After Cheirosa 62, this scent was my first introduction to the Sol de Janeiro Perfume Mists. The sheer baby pink bottle racked up some serious street credit on social media after customers started comparing this $38 bottle to Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris Baccarat Rouge 540, which retails for a whopping $335. Both are floral fragrances that feature jasmine (which I’m a sucker for) as the primary top note. Cheirosa 68’s inclusion of dragonfruit packs a bit of a sweeter punch than Baccarat Rouge 540’s saffron and cedarwood additions. I reach for this pink bottle when I’m running out the door for an errand or coffee with a girlfriend.

Summer-Time Essential: Sol de Janeiro Sol De Janeiro ’87 Rio Radiance Perfume Mist

Behind the Number: The summer of 1987/88 became known as the “Summer of the Cans” in Brazil after a bunch of cans filled with weed washed up on the shores of Rio. This scent is inspired by the parties, music, and art that followed.

This is my summertime scent, perfect for the time of year when the sun finally stays out well past my walk home from work. I’m a west-coast girlie at heart, and this bright yellow bottle makes me nostalgic for how I spent my summers growing up: back-to-back days on the beach, misting on sunscreen, with the salty breeze of the Pacific Ocean and the sun beaming on my olive-toned skin. When I’m not galavanting to the beach as much as I’d like to these days, the warm notes of solar  tuberose and sweet ylang-ylang transport me to a moment when my summer schedule was filled with hours spent on the southern California coastline. This fragrance also comes in handy during the wintertime blues, when I need a serious sunshine pick-me-up.

For My Fragrance Layering Friends: Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa ’59 Delícia Drench Perfume Mist

Behind the Number: In 1959 Brazilian songwriter and guitarist João Gilberto released “Chega de Saudade” (which translates to “No More Blues” in English), a feel-good, uplifting song that became well-known in the Latin culture.

You know those scents that are so intoxicating you can’t stop sniffing them, even if you’re not quite sure what notes you’re smelling? This is one of those. The scent overall is not as strong as some of the others in the brand’s lineup, but I can’t stop spritzing it. The perfume’s name, Delícia Drench, sums it up perfectly because all I want to do is drench myself with this blend of plum, vanilla, and sandalwood. In my opinion, this scent creates the perfect warm base for layering; I’d recommend pairing it with a soft, floral fragrance or go full musk with Byredo Mojave Ghost or Replica’s Lazy Sunday Morning. Heck, sometimes I’ll layer with another Sol de Janeiro, like the new Cheirosa 76, which makes for a powdery yet sweet topper.
