Brown Sugar Babe Nourishing Body Oil It Girl by Kayla Greaves ($55)
Another way to keep the funk away? A scented body oil. If you haven't already gathered, you're going to sweat a lot during Crop Over. I'm not ashamed to admit it: I was dancing so hard on some nights that I sweat through my clothes. The wet feeling wasn't the best, but at least I didn't smell like sour sweat.
Scented oils seep into my skin deeper than a spray-on fragrance does. When I sweat, the smell of the oil is what comes out. No stink. On this trip, I brought along a new fave, It Girl by Brown Sugar Babe. Its notes of bergamot, black pepper, bulgarian rose, and musk smell clean in the hot weather, are long-lasting, and create a nice little scent bubble on its own. I'm a little extra, so I'd layer it with Le Labo Cedrat 37 ($375), the perfect pairing.
