Here's The Best Hair Perfumes For 2025
One scroll through #PerfumeTok confirms it- hair perfume is having its moment in the spotlight. Once seen as a niche luxury at best - or a frivolous extra at worst- owning a hair fragrance today marks a new kind of status symbol. For the beauty set, there's nothing more chic than a delicate misting through strands and across the shoulders. I should know. I've seen enough beauty editor's pull one from their handbag and give their hair a discreet top-up. Whether worn solo or layered with your signature perfume, it's quickly become my own finishing touch when I want to feel truly polished and put-together. The best part? It doesn't need to cost a fortune. Take Daisy Edgar-Jones's love of Zara's Dusk Hair Fragrance (created with legendary hairstylist Guido Palau) as proof that high-impact hair perfume can still be accessible. But aren't hair perfumes just regular fragrances repackaged, I hear you cry? 'Not exactly.' Nadine Ibrahim Bacha, Byredo's Global Fragrance Trainer tells Grazia . 'Hair fragrances are typically lightweight and non-greasy, so they don't weigh hair down or leave it feeling sticky,' she explains. The formula, too, is different. 'They often contain lower levels of alcohol, or are entirely alcohol-free,' Bacha says. 'They may also be enriched with nourishing ingredients like oils, vitamins, or UV filters that protect the hair from environmental stressors.' Essentially? They smell good and do good. And Amanda Morgan, MD of Diptyque UK is inclined to agree. 'It's not recommended to spray perfume directly onto your hair as it can be drying,' she says. 'Hair mists are specially formulated for that purpose. They're far gentler on strands while still delivering beautiful fragrance.' Our hair is more porous than skin, meaning it holds onto scent for longer- this is why you'll often be able to catch a heady whiff of your shampoo when you take your hair down in the evening. By contrast, the scent on your skin may have faded considerably. 'Hair is always in movement,' adds Bacha. 'This makes it the perfect vector for perfume, as it amplifies the delicately scented trail you leave behind.' It's that delicately scented trail that's proving increasingly popular among shoppers, too. 'Scented hair mists have been growing in popularity in recent years,' Morgan notes. 'It's an innovative way to wear fragrance, especially if you prefer not to apply scent directly to your skin.' From cult classics to fresh icons, here are the very best hair perfumes for 2025 as recommended by the Grazia beauty team. 1. Byredo Bal d'Afrique Hair Perfume What Byredo says: 'Byredo Hair Perfume captures Byredo's signature fragrances into a long-lasting mist of scent for the hair, leaving it luminous, refreshed, and subtly perfumed throughout the day. The non-greasy formula is so lightweight it can spritz onto pre-styled hair as the ultimate finishing touch.' What we know: The handy aerosol format here make things feel effortless. Simply spritz and go to coat stands with an even layer of this light yet nourishing mist. Rachael Martin, beauty director, says: 'Delicate, graceful and utterly addictive, Bal'd Afrique is what I reach for when I want to feel pepped up and energised. Inspired by African culture in 1920s Paris, the blend of marigold, bergamot, lemon and neroli is beautifully bright and vibrant. It's these summer-laden notes that I'll come back to time and time again. And as for its hair beautifying credentials? Strands are left soft and luminous after a quick misting. Would recommend.' Pros Cons 2. Diptyque Ilio Hair Mist What Diptyque say: 'Ilio, meaning "sun" in Greek, is a tribute to the Mediterranean in summer. The collection evokes a relaxing, sun-drenched break. As far as the eye can see, colourful beach umbrellas, fresh green prickly pears and the glittering sea... An invitation to savour the pleasures of summer, all year round.' What we know: Inspired by the shores of the Mediterranean, the scent of prickly pears blends with bergamot and jasmine in the sweetness of summer. If you're partial to something light and delicate then consider this an excellent option. Rachael Martin, beauty director, says: 'Diptyque's Ilio Hair Mist is one of my all time favourites. For summer the scent is hard to beat - think a deliciously a sun-soaked blend of prickly pear, bergamot and jasmine. It's fresh, uplifting and lingers beautifully in my hair throughout the day. As someone prone to grease, what I love most is how lightweight it feels. I'm left with