Which Sol de Janeiro scent is best: our honest review

Sol de janeiro body and hair mists

We all love to smell nice, that’s a fact. Some of us like it so much, though, that the whole smell-good vibe got turned into somewhat of a (positive) cult! 

Take, for instance, Brazilians and their Cheirosa (pronounced something like shee-roz-ah), which literally means “to smell delicious,” translated from Portuguese. And if they even have a specific term to describe it, it’s a clear sign they’re up to something. Up to something incredibly delicious, that is! 

Featured brand

Enter Sol de Janeiro, an American skincare and fragrance brand with its roots in Brazil. They know exactly what the Brazilian summer smells like and have replicated those intoxicating scents in their Cheirosa body and hair mist fragrance series. No wonder they became so popular! With every spritz, you get transported to sunny beaches, and a never-ending summer and those are the things we could all have more of in our lives. 

In the list below, we rounded up all of the available Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa body and hair mists and provided clear descriptions of their scents for you to easily choose your new favorite fragrance.
