Hair perfumes are having a moment right now, and it seems like every major fragrance brand out there wants a piece of the sweet-smelling action. I know what you're thinking, 'why can't I just spray regular perfume through my hair?' Well you could, but traditional fragrance formulas tend to be loaded with stuff that can be incredibly drying on your lengths. Hair perfumes have been designed specifically for scenting your mane, so are free from any drying ingredients.
With the likes of Byredo, Tom Ford and Chanel on offer, we're spoilt for choice when it comes to dreamy hair scents. Not sure where to start? I've tested them all out, to see which ones smell the best (and last the longest).

Gucci Bloom Hair Mist, Dhs205
Smells like: Gucci have somehow managed to bottle the scent of freshly chopped flowers with this hair perfume, it's a classic floral fragrance, whilst still smelling light and clean.
Staying power: 3 hours - The lightness of this hair perfume makes it perfect for everyday, but I found it faded after a couple of hours.
Byredo Elevator Music Hair Perfume, Dhs238
Smells like: Nobody does scent quite like Byredo, and Elevator Music has fast become one of the brand's most-loved scents. It's so easy to wear, with hints of violet, bamboo, musky ambrette and floral notes, it checks every box.
Staying power: 3 hours - It's light, so has a tendency to fade fast, thankfully the travel-size bottle is easy to chuck in your handbag.
Percy & Reed A Walk In The Rain Shine & Fragrance Mist, Dhs72
Smells like: Don't let the name fool you, this smells nothing like rain water. Think clean, fresh, crisp floral notes, mixed with a woody base. The hair perfume doubles up as a shine spray too, win win.
Staying power: 3 hours+ - The scent really clings to hair, so expect it to stay put for a good few hours.
Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Parfum Fresh Hair Mist, Dhs276
Smells like: With notes of orange, rose and heady patchouli, Chanel's hair perfume has a seductive quality that makes it perfect for dates.
Staying power: 6+ hours - Whilst the lighter notes of orange and rose fade, patchouli lingers for hours and hours.
Dior Miss Dior Parfum Hair Mist, Dhs180
Smells likes: A bouquet of roses...Seriously. If you want your strands to smell like a beaut bunch of flowers, then this is the hair perfume for you. A musky dry down gives the rose notes an edginess.
Staying power: 6+ hours - The combination of creamy rose and heady musk sticks around.
Tom Ford Black Orchid Hair Mist, Dhs237
Smells like: Tom Ford's signature scent, Black Orchid, has that ever-recognisable mix of sweet, spice and earthiness. The hair mist is just a dreamy as the original fragrance (except it's a whole lot cheaper...)
Staying power: 9 hours - Prepare for compliments all day long.
Frederic Malle Alber Elbaz Superstitious Hair Mist, Dhs589
Smells like: Frederic Malle is the epitome of luxe perfumery and this hair mist is no exception. Punchy vetiver and incense mixed with lighter notes of peach and rose offers up a winning combination.
Staying power: Forever... Welllll, until you next wash your hair at least.
