Does the name ‘Bum Bum’ ring a bell? The brainchild of American beauty behemoth Sol de Janeiro, the Bum Bum Body Cream and Cheirosa ’62 is reminiscent of a hot summer day by the beach. A smashing hit in the Bath and Body category globally, SDJ strikes again; meet the scrumptious Delícia Drench range, boasting uplifting notes of vanilla orchid, sugared violet, and sheer sandalwood. “A revolution for both the body and mind,” I took the brand’s new duo for a test drive, and I’m pleased to report they delivered on their promise – and hype (the range launched in the international market last December).
