Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa Hair & Body Perfume Mist

I ordered numbers 62 and 87 on a whim after reading reviews. I have fragrance allergies, but they only flare up with cheap fragrances like hand sanitizer from the dollar store or cheap perfumes. I decided to try these and see how I do. I spritzed one cautiously and gave a little sniff and waited for the itching and hives to start. Huh. Nothing happened. Yet I could distinctly smell the scent. Even a waft is usually enough to give me hives. I tried another two spritzes. Still nothing. So I enthusiastically sprayed a bit in my hair and my clothes, careful not to get it on my skin. Lovely. No allergic reaction, and a very subtle scent that won’t send anyone with asthma (me) running for cover. Okay, so the fragrance additive passes the test of not being a nasty, cheap, asthma-aggravating fragrance. Awesome! The 62 has a light warm vanilla scent. Before I had allergies, I love Vanilla Lace from VS. It was my signature scent. I had to give it up after I developed allergies because even I as the wearer couldn’t stand it. This one lightly clings to my hair and clothes and just smells like a pleasant soap. It doesn’t haunt a room after I leave like a ghost, but it does leave a signature scent that lingers just long enough to say I’ve been there. Number 87 is a delightful coconut scent that has a beach feel. It’s tropical while still smelling mature. I am thrilled to have found fragrances that are both pleasant and varied. I look forward to trying more, but these are already lasting forever, so I have a feeling purchases will only be needed once a year.

I loooveeee Sol de Janeiro. Especially the 62, but man, oh, man… this smells so incredibly good! It’s reminiscent of a lovely coconuty/beachy scented sunscreen. I was going to write my review in my own words, but the Amazon generated ideas presented for this review are… Well, interesting. Let’s go over them, shall we? • Scent. Okay. Reasonable point. I already mentioned what it smells like though. Beach. Coconut. Sunscreen. Summer… but hopefully without the lemon juice or sun-in hair lightening bad idea, 6th degree of Hell sunburns, playboy bunny sticker tan line shape above the coochie covering low-riding jeans we all wore paired with 14 spaghetti strap layered tank tops and a QWERTY keyboard cell phone, alcohol induced blackouts, one-night stands, and week-long groundings. Looking at you, years 2003-2007. Anyway, moving on…. • Effectiveness? I guess it’s effective if effectiveness is determined perhaps by whether or not people might ask what scent you’re wearing. It isn’t particularly uncommon, and a reasonable question. If that is what is being determined here, then yes, it is effective. People generally have thought positive of the smell and inquire as to what it is. • Softness. Softness? What’s this mean? Like a soft scent? I guess I would describe it as a bright, bold, and airy, but still somewhat soft scent…maybe. Not like a light floral or baby powder scent though… More of a coconut scent. Slightly like sunscreen, in a good way. It smells like summer at the beach. Or the pool, I guess. I suppose it’s possible that someone might want to know if the bottle the body spray comes in is soft… or perhaps smooth, rather, and if that’s the case, then also, yes. Let’s not get it twisted here though… I don’t make it a habit to stroke bottles of body spray and determine the softness/smoothness of said vessel… That’s not something, I assume, most people are genuinely curious about. Maybe I’m wrong and way off base. Maybe it’s important to some people… But you know what? I don’t want to know why though. Please keep those thoughts and habits to yourself. Okay? Okay. Thanks. • Taste. Taste?! Sorry… I can’t help you out here. I am absolutely not tasting this body spray. If that’s your thing, please feel free to write your own review so we can all read exactly why company’s have to add warning labels to their products. Additionally, if you feel the need to taste this product, you might want to see your physician sooner than later because you probably have a condition called Pica… or Idiocy. I don’t know which… I’m not a doctor. • Value for money. Ah, yes, a normal and respectable review point. As far as value for money is concerned, I would say absolutely, yes. This stuff smells great. The quantity and scent itself generally lasts a while. It works well for casual occasions, and it’s just an overall happy scent. And I’m sure there are reviews that say, “The scent doesn’t last long,” “I have to reapply it often,” or “I can’t even smell it after 23 minutes 41 seconds [or insert random number of hours/minutes/seconds here]”. Look. Any perfume or body spray sprayed directly on the skin isn’t going to last very long. Things like body chemistry, environmental factors like heat and humidity, or fragrance concentrations can lessen the scent stick time on your skin. Pro Tip: Use an unscented moisturizer on your skin and then apply. OR… Spray it on your clothes. There are a few different methods… You can: 1.) spray it in the air and walk through it allowing it to cling to your skin (hopefully with unscented moisturizer applied first) and your clothes, 2.) lightly spritz it over your collar area, cuffs, etc., or 3.) do you and just go crazy with it by dousing yourself in the stuff like you’re an unbathed, male military member deployed to Iraq during the wretchedly hot summer months drenching yourself in PX/Shoppette purchased Axe Body Spray to mask your horrendous odor, and unsat lack of grooming standards, in the attempt to get the attention of the not-so-rare transformed stateside 3 to desert 10 deployment Queen… Also comparable to the applications standards of a cheap prostitute. Same same, ya know? Please, please don’t choose number 3. Best scenario, you end up with a case of regret (stateside 3 to desert Queen 10, remember?) and you still smell awful… like sour milk enhanced with coconut. Oh look! If it isn’t the consequences of your own terrible life choices! Anyway, just spritz it on your threads, within reason… of course. Giving people headaches (and nausea), because you lack the ability to smell it on yourself or properly bathe, isn’t cool. Sleep well, eat well, exercise, shower, brush your teeth, moisturize, spritz yo scents (liiigghhtttlyyy), and be happy. That, too, makes us all happy, headache (and nausea) free, and less likely to hate you for your overwhelming smells and bad decisions, okay? Okay. Taste though? Good grief. I’m all for natural selection and survival of the fittest, but… C’mon, Amazon. Taste? Seriously? 🤦🏼‍♀️

One of the best fragrances I've smelled in a while

Smells so freaking good!!! I’m so happy with this perfume just little sad it’s only 3.0fl but that okay :) I can travel with it since I’ll be leaving next week out of state.

If you are a fan of the classics, i.e. 62 You may feel a little..eh about this one. If you’re a fan of true “gourmand” scented fragrances, this one will not be your favorite, UNLESS you are looking for a switch. It has a lovely light floral scent that stays consistent from the first spray forward, a lovely smell of..vanilla (not quite coconut) is quickly whiffed. But the main note is and will be the light Solar Tuberose with only an inkling of Leite de Coco (which is honestly more vanilla than anything). It blends well with the BBB Cream but the cream is “louder” offering more of a “gourmand” effect when all is said and done. I’m excited to try the different fragrances, But I feel I’m truly dedicated ti the tried & true of 62 & 71. This IS a nice fragrance, but I believe it will be returned & exchanged for a larger version of 62 after all….

I love the smell. There was no leakage in the package and very lightweight when I picked it up. My mom and I enjoy this brand due to the cleanliness and freshness it provides to making us smell good. Overall I loved this perfume.

87/Rio Radiance is my favorite scent ever it’s the best scent if you’re ever like on vacation on a beach or even at a river it smells amazing!!!

Not my favorite scent for sure. Won purchase this again

Consegna puntuale, ottimo prodotto!

I have tried 2 of these sprays now, and both have been so yummy, that I have ordered the other 3 to try. I spray on as I would perfume, and mist it in my hair. These sprays will be a life long staple for me! Love!!

The product was real and not fake and also came in very good condition

One of my favorite scents for warmer weather. It’s light and refreshing. Lasts a decent amount of time for being a body spray.

Il est incroyable
