Anti-odour hair mist: which one to choose?

A day in the city, a dinner, an evening out: hair easily picks up the scents around it. An alcohol-free mist refreshes and scents it without drying it out, whereas a classic perfume would dry it. If your hair is exposed every day, choose a hydrating formula you can reapply freely. Find our 5 habits in our article on anti-odour hair mist.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best perfume for hair?
The best hair perfume is an alcohol-free mist: it scents without drying out the fibre. Check the ingredient list (no "alcohol denat." at the top) and choose a formula enriched with hydrating ingredients.

Does an alcohol-free mist last as long?
It usually lasts less long than an eau de parfum, but you can reapply it as often as you like, with no risk for your hair.

Can I spray it on wet hair?
Yes, on dry or damp hair. On damp hair it helps keep hydration in; on dry hair the scent is more noticeable.

Does a mist replace shampoo?
No: it refreshes and scents, but it doesn't clean. It simply helps you space out your washes a little.
