Long lasting body sprays.

I'm in search of a brand for body sprays and fragrances that last longer than an hour. I have my one perfume that my husband gets me every year that is expensive, but I'd like something for everyday that doesn't break the bank.

I love "Light Blue" by D & C. (Just so you know).

TIA ~

Try something with an oil--rather than alcohol--base. Alcohol evaporates almost immediately, but oil will linger on the skin, holding the scent with it. I find I smell like cherry blossom all day long after using Bath & Bodyworks bath oil.

That said, our psychology professor told us that the brain becomes accustomed to scents after a few minutes, and no longer registers them as strongly. He used perfume as a specific example; once you've applied it, after a while you no longer smell it as strongly, and are tempted to reapply--but the scent is still there; you just don't notice any more. Perhaps ask a family member or coworker if the scent is still noticeable to them?

Tina--I'm a huge fan of the Body Fantasies Signature body sprays. You can find them everywhere--Walmart, Walgreens, KMart, Rite Aid, etc. They come in a huge variety of scents, are priced reasonably at around $6.00 for 8 ounces, and some of them last a really long time. I've gotten just as many compliments when I wear them as I do when I wear the $60-$100 a bottle perfumes. I think they originally started as an "everywoman's" version of the more expensive Bath & Body Works scents.

Victoria's Secret has some nice body sprays that last awhile
They're a little pricier, but I alternate between 3 different scents (I have the mini bottles) and I've had them for almost a year.

I forgot to mention that Beautiful Day body spray by Bath and Body Works lasts awhile and I've gotten plenty of compliments on the smell.

I will have to check these out. I was a fan of the Calgon body sprays, which are also on this same website. They don't have as many scents though as BF.

I like BBW (Bath and Body Works), I usually only buy during their semi annual sale, where you can get some scents for around $4.00 a bottle, though sometimes it varies from $4.00-7.00. The sales occur in late June and around end of December/first part of January.

Then there is Ulta, they have their own bath line which includes sprays I believe. I am going to check those out too.

Try spraying in a different place. I use one spray. I spray it on my underwear. It stays with me all day.
