Which Should You Buy?
Batucada is a divisive, quirky summer scent. Some adore its cocktail-like vivacity while others are put off by a 'sweaty' or 'fishy' note. Truly a love-it-or-hate-it tropical escape that sparks strong opinions.
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.
