SOL DE JANEIRO Hair & Body Perfume Mist

I've purchased '68 twice now. Smells light and refreshing and summer-y, fruity but not sappy, and floral but not cloying. Enough of a warm base note to balance it out nicely. I mist it on my skin, clothes, and hair right after I've put on lotion and it lasts me pretty much all day. The second bottle I got smelled a little strong on the alcohol when first sprayed on, a little off-putting BUT it went away after a bit. Paired it with the matching deodorant and people stop me to say I smell great and ask what it was. If you're sensitive to heavy or sweet scents like I am this is a great choice, never made me feel queasy or gave me a headache. The bottle is decently sized and lasted a good number of months being used generously. I hope the next one I order will not have that mild stinging alcohol smell, otherwise it's been my favorite perfume so far!

59 is so me just wish the scent was a little stronger. I feel like I have to spray it so many times for it to make an impact! This is the best fragrance in the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa line imo, but really doesn't carry like some of the others. I don't get comments from people about what I'm wearing like I did when I wore 40 (love that one too), but when I put on a sweater I wore with this previously, I can smell it so I know it is lingering in my clothing. It's a very soft baby powdery vanilla scent. Love it. Will continue to buy because it's just that good. Layered with EOS Vanilla Cashmere body lotion it's even better.

68 is sweet and fruity with just enough floral to make it feel flirty but not grandma-y. pink dragonfruit and lychee hit first, then it softens into jasmine and that creamy vanilla-musk dry down. no weird alcohol smell, the water quality (if that’s even the right term for perfume lol) is clean, and the color is a pretty blush pink in the bottle. it’s not heavy, so you can go crazy spraying it without choking everyone out. longevity is insane for a body mist — i spray once and it lasts me like 3-4 days, im not kidding. basically, it’s the scent equivalent of having a good hair day. this scent is my secret weapon fr. i layer it with eos pink champagne body wash or method pure peace (depends what’s in stock), eos pink champagne shave oil, hempz sweet jasmine & rose lotion, naturewell bouncy plumping body oil, then this perfume, then dove dragonfruit & coconut deodorant or old spice oasis. i know that sounds like a lot but trust me it mixes like magic. i smell like a walking dream and people notice. value for money? 100%. lit’s sweet, clean, tropical, and just sexy. not overpowering but still makes a statement.

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? 🤦🏼‍♀️

This is my favorite perfume I’ve ever bought. I’ve been using this scent for over 3 years now and I will never get sick of it. I just bought a replacement for the one I got over a year ago because I was running low. This bottle will last for over a year or more depending on how frequently you use it. It’s definitely pricey, but I think it’s worth it for how amazing it smells and how long it lasts. Get number 40, you will not be disappointed