shiny, supple strands that look light and bouncy - it's perfect for adding a little touch of luxury to your day.' Pros Beautiful bottle Light, energising scent Cons Might be too subtle for some 3. Frédéric Malle Portrait of a Lady Hair Mist Price: £105 What Frédéric Malle says: 'A mist with a difference, Frédéric Malle's Portrait of a Lady Hair Mist lends your locks a subtle veil of the famous heady scent.' What we know: A fragrance heavy-weight, Portrait of a Lady is as sophisticated and striking as they come. Warm spices, velvety rose and deep woods make for one of the most opulent scents going - it's considered a modern day classic oozing with sex appeal. Ooft! Rachael Martin, beauty director, says: 'Once you've caught a whiff of Portrait of a Lady, chances are you'll never go back. Ideal for those who seek an unapologetically more-is-more fragrance (there's 200 flowers in this bottle) expect a deliciously milky floral blend of Turkish Rose, patchouli, sandalwood and frankincense all meshed together with blackcurrant, warm clove and raspberry. The best part? A single spritz is always enough. It's as potent as they come, so be rest assured that one bottle will last a very long time.' Read our full review here Pros Incredibly long lasting A little goes a long way Cons Is quite popular - not one for fans of niche fragrances 4. Miss Dior Eau de Parfum Hair Mist Price: £48 What Dior says: 'An echo of the sensual, velvety trail of Miss Dior Eau de Parfum, this hair mist diffuses the freshness of a bouquet of spring flowers. Featuring an alcohol-free formula infused with rosewater, the scent embodies a tender dialogue between floral notes- a true 'millefiori' - enveloped in woody accords.' What we know: Sweet, feminine and floral, Dior's iconic Miss Dior manages to blur the lines between a floral and a wood based scent. If you're a fan of the original, investing in the hair perfume is an excellent idea to increase its longevity. Rachael Martin, beauty director, says:'If you're after a sweet, beautifully long-lasting perfume mist, then consider this one just the ticket. Housed in a frosted glass bottle (handle with care), it epitomises Dior's luxury feel from the very first spritz. The scent is light yet impactful, leaving behind a subtly floral trail that lingers in the hair for hours without ever becoming overwhelming. Very, very pretty.' Pros Beautiful packaging More afforable option Cons 5. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 scented hair mist What Maison Francis Kurkdjian says: 'Wearers can expect a heady mesh of jasmine, resin, saffron and amberwood. The perfumer wanted a fragrance that translates the feeling of transparency and density.' What we know: Suited to all hair types, you can mist this through hair at any time throughout the day. Simply spray onto your brush for a more subtle, delicate version of the scent that still manages to embody all-out luxury.' Rachael Martin, beauty director, says: 'A light misting across hair and shoulders is all it takes for this iconic scent to linger well into the following day. Expect that instantly recognisable blend of jasmine, resin and cedar, anchored by saffron and amberwood- a now iconic composition that's become synonymous with modern opulence. The effect is sultry and sophisticated, without veering into overpowering territory. Baccarat devotee? Take note- while the original will set you back £235, this version delivers a slightly more subtle offering for just £75. And if you're after a lighter floral altogether give MFK's A La Rose a go.' Pros Long lasting Considerably cheaper than the original perfume Cons Has turned into a viral scent 6. Sisley Hair Rituel Le Parfum What Sisley says: 'This perfume reflects the brand's cult fragrance. It is designed to develop on both the skin and hair, which can retain scents for longer. Fresh and delicate, this hair and body perfume is instantly absorbed, leaving a long-lasting fragrance. Its elegant, heady sillage unfolds with each movement.' What we know: Hair is more porous than skin, meaning it absorbs perfume and lasts considerably longer. It's also less exposed to sweat and body heat, two factors that cause fragrance to fade away as the day goes on. However, the fact that you can wear this on skin too, means more bang for your buck. Rachael Martin, beauty director, says: 'Bright top notes of lemon, lavender, and verbena mesh effortlessly with delicate mimosa flower, before settling into a base of woods and amber- it's deliciously warming and sensual. Ever changing, expect