The 7 Most Luxurious-Smelling Hair Perfumes

Infused with the brand owner’s honey (from their 200-year-old farm) and argan oil, Gisou’s Honey Infused Hair Parfum formula is refreshing, hydrating and shine-boosting. The honey is a natural humectant that helps to lock in moisture, resulting in smoother, more luminous-looking locks, and the argan oil strengthens with fatty acids. But beyond that, the scent is a star all on its own, too: golden honey tones mix with notes of familiar lavender and fruity blackberry, evocating the feeling of late summer evenings in the brand’s Dutch countryside home.

Though some might prefer to go light and breezy with their hair scents, there are no rules. Why not create a cosseting cloud of a bold and beautiful scent around yourself to boost your mood through the day? And when it comes to bold ingredients, not much comes close to oud – earthy, spicy, resin-like and sweet all at the same time. Initio’s blend is a distilled version of their enigmatic fragrance – blended with natural oud wood, lavender, saffron and musk – that is crafted to care for the hair at the same time as giving it a long-lasting hit of the stunning scent.

The minimalist and cool fragrance brand Byredo offers a few of its iconic scents in hair perfume format, but we think Mojave Ghost is perhaps best suited to the format. Delivered in a fine mist, the woody blend – inspired by a rare plant that blooms in the Californian desert – is musky and sensual, crisped up with amber and cedarwood. A truly unisex perfume, it’s luminous yet subtle, which translates wonderfully in this lightweight, long-lasting and non-greasy formula.

We’re quite sure this iconic, viral fragrance needs no introduction. But what you may not have known is that you can get your hands on it in hair mist form – lightweight (designed to respect hair health) but just as recognisable in terms of the scent. For true superfans of the stunning, sell-out perfume, this is the next best thing to washing your hair with it.
