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 is a solid summer hit, especially for those chasing a 'luxurious sunscreen' vibe. While some find the watermelon prominent, others are surprised by the strong gardenia. Despite the debate, it's generally seen as a cheerful, great-value scent that transports you straight to the beach.