this fragrance to evolve beautifully throughout the day, revealing a new, unexpected note every time the wind catches. I like this one as it smells subtly different on everyone while always maintaining that unmistakable allure. Fresh yet comforting, fruity yet floral- it strikes that rare balance of being both uplifting and enveloping. Impossibly chic French women love it - incase you needed further sway.' Read our full review Pros Can be used on the body too Long lasting scent Decent sized bottle Cons The label is a sticker, which doesn't feel premium when compared to the bottle or scent itself 7. Gisou Honey Infused Hair Perfume Floral Edition Price: £19 What Gisou says: 'Renowned for its sophisticated formulas, the brand's sumptuously scented solutions look to maintain and improve your tresses' health while boosting soft, supple and shiny strands.' What we know: Enriched with honey and argan oil, the formula does more than scent your locks; it infuses your hair with shine-boosting antioxidants, vitamins and amino acids, keeping hair in tip-top condition. Rachael Martin, beauty director, says: 'Small but mighty, Gisou's rose scented hair perfume is as beautiful as they come. Just a light misting adds a beautiful layer of lustrous shine that never strays into the greasy category. There's something quietly powerful about this particular hair perfume. It's unassuming and certainly doesn't shout. It really does linger gracefully, however. A wonderful finishing touch for the rose inclined among us.' Pros Contains UV filters Ideal size for handbag Cons It's only 15ml, so don't be surprised if you get through it quickly 8. Kilian Paris Love Don't Be Shy Hair Mist What Kilian say: 'Coming from a long line of luxury cognac brewers, Kilian Hennessy was never a stranger to decadent, sophisticated smells. After writing a thesis on the semantics of scents, it made sense that he used his experiences to create a new kind of perfumery. Cue: Kilian. As one of the most experienced fragrant houses in the industry, the brand dreams up alluring aromas for both your skin and strands. A case in point? The Love, Don't Be Shy Hair Mist that turns the brand's iconic gourmand fragrance into a hair mist.' What we know: Once an under-the-radar go-to for those in the know, this scent was popularised when it was revealed as Rihanna's signature scent in 2016. Rachael Martin, beauty director, says: 'If you love a sweet, gourmand fragrance then this could be your new go-to. While it errs on the side of sickly initially, it has a more subtle dry down that feels considerably more grown up than that first, sugary hit. The finish is rich without being overpowering - think notes of marshmallow, vanilla, and caramel. If it's good enough for Rihanna...' Pros Cons 9. Rare Beauty Find Comfort Body & Hair Fragrance Mist What Rare says: Indulge in a super scented boost with this Rare Beauty Find Comfort Body & Hair Fragrance Mist. This Rare Beauty Body and Hair Mist is infused with natural extracts to freshen and soften the skin and hair, delivered via the finest mist. What we know: Just a light spritz leaves behind a calm and comforting scent (the range's signature lemon zest, jasmine and cashmere wood) and it's also boosted with biotin and niacinamide - ingredients that help to add softness and sheen to both skin and hair. Rachael Martin, beauty director, says: 'Selena Gomez knows her way around a sell-out product. Look to this body and hair mist for proof - Space NK struggle to keep it in stock. Made with a unique blend of niacinamide, biotin, and peach flower extract, a light misting works refresh and strengthen hair. Thankfully, the scent smells gorgeous too - lemon zest, jasmine leaves, and tonka beans combine to aid a feeling of relaxation and calm. And breathe....' Pros Cons When do I apply hair perfume? 'These lightweight formulas can be spritzed onto styled hair as the ultimate finishing touch,' Bacha advises. What does hair perfume do? 'It adds scented freshness and a sense of lightness, and doesn't interrupt the natural texture of the hair,' says Bacha. Some also come with extra hair beautifying ingredients, like UV filters or hydrating agents. What is the best hair perfume? Morgan cites soft florals as the top-sellers. 'From Diptyque, Eau Rose, Do Son, and Eau des Sens are particularly popular,' she says. How do I apply hair perfume? You can spritz it directly onto styled hair, or apply to a brush before combing through - this ensures even distribution Rachael Martin is Grazia's Beauty Director.

