The 13 Best Body Sprays for Men (Or Anyone) to Smell Fresh and Fragrant

Best Overall

Jack Black Turbo Body Spray

$36 at Amazon $36 at Nordstrom View on Smallflower.com

Scent: Spearmint, eucalyptus, and juniper berries | Size: 3.4 oz. | Cruelty-Free: Yes

Jack Black’s Turbo Spray is formulated as precisely as a fragrance, with notes of spearmint, eucalyptus, black tea, rosemary, lavender, wood, and palo santo. However, it bears the price of a body spray and pretends to be nothing but—it works terrifically as a boost before a big meeting or a date without pronouncing itself to the people five tables over. It smells terrific and refreshing.

Best Budget

Axe Body Spray Dark Temptation

$6 at Walmart $8 at Walgreens $8 at Riteaid.com

Scent: Dark chocolate | Size: 4 oz. | Cruelty-Free: No

Dark Temptation is a little bit spicy and a lot sweet, blending notes of hot chocolate, amber, and peppercorn. The brand boasts that it lasts 48 hours, so you get a long-lasting scent without the hefty price tag. It’s the finest fragrance of Axe’s all-day-fresh body sprays and one of the furthest from “this smells like a seventh-grader would wear it." It's also super affordable, making it an easy pick-up when you’re next at the drugstore. Another plus: The can is made from recycled metal, which we love.

Best Splurge

Tom Ford Oud Wood Body Spray

$201 at Bloomingdales $77 at Macy's $90 at Neiman Marcus

Scent: Rare oud wood, sandalwood, Chinese pepper, rosewood, tonka bean, and vanilla | Size: 5 oz. | Cruelty-free: No

Of all our beloved Tom Ford fragrances that have been transitioned into body spray scents, we favor Oud Wood best for its woody, spicy, earthy notes, which deliver come-hither energy directly to your skin. Plus, despite being over $50 for 5 ounces, it’s a fraction of the price tag worn by Tom Ford’s 3.4-ounce eau de parfum cologne of the same name. Sure, it won’t project as long or as far, but you’ll still smell incredible for a couple of hours.

Best Soothing

Bálla Body Spray

$22 at Amazon View on Groominglounge.com

Scent: Oak and Musk | Size: 6 oz. | Cruelty-Free: Yes

This aloe- and chamomile-packed spray is cooling and calming to the touch and is technically meant for your smellier areas (since the Bálla’s signature powder also hits the same spots to absorb moisture and cool on contact). But this isn’t a powder spray; it’s a traditional body spray with those added refreshing benefits to keep everything smelling ripe and fresh, just in case you need to make a good impression in those departments.

Most Balanced Scent

ck one Body Spray

$14 at Walgreens $34 at Samsclub.com $16 at CVS

Scent: Green tea signature | Size: 5.4 oz. | Cruelty-free: No

Ck One is one of the most balanced fragrances you can buy, making it perfect for anyone, and the brand’s take on the body spray is equally harmonious. The scent blends spicy, floral, sweet, citrus, and musk notes for a positively uplifting result that's terrific for any pick-me-ups throughout the day. We say buy the actual fragrance for special occasions and wear this one around the house or on errands.

Best Toner

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe Herbs & Rosewater

$8 at Amazon $6 at Sephora $14 at Ulta

Scent: Aloe, rosewater, and herbs | Size: 4 or 8 oz. | Cruelty-free: Yes

While this product is technically a facial mist, you can spray it all over your body for a toning, refreshing, soothing sensation. It combines refreshing rose water with soothing aloe gel and versatile seaweed extract—though it smells nothing like seaweed, we promise. Wherever you spray it, a wave of calmness and relaxation follows. But it’s also like a shot of caffeine for your skin (it clarifies and illuminates dehydrated-looking skin) and plays incredibly well on overly sunned (not yet sunburned) patches.

