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.
A budget take on Bobbi Brown Beach, Shining Sand captures the salty sea-spray, jasmine and sunscreen-warm character that made the original a cult summer scent. It reads a fraction sweeter and simpler, but the nostalgic beach-day feel comes through.