Gingham is the print of the summer! 15 ways to wear the trend now, from midi dresses to hair accessories
It's official: summer is fully in bloom. What does that mean? Well, apart from setting out to find the perfect nostalgic pair of jelly shoes and strategising ways to make denim work in yet another heatwave, we're also thinking a lot about how to integrate gingham into our wardrobes. Sorry polka dots, but this checkerboard print is officially taking over as the print of the szn. When we say 'gingham,' no, we're not meaning just any old check print (nor are we referring to houndstooth, tartan, or plaid, thank you very much). We're very specifically talking about g-i-n-g-h-a-m: the picnic tablecloth print, turned beloved summer wardrobe pattern. Lately, gingham has been everywhere, from Olivia Rodrigo's super cute red gingham shirt dress that the singer wore to Wimbledon to Daisy Edgar-Jones rocking a classic black and white gingham mini at this year's Glastonbury and Bella Hadid's gingham bikini from her Frankies Bikinis collaboration. But there are also plenty of other ways to style the trend if you want to branch out from summer dresses and swimwear. Whether it's festival-friendly bloomer shorts (y'know, the ones that have been soooo popular this szn), a voluminous bubble skirt, Sabrina Carpenter-esque retro capris, or even tailoring. Below, we've rounded up a whopping 15 ways to wear gingham, complete with shopping recs hand-picked by our fashion team. And, yep, we tracked down the perfect gingham bandana for ya... Thank us later! If you're anything like us, you're always looking for a summer staple that can take you from work meetings, to dinner, to a nice ol' wine bar. And voilà: the gingham midi dress has got your back. Despite the summery pattern, the longer hem length is a bit more formal (dare we say...'grown up?') and can work for all manner of occasions depending on your choice of accessories. We'd opt for heeled flip flops or kitten heels for a date/drinks, loafers for work, and jelly shoes for a summery casual day out. Heading on a beach holiday this summer? An easy way to tap into the gingham trend is with gingham swimwear, either a one-piece or a bikini. Despite obviously having a purpose by the beach or pool, depending on the level of support required, bikini tops can also double up as a tiny crop top in a pinch (specifically in a laidback bar, or for a relaxed day of mooching in a resort). Level up your poolside look with a pair of flip flops and a straw sunhat. We love a good shirt. You can style your gingham shirt over a pair of matching gingham bottoms as part of a co-ord (see below!) or use it as an eye-catching top to go with a bottom half of your choosing. White midi skirt, linen trousers, even jeans – the options are endless. If you are looking to prolong the indie sleaze trend, well, we don't blame you! The late 2000s and early 2010s are a treasure trove of under-explored nostalgia, and a bubble skirt is an easy way to tap into this time period and the era's love affair with maximalist silhouettes (à la the peplum). The trick here is to let the skirt take centre stage, so try your gingham bubble skirt with a short-sleeved tee or a plain tank top. Gingham shorts in any silhouette – be it bloomers, boxers, or Bermudas – can work well in a co-ord with a matching (or contrasting, if you're feeling wild) gingham shirt for a nice lunch date or a cute day out. You can also style with a baseball cap, t-shirt and trainers for a more low-key, comfy look. Or, style with a peasant blouse and stick on a pair of cowboy boots for a Westerncore take. Bandanas and headscarves, particularly in gingham, are a major hair look this summer. They work