
In addition to these white florals, pink pepper and cashmere musk notes have been added to One In a Million. Pink pepper amplifies the gardenia and tuberose notes while cashmere musk adds warmth and sophistication to the blend.
You can expect low to moderate longevity. It will project more during spring and summer.
I think that this blend can work well in any season or time of day. It’s delicate enough for warmer months and early days, yet robust enough for evenings and colder months.
Pros:
- Can be worn year round
- Pretty good longevity
- Robust floral fragrance
- Luxurious fragrance
Cons:
- Heavily floral scent that some may dislike
- Scent may not last that long in colder months
6. Most Decadent Fragrance Mist: Champagne Toast
No products found.
For another festive fragrance, Champagne Toast doesn’t disappoint. Its fragrance notes include bubbly champagne, fresh berries and tangerine.
If you’re imagining a glass of champagne with bubbles rising from whole berries at the bottle of the glass, then I think you have a clear picture of how this fragrance mist smells.
It’s a decadent fragrance that can help you celebrate every winter holiday. But the fruity notes can also carry you into spring and summer. Overall it’s a fairly neutral fragrance – seasons-wise, so you can wear this scent all year if you prefer. You might find that it projects better during spring and summer, and it’ll likely last longest during those warmer months as well.
In the winter, you might need to apply more of the fragrance because these fragrance notes simply don’t carry as well when it’s cooler out.
Pros:
- Light and airy
- Sophisticated and luxurious scent combination
- Can be worn all year
- Mild scent that isn’t overwhelming
Cons:
- Fragrance doesn’t last long on the skin
- Not for those who prefer complex fragrances

7. Best Daily Fragrance Mist: Almond Blossom
No products found.
Sometimes a milder scent devoid of intense floral and wood notes is all a girl wants. Enter Almond Blossom Fine Fragrance Mist.
It’s a blend of vanilla orchid, sweet almond oil, and cashmere musk.
Vanilla orchid smells less intense than jasmine blossoms. The creaminess and freshness is present, but vanilla orchid blooms are sweeter, but not overwhelmingly so. Cashmere musk adds powdery earthiness to the sweet orchid.
This is also a great fragrance for layering. It can tone down stronger fragrances and sweeten up floral scents, like One In a Million.
In terms of seasons, Almond Blossom is a softer scent that would best project in spring or summer but can also work in fall or winter as a light mist. During winter months, you can spray it on the skin after using the body wash to add projection and longevity to your application.
Pros:
- Simple, subtle fragrance blend
- Not overwhelming or too complex
- Soft scent for most ages
- Would make a nice light signature scent
Cons:
- May not last as long when it’s cold
- Scent is too light for some customers

8. Best Mist for Special Occasions: You’re the One
No products found.
In terms of intensity, You’re the One kicks it up just a little more – maybe just one notch. It’s a seductive scent that you might only wear for special occasions with your special one.
White birch, rose, and strawberry nectar make up the fragrance notes. It’s a simple and subtly impactful scent combination.
Rose is one of the dominant layers but doesn’t come across too strong. If you prefer not to wear fruity scents, then you might still like You’re the One because the strawberry notes are faint. White birch, though, is more pronounced. A leathery, smoky wood, white birch offers those accords along with fresh, mossy notes. So this is more of a woodsy rose fragrance with hints of sweet fruit.
This pleasant fragrance can be worn at any time, really, but most people reserve it for special occasions, personal milestones, or quiet time with a partner.
Pros:
- Lasts a long time on the skin
- Pleasant scent that isn’t overwhelming
- Romantic fragrance for date nights
- Birch wood carries the notes longer
Cons:
- Smells too stuffy for some women
- Not for those who dislike rose scents

9. Best Seasonal Fragrance Mist: Snowflakes & Cashmere
No products found.
A sprite, wintery fragrance, Snowflakes & Cashmere is also warm and sweet.
Fragrance notes include: vanilla cashmere creme, caramel woods, and frosted clementine.
Creamy dreamsicles come to mind when I think of the combination of clementines and vanilla creme.
It always baffles me how you actually get the sense that you’re smelling cashmere. One wouldn’t think it possible that cashmere carries a fragrance because it’s so tactile and associated with warmth. But these notes are truly reminiscent of the scent you smell while wearing a cashmere sweater – somewhat pungent, slightly earthy, with soft musk notes.
Add to that the rich, buttery sweetness of caramel grounded by smoky wood. Clementine adds a tinge of fresh fruitiness and subtle floral notes.
It’s a seasonal scent that’s definitely reserved for autumn and winter. Wood and vanilla notes help it to last longer on your skin.
Pros:
- Lovely fragrance combination
- Lasts pretty long
- Perfect for fall and winter seasons
- Nice balance of fragrance categories
Cons:
- Might smell too sweet for some people
- Less value due to limited seasonal use

What Are the Advantages of BBW’s Fine Fragrance Mists?
One of the biggest complaints about these fine mist fragrances is that few of them last very long on the skin.
But that’s the nature of the product, and it has its advantages. Fragrance mists are similar to body sprays. They’re not formulated with a high concentration of aromatic compounds. This means that they aren’t created to be as intense as an eau de parfum.
Thus, these fine mists don’t have the longevity that you’d find in a Carolina Herrerra fragrance, for example. But they will last for two to three hours. Scents that incorporate wood and spice notes typically last the longest.
If they only last for a short amount of time, you might be wondering, what’s the point in using them? Well there are a number of advantages that I’ll outline below.
Light Mist
Fragrance mists are so fine that you can hardly feel them on your skin.
This is ideal for individuals who prefer not to wear heavily scented fragrances the day. If you lean more towards subtle fragrances, then you might prefer these mists.
Layerable
An extension of the last point is that because these mists are so light, they’re also layerable. You can spray them on top of body lotions or creams. And you can layer more than one fragrance mist to create your own unique scent.
Actually, layering these mists on top of other body care items within its fragrance line adds longevity to the fragrance.
So if you’d prefer a scent that lasts an entire workday, then use body wash and lotion or cream of the same fragrance, and then spray on the fragrance mist.
You can even carry the mist with you to spruce up the fragrance throughout the day, if needed.
Lower Cost
Although they’re less concentrated, these mists are also more affordable than a really nice eau de parfum that would last on your skin all day.
Because they’re less costly, you can try out multiple scents without paying as much as you would to try out multiple perfume fragrances.
Lots of Variety
All of the staple Bath & Body Works fragrances are available as fine mists. Not to mention seasonal scents and online exclusives. You have many more fragrance choices, which is perfect for those who enjoy changing their fragrance as often as they change their wardrobe.
Flexibility
And all of these reasons combined give you more flexibility. You can wear a scent for a few hours during the day, and then shower before applying a new fragrance that will carry you into the evening.
This may sound superficial, but removing perfumes from your skin requires more of a process. Because these scents aren’t as concentrated, they won’t sink into your skin pores as an eau de parfum or even an eau de toilette would. You can more readily shower and switch scents without concern for fragrance clashing.
Conclusion
Which of these fine mist fragrances smell the best? I have to say that I’m most drawn to Sweet Pea Fine Fragrance Mist due to its floral and musk notes but Champagne Toast Fine Fragrance Mist is a wonderful subtle yet versatile fragrance to have on hand.
Either way, Bath & Body Works fragrance mists are a nice way to spray on subtle fragrance, enhance an existing scent, or open the door to a lot of different fragrance options. Now is a good time to try them for yourself.
