I have been using these body mists for over 4 months and it felt like the right time to do the review. This review includes how I find the scent and if ingredients contain cancer causing items too. You'd also know the scent that I absolutely love and the one which is least favorite. Jump on!
Soap and Glory Girligo Body Mist (Available at Sephora Store)
I received this mist with Soap and Glory Soaper Hero Pack. Girligo is something that I started using very late and liking very soon. It is milky in texture and moisturizes the skin like a good moisturizer. Certainly not a replacement of a body lotion, but it adds a scented layer of hydration on the skin after you take a shower and damp dry. I use it by spraying all over body and spreading it with light hands (I don't use hands sometimes!). Its fragrance is a mix of bergamot, peach, strawberry, jasmine, mandarin and musk as stated by Soap and Glory. I get a strong scent of Bergamot mixed with peach and jasmine.People have a mixed feeling about this mist. Somebody doesn't understand the purpose of it being a moisturizing mist so somebody is not a fan of bottle and more like this. In my opinion, the idea of making a moisturizing mist is very good, what is not good is that we would not spray enough to keep our skin moisturized and spraying would either take a lot of product so it can hydrate the skin or spraying less like a mist or perfume would not be sufficient for the purpose. I realized that using hands makes the scent last for less time so I stopped using my hands. One thing I really hate is its cap. it keeps falling off and I keep looking for it.
Availability is an issue!

Streax Perfumed Body Mists (Rs.540 for 3) (BUY)
The USP of these body mists are that they are long lasting and affordable. Spray them on your clothes and forget that you can even smell bad.The downside of these mists is the only thing that they contain a carcinogenic ingredient mentioned below and that makes me dizzy. It might stop me from buying it again and ultimately I'd try something new.
III-Refreshing Oriental Blossom - Streax define the scent as notes of jasmine, wild vanilla and spiced lemon zest. I definitely smell vanilla right after applying it as well as after it settles down.
II-Refreshing Peach Love -Streax define the notes as sugary Peach, a glimpse of Mimosa and a base mood of fresh Ylang Ylang. My skin adapts to this scent very quickly and keep smelling fresh like Ylang Ylang whole day with a hint of Peach. When I apply it, Peach overpowers every thing else though. As cliamed it is definitely a fresh and young scent that girls would like!
I-Refreshing Lily Vanilla -Notes are lush lilies, crushed Vanilla and sugar kissed Coconut. Streax claims that scent is fresh and brrezy like tropical air. Oh my God! it smells so good. I am smelling it time and again while writing this review. This one has to be my most favorite scent out of three bcause I relate my scent choices to this onle closely. It is powdery, watery and fresh. Floral but not too much! This is how I would like to smell any given day.
Funny thing is, it is a moment of realization when I can put my finger on one scent among these three.

Victoria's Secret Body Mist in Amber Romance (BUY)
I bought it from Elitify.com and I shared a picture on Instagram right after receiving the package. Too bad that I didn't click pictures of what all Items I received but I'd keep telling you about those products in form of these posts. For now let's talk about this mist.My least favorite scent but I like using it every now and then. Depends on my mood. The % of alcohl should be very high in this mist because it hits my nose like a sharp odor when I spray it and as the time goes, it starts settling down and beomes very subtle. This is when I start loving it. It stays for around 3-4 hours.
It smells sugary sweet to me but VS claims that it has notes of calming chamomile and conditioning aloe vera. I don't know!

From A Buyer's Perspective
I'd recommend - go for Streax body mists first, Soap and Glory second and VS Amber Romance third. I am sure there is one scent for you in Streax that would end-up in your handbag!Also, I have recently started using this website (EWG) to check the hazard% of the ingredients used in a product. When you search for the ingredients, it returns with the results of hazard % of the ingredient as well as how many products are listed under it.This website also lets you make your own directory in which you can save the product details with the ingredients. EWG will show you the hazard% of your product. It will be more helpful for others. www.ewg.org