well with festival attire like handkerchief tops and short-shorts, with a more westerncore look like denim shorts and cowboy boots, or even your bikini. What goes better with gingham than gingham?! It seems the high street agrees, with endless cute checkered co-ords around right now. We love a shirt and boxer shorts set, but the easiest way to wear a gingham co-ord is in the form of a top and skirt combo. Obsessed! Gingham can serve major retro vibes, and nowhere is this truer than when applied to gingham capri pants. Capri pants have had a major resurgence this summer for their '90s energy, but a pair in gingham throws it back even further, channelling a Sabrina Carpenter 1960s nostalgia. Rock yours with some matching headgear, a crop top, and some espadrilles for a party-perfect, TikTok-ready look for when you're bopping around to Sabrina's latest single on the dance floor. If you're meeting friends or a date for an al fresco dinner or cocktails, a gingham mini dress can be a great option. There are so many different variations, from a more structured, strappy gingham dress to a short and sweet cutesy, gingham, mini dress with a peter pan collar. Regardless of the style, you can tap into a western/prairiecore vibe with a pair of cowboy boots or go more preppy with a pair of ballet flats or Mary Janes. There's a reason that 'jeans and a nice top' was a generation's guiding motto for assembling an outfit: it just works! With a gingham top, you can easily summer-ify a pair of jeans, and bring a bit of sunshine to your outfit even if the British weather necessitates a more sensible fit. However, you can also go full gingham and try a pair of gingham trousers in a contrasting colour, styled with some sandals. If you're looking for a statement summer wardrobe piece, look no further. On holiday, everyone needs a lightweight pair of trousers, and selecting a gingham pair in an eye-catching colour is a great outfit hack. Dress up with statement jewellery and a strappy top and sandals, dress down with a pair of Birkenstocks, a denim jacket and a simple tee. It may be summer, but we still need a cover-up from time to time. A gingham jacket works perfectly for chillier or rainy days when styled with regular capri pants and a t-shirt, or with a full gingham look (bonus points for contrasting colours). This one's great for the weekends or for nippy evenings on holidays. 'Gingham' and 'tailoring' aren't words that immediately seem to go together, but, like with salt and caramel, plus other unlikely yet iconic duos, they work together perfectly. From blazers to waistcoats or smart trousers, there are a number of gingham tailoring options out there, which tend to work well when styled with smart sandals, loafers or ballet flats (the latter in leather/pleather, not mesh or jelly, if you're going into the office). We recommend opting for either a larger check and/or darker colours to make this one work-appropriate, if that's your aim. Midi skirts are big news this summer, so tick off two trends in one with a gingham iteration. No matter the skirt silhouette you opt for – A-line, peasant, boho, pencil – stick to a simple top, like a block colour tee (slogan or graphic print, options) to let the print take centre stage. Add a pair of sandals and you've got the ideal look for a garden party, dinner at a friend's house, or a particularly trendy BBQ. Scrunchies are a fave for a reason, a way of delivering a fun hair look even when you're between washes. When it comes to the gingham trend, a fun hair accessory in the pattern can be an easy way to dip your toe in and see if the look works for you. Try it in a bright colour to inject some boldness into an otherwise low-key look.

