The Buzz in the Fragrance Space: Hair Perfume
I’d argue that aside from reformulated classics, reinterpretations of singular ingredients, and a recent push in clean compositions, you don’t see much buzz in the fragrance space. That is, until you consider the world of hair perfume.

Story Behind Gisou and Crown Affair Hair Perfumes
For a long time, I couldn’t stop hearing about Gisou’s Honey Infused Hair Perfume after its 2021 launch—perhaps because I’ve long followed brand founder Negin Mirsalehi, whose family’s bee gardens inspired the sweet floral scent. Described as “playful, fresh, and feminine,” the O.G. hair perfume was so popular that Gisou debuted a second iteration this year—a Floral Edition, centered around a wild rose aroma.
Dianna Cohen of Crown Affair has also made a mark with her popular hair perfume. The scent—a smooth balance of citrus and sandalwood, embodies the effortless, cool-girl vibe her brand is known for.
How Hair Perfume Differs from Traditional Fragrance
“Hair mist or hair perfume is definitely a lighter, more subtle version of fragrance created specifically to be sprayed on the hair,” Linda Levy, president of The Fragrance Foundation explains. These tend to be gentler, provide extra conditioning, nourishing, and strengthening benefits. Hair perfume is a less expensive investment and a great entry into fragrance for new or younger customers. It also plays a key role in fragrance layering—a technique of combining scents to create a unique signature scent.
Why Choose Hair Perfume
“Scent lives differently and for longer in hair than it does on the skin, so we’re seeing more customers reach for hair perfumes in 2024,” Cohen notes. Hair perfume offers a long-lasting effect and adds an extra layer of self-expression and personalization to your overall scent.
