There seems to be a bit of a viral obsession with this scent. The bum bum cream became a cult beauty product and then they released a perfume of it (Brazilian Crush).

I have the cream and love the scent so I bought the perfume but it’s so disappointingly short lasting! I can’t smell it on me after an hour and neither can DH/ a friend so it’s not just a case of me getting used to it.

has anyone tried any of the other perfume variations?

If you mean their perfume mist - I have 4 (40,68 and 72 in addition to BumBum scent which I think is 62) and I found exactly the same - pleasant and summery but almost no longevity at all. They last longest if sprayed onto clothes rather than skin.

Yes I have tried their perfume mists. What I would say is that they are INCREDIBLY strong smelling, someone wore one into the office and it was all anyone could smell.

I bough the moisturiser this week, while in the shop I tried all the sprays intending to go back & buy one - however like you say they had no longevity at all! I won't be buying one now, not sure I would re purchase the bum bum moisturiser either. Love beach scent but this one doesn't last. Maison Margiela beach walk is a better perfume option I think.

ah I’ll try the clothes rather than skin tip thanks. I wouldn’t buy it again which is a shame because the smell is so great!

they are at first and then they disappear very quickly!

I agree that they don't last long - I tend to use them when I'm at home and can top up. I like the fact that they're quite light and they feel a bit more laid back than proper perfume

Yes it requires frequent top ups which is annoying! I might buy one of those tiny perfume bottles and put some in that so I can bring it with me

Ah maybe the person at work tops up.

My tween DD wears the pink one 62 I think? The smell is so overpowering and very sickly sweet.

But I love the bum bum cream and shower gel.

I only liked the 39 which how now been discontinued. I’m sadly out of the mist but I stocked up on 3 big pots of the coco cabana cream and DH bought me one too. Should hopefully have about a years worth. 😁
