spritzing

Giving quick mists

Spritzing is the act of squirting or spraying a fine mist of liquid, typically from a small bottle or atomizer.

People spritz perfume, hair products, or cleaning solutions.

The word comes from German and suggests a quick, light application rather than a heavy dousing.
