Which is The Best Sol de Janeiro Scent?
Fragrance preference is very personal. For us, the best Sol de Janeiro scent just has to be the original fragrance of the brand – Cheirosa 62. Whether we’re generously applying the 62-scented Bum Bum Cream after an everything shower, or spritzing the perfume mist every morning, it’s a scent we just keep coming back to.
If you prefer sweet fruity fragrances, the best is Cheirosa 68. For Floral fans, we’d go for Cheirosa 40. For those who love a fragrance that smells like suncream on holiday, then the best Sol de Janeiro scent has to be Cheirosa 87 Rio Radiance.

The New Sol de Janeiro Scents
The Brazilian-inspired brand is known to release some hype-worthy limited edition scents. This summer saw the very welcome arrival of three limited edition Sol de Janeiro scents including Sol de Janeiro Beijos de Sol Perfume Mist and Carioca Crush Perfume Mist. These joyous beach-inspired scents have gorgeous fruity and sweet aromas we just haven’t been able to get enough of. But as with all limited edition things, the new scents of summer are no longer available, so if you managed to snag them, use them sparingly.
However, there is some great news for long-time Sol de Janeiro fans! The much-loved Sol de Janeiro After Hours, which was incredibly popular as a limited edition, is making a comeback. Now reimagined as Cheirosa 76 Perfume Mist, this fragrance draws inspiration from the dazzling discotheques of 1976 Brazil.
Get ready to indulge in a velvety, seductive blend of blackcurrant, white jasmine, freesia, and amber woods. It’s the opulent scent you’ve been missing since After Hours was discontinued. The new Sol de Janeiro 76 will be available soon, so be sure to keep an eye on our Sol de Janeiro collection for its imminent arrival…

Cheirosa 71
Cheirosa 71 Perfume Mist is inspired by Leila Diniz, the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian muse. This scent moves away from the floral and sweetness of other Sol de Janeiro perfumes and instead leans into warm, cosy, and sultry notes.

Find notes of caramelised vanilla, toasted macadamia, and tonka bean, and compliments will be aplenty when you wear this delicious fragrance.
Cheirosa 59
