Hi there!
The French equivalent is 'pêché mignon,' which literally means 'cute sin.'
I hope that that is of some assistance!
Amitiés,

plaisir coupable
Which is culpable pleasure. Which I guess translated loosely means "you are in league with someone or something to experience something that makes you happy, even though you feel you do not deserve this good feeling."
That is the way I interpret it from English to French and then back again.

Yes I would say "un plaisir coupable" or even "un coupable plaisir" in literary terms.
"Pêché mignon" is also acceptable, of course!

Plaisir coupable.
And sorry for carnation but yes, we use it in France.

Another possibility would be "peccadille".
