Alison Hammond has shared the exact vanilla and pink apple scented body mist she uses, saying it smells ‘absolutely divine’ – and you can still shop it for just £25
If you’ve ever wondered what Great British Bake Off host Alison Hammond uses as her go-to fragrance, then wonder no more, because the presenter has finally shared her favourite scent. Posting on Instagram, Alison shared some of her beauty favourites which included the Phlur Vanilla Skin Body Mist which she said was “absolutely divine”.
Unlike pricier perfumes, Alison’s body mist is only £25 for a huge 88ml bottle from Space NK, whilst the even larger 236.5ml bottle is only £38. The vanilla scent is the perfect pick for autumn, giving you all the cosy vibes with a sweet and slightly fruity scent.

Alison’s Vanilla Skin Body Mist combines opening notes of pink pepper, pink apples and sugar crystals with heart notes of lily, jasmine petals and cashmere wood. The base notes round out the fragrance with vanilla, benzoin, sandalwood and agarwood, giving it a rich, sugary and slightly floral lasting scent.
Whilst no body mist will last as long as a traditional eau de parfum, the Phlur one has been designed to give a little more longevity than most body sprays. You can also use it on both your body and hair, whilst most perfumes are best used whilst avoiding your hair, as it can dry your strands out.
Plus, considering most of Phlur’s perfumes cost between £32 and £99, it’s a great affordable way of getting the brand’s signature scents on a budget. Other great body sprays with similar notes include Sol de Janeiro’s iconic Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist which is now £28.50, down from £38, at LookFantastic, and Kylie Cosmetics’ new Vanilla Dew Hair & Body Mist which is also £28.
However, Phlur’s Vanilla Skin Body Mist has gotten some high praise from Space NK shoppers with almost 300 five star reviews. One said: “Love the smell of this product the vanilla scent is perfectly strong however not too overpowering. Additionally, love the packaging it is so pretty and simple. Actually lasts a while as you only need a little of amount of the spray. Overall, i would recommend this product!!!”
Another wrote: “Warm and cosy, so perfect and remind me of one of my favourite autumnal candles. I carry this spray around in my bag to freshen up my perfume through the day and get so many compliments. It dosent last all day however for the price is does stay well on clothing. It is not headache inducing or too sweet- I’ve had lots of compliments and will continue to use!”
However one wrote: “It definitely delivers on vanilla notes, however as someone that has tried many SDJ scents I really thought this would be better because it gives a ‘luxury’ appeal but it’s not. And it’s more expensive than SDJ as it’s rarely on offer! It smells nice, but it doesn’t last.”
But yet another praise Phlur’s Vanilla Skin Body Mist, saying: “Love it so much, lasts such a long time and not overly sweet. The smaller size lasts a while and the bottle is perfect to throw in your handbag. Not to expensive either when you consider the price of proper perfumes rather than body spray. so good!!!!”
