£12 e.l.f. Spicy Bundt mist wins shoppers with 'cosy' scent

e.l.f. Cosmetics has launched the Spicy Bundt Nice Body Fragrance Mist, a £12 limited-edition scent inspired by an Arctic holiday in Tromsø, Norway, that shoppers are praising for its warm, comforting aroma.

Part of the new Pop Tromsø holiday collection, the mist blends spiced cake and orange zest, with top notes of spiced cake, juicy orange and mulled spices, heart notes of buttercream, cinnamon and cardamom, and base notes of vanilla, amber and woody tones. The brand describes it as ideal for transitioning from summer spritzes to winter favourites.

Shopper reviews and rating

The fragrance mist has earned a 4.8-star rating from beauty fans. One shopper shared: "This smells delicious! I love that it has a bit of spice because it balances out the sweetness so it's not overpowering. Been throwing this in my bag for whenever I need a little spritz."

Another customer said: "I was unsure at first reading the name, but it's a lovely warm scent with a hint of orange/citrus. Reminds me of fall and wintertime. The scent lasts a long time when sprayed on clothing. Will definitely purchase another."

One mixed review noted: "This fragrance mist is really nice; it is the perfect cosy scent for fall and winter. It smells warm and fruity with hints of orange. My only complaint is that it doesn't last very long, but since it's a mist, I can reapply it easily."

Layering and alternatives

Shoppers can pair the mist with the matching Silky Body Cream (£13), which shares the same spiced cake and orange zest fragrance, to help lock the notes onto the skin. A Spicy Bundt Kit (£11) is also available, containing mini versions of both the mist and the body cream, positioned as a gift option.

For those seeking a stronger eau de parfum, alternatives include Lattafa Khamrah (£42 at Boots), described as a cult-favourite Arabian scent with sticky dates, vanilla, praline and festive baking spices, and Estée Lauder's Cinnabar (£54), which fuses clove and patchouli with jasmine and orange flower.

One reviewer said of the mist: "I was gifted this product, and it's a very nice subtle smell that is very pretty but not overpowering! Great for everyday wear." Another added: "One of my favourite things about this mist is how long-lasting it is. Every time I wear it, people ask me what perfume I'm wearing, which makes me love it even more."
