Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, unique, and utterly nostalgic, Bobbi Brown Beach is either your Holy Grail of sunscreen scents or a scrubber. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, it's summer in a bottle.
This flanker from Givenchy is a divisive summer scent. It's too sweet for some, a tropical dream for others. If you're into fruity-floral gourmands with a marine twist, hunt down a bottle - it's a cult favourite for a reason.

Seasons
A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
Occasions
Its casual, breezy character and the prevalent sunscreen note make it perfect for relaxed settings like casual outings or sports. While generally light, its distinct profile might be too informal for office or formal events, though some find it inoffensive enough for work, especially given its moderate longevity.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its bold, sweet, and tropical nature makes it perfect for casual outings and dates, particularly in warmer weather. It's likely too strong and playful for formal events or most office environments, but the freshness could work for some sporty occasions.
