Brown Sugar Babe Sweetest Taboo vs Brown Sugar Babe French Kiss Body Oil

Both are Brown Sugar Babe gourmand body oils made with cold-compressed oils and free of parabens and phthalates, so the choice comes down to scent direction. Sweetest Taboo is the fruitier, brighter option, with pineapple, raspberry and coconut over caramel and vanilla; French Kiss is warmer and boozier, with blood orange up top and rum, butterscotch, amber and patchouli underneath. Owners of both report all-day wear and compliments, and the ratings sit close together, so pick the scent family you actually want to smell on yourself.

• Choose the Sweetest Taboo if you want a fruity, tropical gourmand that smells like pineapple, coconut and caramel, and you like a scent that reads sweet and bright rather than dark.
• Choose the French Kiss if you prefer a warm, boozy gourmand with citrus on top and rum, butterscotch, amber and patchouli underneath, and you want something that leans evening rather than beachy.