Gingham has taken over as the trending dress print of summer 2025
'There's no place like home,' Judy Garland famously said as Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz. While Kansas may be perceived as a little more MAGA than 'Merry Old Land Of Oz' these days, the 1939 film is still constantly referenced more than 80 years later. Dorothy's gingham dress is arguably one of the most recognisable props from the film—second only to her ruby slippers—and occupies such a treasured place in the public consciousness that the costume is expected to fetch more than $1 million (£730,000) when it is eventually put up for auction, following a fraught dispute over its true ownership. Loewe men's SS25. Courtesy of Loewe Louis Vuitton FW25. Courtesy of Louis Vuitton Skip forward to 2025, and the merry old land of fashion is clearly still feeling the Dorothy effect, as gingham has usurped classic florals as the key dress print of this summer. While historically it may have conferred a certain girlish charm (it summons bucolic visions of, variously, summer picnics, The Great British Bake Off and grass-stained school uniforms), in recent years fashion brands have put a more contemporary spin on the print. For example, for Loewe's spring/summer 2025 men's show, Jonathan Anderson sent out angular, thigh-grazing shirts in black and pale blue check. Elsewhere, for autumn/winter 2025, Louis Vuitton opted for supersized checks fashioned into asymmetrical minidresses and sculptural shirts. Daisy Edgar-Jones @daisyedgarjones Bella Hadid @frankiesbikinis Of course, there are plenty of more wearable, daytime options available off the runway, too. California brand Dôen has seen gingham success this season, with its Ischia and Leslie midi-dress both using strategic smocking to create eye-catching silhouettes. Younger designer brands, such as Frankies Bikinis and If Only If, have also delivered in this category, with the former collaborating with Bella Hadid on an edit of swimwear and ready-to-wear, which includes a number of ranch-worthy gingham dresses. Speaking of A-listers, Daisy Edgar-Jones was spotted in a Reformation gingham mini at Glastonbury, meanwhile girl-of-the-moment Olivia Rodrigo has been snapped in a number of gingham dresses, from vintage Ralph Lauren and Damson Madder, respectively. They say three's a trend, but three fashion girls? That's something to take note of. View this post on Instagram A post shared by DAMSON MADDER. (@damsonmadder) It's also worth mentioning the abundance of Comme des Garçons gingham pieces available on the resale market—most notably from Rei Kawakubo's 1997 collection (often referred to as the 'lumps and bumps' show)—which featured gingham dresses distorted by bulbous padding on the bust, rear and midriff, creating an avant-garde silhouette that challenged the conventions of traditional women's clothing construction. Surely, the ultimate proof that gingham doesn't always have to be traditionally girly. So, whether you'd prefer to defer to Dorothy, or be more Rei Kawakubo in your gingham styling this summer, rest assured that we've found a style for you.

The ME+EM Summer Sale Is On – These Are All The Staple Items We're Shopping
Since its launch in 2009, ME+EM has fast become a fashion editor favourite. With its accessible mid price point, the brand lives by an ethos of 'intelligent style', offering wardrobe staples that marry comfort and fit with timeless appeal. Helmed by founder Clare Hornby, the brand uses a '3F' philosophy of 'flattering, functional and forever', aiming to produce items that will endure. It has an eye on sustainability too, with organic cotton, recycled fibres and responsibly sourced wool used alongside circular design practices. ME+EM has gathered many a famous fan, with the likes of Daisy Edgar-Jones, Phoebe Dynevor, Leighton Meester and the Princess of Wales favouring its forever-chic, soft power pieces. The brand has made waves in the political sphere too, with Lady Victoria Starmer choosing to walk into Number 10 Downing Street the day after the 2024 general election in a Labour-red fluid crepe midi-dress (leading to a 300% spike in visits to the website) and Angela Rayner opting for a green trouser suit the day she was appointed deputy prime minister, and an orange ME+EM dress for her first cabinet meeting. As author and fashion educator Andrea Cheong tells ELLE UK: 'The quality of the construction is really high – you'll see bias binding around zips, French seams, pin-tucking and things are lined. I'm surprised to see the levels of details they have in their designs, particularly in the summer collection, given the price point,' noting that they could 'easily' charge what Joseph does. In 2022 and 2023, ME+EM was named as one of Britain's fastest-growing private companies in the Sunday Times 100 list and in 2024 the brand announced sales of £120 million, which was a 46% year-on-year increase.
