Tropical Summer Scent
Finding the perfect fragrance for the warmer months can be such a challenge especially when you want something that feels fresh without being too heavy for everyday use. I have spent so much time looking for a scent that actually lasts on my hair and skin while making me feel like I am on a permanent vacation. After seeing so many people talk about this specific mist I finally decided to give it a try and see if it lived up to the expectations I had for a high end body spray. It is always a little nerve wracking trying a new scent online but this one turned out to be exactly what I was looking for to round out my beauty routine.
My Honest Thoughts
I recently started using the Ibiza Hair and Body Mist from Ouai and I am honestly so obsessed with how it smells. It makes me feel like I am sitting on a beach with a fruity drink in my hand even when I am just sitting at my desk working. The scent is really light and fresh since it has those citrus and dragon fruit notes but it also feels a little sophisticated because of the sandalwood and white flowers like jasmine and tuberose. I love spraying it in my hair because every time I move I get a little whiff of it and it stays there much longer than it does on my skin. It is not heavy at all so I can use it throughout the day without feeling like I am wearing too much perfume or bothering people around me. The way the scent develops over an hour or two is really nice because it turns into a soft and warm floral that feels very natural and clean on the skin without being too flowery. It really does capture that essence of a sunny afternoon by the water and I find myself reaching for it every single morning before I head out the door.
One thing I really appreciate is how the mist is super fine so it does not make my hair feel greasy or weighed down which is usually a big concern for me with hair products. It is the perfect size to throw in my bag for a quick refresh before dinner or after a workout and the bottle looks so pretty on my vanity with its simple and clean design. If I had to change one thing I would probably make the scent last a bit longer on my skin because it does seem to fade after a few hours and I find myself reapplying it quite often throughout the afternoon. I also think it would be cool if they offered a larger bottle for home and a tiny one for travel since I go through this one pretty quickly because I use it so much. Other than that the packaging is beautiful and it really does deliver on that summer feeling that I was looking for. It has become a staple in my routine and I always get compliments whenever I wear it out which makes me feel even better about the purchase.
The Final Verdict
Overall this mist is a wonderful addition to any collection if you are a fan of tropical and bright scents that do not feel too young or sugary. It has a great balance of fruit and floral notes that makes it feel very grown up and polished. Even though I wish the staying power on my skin was a little bit stronger the way it clings to my hair makes up for it completely. If you want to feel like you are on a getaway every time you get ready in the morning I would definitely recommend picking this up. It is a simple and effective way to feel refreshed and smell amazing all day long without much effort at all.
