Best Overall Body Spray
Native Whole Body Deodorant Spray
Pros
- Safe for sensitive skin
- Can be used on entire body
- Longlasting sandalwood scent
- Contains natural propellant that’s eco-friendly
Cons
- Container is not the best for travel
As mentioned above, body sprays can be used with a number of goals in mind. Some look to them primarily as deodorants, others for a cologne substitute, while the pits, groin, or entire body can all be desired targets. With that in mind, Native’s iteration of a body spray is our top choice for checking each one of these boxes, and then some. With a lovely, masculine sandalwood scent, this stuff smells as good as some of our favorite woodsy colognes.
Plus, it can last for days. Now, to be clear, we opted out of going a full three days without applying deodorant to fully test the 72-hour protection claims. However, we have made it to two days and this stuff really does hold up. Not to mention, it’s made without aluminum, parabens or baking soda, so it’s safe for sensitive skin and gentle on sensitive areas.

Best Body Spray With Prebiotics
OffCourt Performance Body Spray (2-Pack)
Pros
- Contains prebiotics to help control odor
- Long-lasting scent
- Comes in a multipack
Cons
- Scent can be strong at first
Body sprays, like deodorants, will often use different kinds of ingredients to help kill odor. This innovative body spray contains your typical deodorizing ingredients to squash odor, but also contains prebiotics that help reduce the proliferation of odor-causing bacteria, even as you sweat. Not to mention, the long-lasting scent is subtle but stays with you for hours and hours. It’s truly a double-whammy of odor protection.

Best Refreshing Body Spray
Bath & Body Works Ocean Body Spray
Pros
- Very refreshing
- Can be used head-to-toe
- Gentle on skin
Cons
- Can design is not travel-friendly
Body sprays are ideal for a quick refresh after a long day, a hard workout or really any time you’re feeling a little less than fresh. This watery, aquatic scent is instantly refreshing and just a spray or two is enough to instantly make you feel like you just stepped out of the shower. That being said, its capless design isn’t the best for traveling and may occasionally result in the deodorant activating in your bag if tightly packed.

Best Designer Body Spray
Tom Ford Oud Wood All Over Body Spray
Pros
- Can easily replace cologne, especially in the short-term
- Large size
- Long lasting
Cons
- More expensive than other options on this list
- Size isn’t overly travel-friendly
One reason to use a body spray is as a more transportable cologne replacement (who likes to lug around heavy bottles of cologne anyway?), and this one hits that mark with perfection. It smells exactly like the iconic Oud Wood cologne, but is lighter weight both in application and packaging. It won’t last quite as long as the cologne version, but that’s kind of the point. Use it as a substitute or in addition to the cologne when you’re on the go or just need a little refresher.

Longest-Lasting Body Spray
18.21 Man Made Sweet Tobacco Spirits Spritzer All-Over Body Spray
Pros
- Cologne-like scent
- Travel-friendly
Cons
- Scent may be too strong for some
This smoky, sweet, and bourbon-esque scent is boldly masculine in a way that’s both traditional and modern. It’s a rich scent that’s strong, even in a body spray format, so a little bit will last you literally all day long and into the night. And, like any good body spray, it’s elevated enough that it can absolutely stand in for cologne.

Best Energizing Body Spray
Stetson Off Road Body Spray
Pros
- Comes in a multi-pack
- Masculine, spicy scent
- Bold and long lasting
A few sprays of this and you’re instantly energized thanks to the zingy, spicy scent of bergamot, cardamom, nutmeg, and more. The scent is multi-faceted like your favorite cologne and evolves with you throughout the day in a way that not many other body sprays achieve. Think of it, truly, as an aerosol cologne. Giddy up.

Best Body Spray for Travel
Jack Black All-Over Body Spray
Pros
- Lightweight scent
- Travel-friendly
- Cruelty-free
Cons
- Scent doesn’t last very long
- Slightly more expensive than some others on this list
Instead of trying to cram your huge daily bottle into your Dopp kit, opt for this barely 3-ounce body spray when traveling. Outside of travel, sometimes you want to use a body spray as just a little topper, instead of the main event. This lightweight, subtle spray isn’t bold in the way you would expect from a cologne, but gives you a nice fresh feeling, especially when applied right out of the shower. Think of it as icing on the cake.
| Scent Notes | Citrus, mint, rosemary |

Best Body Spray for Groin
Dollar Shave Club Swamp Stop Ball Spray (2-Pack)
Pros
- Absorbs moisture
- Reduces chafing
- Has a cooling sensation
Cons
- Not suitable for whole body
Not every body spray is great to use below the belt where skin can be extra sensitive to ingredients like added fragrance or parabens, but let’s get real—sometimes that’s where you need the help of a body spray most. This spray, however, is specifically designed for your groin area and not only helps keep it feeling and smelling fresh, but also has an anti-chafe quality that keeps you feeling comfortable and dry.
