Best for Mood-Boosting

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Delícia Drench Perfume Mist

Pros

• Great for gourmand fragrance lovers

Just like a number of Sol de Janeiro scents, their Cheirosa 59 Delícia Drench Perfume Mist is also available as a body butter, but its blend is far less tropical than its predecessor. It uses salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla notes for an instantly uplifting effect.

“This was about pairing the right gourmand and exquisite woody notes to help deliver a mood-boosting effect,” he previously shared. “The blond woods bring a soothing comfort, while the delicious, caramelized gourmand notes bring an inherent feel-good experience.”

One satisfied customer writes: "The scent is nothing short of amazing! I love the way it transforms me from ordinary to extraordinary!" —Carol K.

Sol de Janeiro Sol Cheirosa 62 Eau de Parfum

Pros

• Long-lasting

If Sol Cheirosa 62 smells familiar, it's probably because the eau de parfum features the same fragrance profile as Sol de Janeiro's juggernaut Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. Comprised of salted caramel and vanilla bean, along with soft florals like jasmine petals, this scent aims to celebrate the iconic Girl from Ipanema and Rio during the summer of 1962.

One satisfied customer writes: "Wonderful scent in long lasting perfume form. The smaller version is perfectly sized to carry in your purse!" —Camille D.

Best Floral Scent

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 68 Beija Flor Perfume Mist

Pros

• Works for hair and body

Cons

• Not ideal for those who prefer woody or earthy fragrances

This Brazilian jasmine and pink dragonfruit mist is inspired by the country's 1968 Tropicália movement, which impacted a newfound vibrancy in its music and overall culture. And just like the lush gardens of Rio, Cheirosa 68 is also fresh and floral.

One satisfied customer writes: "I love this perfume so much. Whenever I go out I get compliments and I’ve gone through a few bottles already!! Thank you Sol de Janeiro!" —Jori