Best Long-Lasting

Montblanc Legend Body Spray

$25 at Sephora

Scent: Italian bergamot, French lavandin, pineapple leaves, white cedar, rose, fresh jasmine, pomarose, evernyl, sandalwood, and tonka beans | Size: 6.6 oz. | Cruelty-Free: No

Sometimes a quick spritz is all you need for a long-lasting scent—and this Montblanc option is the perfect example. Several users noted that the fragrance, which has notes of bergamot, lavandin, and pineapple leaves, lasted all day. Even better: Montblanc boasts that the aroma is confident, seductive, and charismatic—all characteristics we love to lean into.

Best Antiperspirant

Dove Men+Care Dry Spray Extra Fresh

$8 at Amazon $8 at Target $8 at Walmart

Scent: Extra fresh | Size: 3.8 oz. | Cruelty-free: Yes

Foremost an underarm antiperspirant, you can spray this super fresh deodorant on any part of your body that sweats if you want to mitigate the moisture. Don’t get too crazy with daily all-over applications (after all, it’s derived for your pits), and definitely don’t spray it on your face, but deploy it in those instances where you don’t want to arrive someplace with a sweat-drenched back. FYI: It's formulated with hydrating cream, too, which means it's not too drying.

Best Powder

Dry Goods Athletic Spray Powder

$18 at Amazon View on Groominglounge.com

Scent: Original | Size: 5.4 oz. | Cruelty-Free: N/A

This powder spray has one clear task: to prevent moisture from accumulating in your underwear and socks. Spray it on after a shower (but dry yourself off fully first), particularly on the days you plan to sweat a bunch (be it before sports, on a hot sunny day, or just from sitting at work for eight hours). Once it lands on the skin, it dries into a nice powder residue, one that also helps prevent friction and can be applied to the thighs to stop rubbing and chafing. We love that the point-and-shoot bottle design makes application easy and accurate, too.

Best Vegan

Henry Rose Boys of Summer Body Spray

$75 at Sephora

Scent: Pink pepper, organic lavandin abs enfleurage, and orris concrete | Size: 6.7 oz. | Cruelty-free: Yes

This body spray checks almost every box: it’s vegan, cruelty-free, packaged with recyclable materials, and comes in a chic, minimalist bottle. The best part is the scent's earthy and woody base with notes of pink pepper and organic lavandin abs enfleurage, which is more floral—the balance is quite delightful.

Best Aluminum-Free

Aesop Déodorant Spray

$35 at Nordstrom View on Aesop.com

Scent: Vetiver root, zinc ricinoleate, coriander seed | Size: 1.7 oz. | Cruelty-free: Yes

Are you on a mission to limit the amount of products in your regimen that contain aluminum? Add this Aesop body spray to your list. It passes on aluminum while still reducing and masking underarm odor in a convenient, lightweight spray. And, of course, we love the woody, herb-infused, and earthy scent—or else you wouldn't find it on this list!

Best for Travel

Chanel Allure Homme Sport

View on Chanel.com

Scent: Italian mandarin, tona beans, white musk, and cedar  | Size: 3.4 oz. | Cruelty-free: No

This Chanel body spray, at 3.4 ounces, is the perfect size for your carry-on. Plus, it’s as refreshing and long-lasting as the actual cologne. Buying the less-expensive, long-lasting body spray is a great way to test how the scent (notes of mandarin, tonka beans, musk, and cedar) interacts with your body chemistry before splurging on the fragrance, too.

Best With Prebiotics

OffCourt Natural Body Spray

$43 at Amazon View on Offcourt.com

Scent: Coconut water and sandalwood, fresh citron and driftwood, and fig leaves and white musk | Size: 3.4 oz. | Cruelty-free: Yes

Prebiotics can help eliminate body odor over time, so it’s a no-brainer to include them in body spray. OffCourt’s spritz does that while also remaining aluminum-free. You can spray the scent all over your body (or just on your underarms) without fearing a white, sticky residue being left behind. The best part: The formula comes in three scents, including fig leaves and white musk, fresh citron and driftwood, and coconut water and sandalwood.
