Beautynomics – The Economics of Vanity » Blog Archive » What’s New : United Colors of Benetton Body Mists Collection

United Colors of Benetton has been that “aspirational” brand for me as a kid, way back in highschool and college. My classmates would have bags from Benetton, and would sport fragrances from them, and I think I got my first Benetton wallet when I could first afford it. The brand’s been there for the longest time.

Body mists – those were also part of me, growing up. When I was in high school, classmates would bring their bottles of body mists from imported brands, and I think I actually bugged mom ( and was successful at that ) to buy a bottle of my own, of course, with me choosing what I exactly wanted. In this area, it has to be YOU who has the affinity for the scent, and not just some “uso” or “in” thing. You’ll suffer for it if you choose the most popular scent, or worse, smell like everyone else!

Oh, Benetton, why did you release this just now? You could’ve contributed to an even more exciting childhood/teenagehood for me! Hahaha!

Presenting, United Colors of Benetton’s Body Mists Collection. I’m sure, you’ll get to find one of them that screams YOU with their collection of 12 variants, getting inspiration from all over the world :

Younger kids might prefer the fresh happiness that the variants Warming Mango, Arousing Watermelon and Refreshing Apple give, while sophisticated scents include Energizing Pitanga, Sparkling Guarana, Charming Frangipani, and Relaxing Violet.

My sister who is in high school actually loves her Warming Mango most, while I am happy with my Sparkling Guarana. I am looking at getting a bottle of Energizing Pitanga for myself as I find the scent really unique, and pleasing to my senses. Very light, fresh, and clean for me.

So, now I encourage you to head on to the nearest department store and try out these scents and see what’s good for you! Retailing for P499.00, these babies will surely give you a run for your money!
