I Tried Sol de Janeiro’s New Cheirosa 76 Physique Mist

A part of the enjoyable of perfume is how deeply sure scents are tied to particular recollections, eras, or relationships and the way simply you’ll be able to conjure up these sights, sounds, and emotions with only a whiff. You possibly can revisit your childhood, a highschool dance, a summer time fling, or a beloved member of the family just by smelling a particular scent, which is as near magic as we’ll ever get, IMHO. 

Sol de Janeiro is all about these evocative scent moments, whether or not it’s with their fan fave Brazilian Bum Bum Cream or their line of viral Fragrance Mists. However as a substitute of a day on the seaside, the model’s new Cheirosa 76 Fragrance Mist is supposed to move you to a Brazilian disco dancefloor in 1976. Forward, all the things it’s worthwhile to know concerning the model’s newest launch, plus my trustworthy reiew.

The Perfume

Cheirosa 76 is a lush, velvety mix of blackcurrant, midnight jasmine, and freesia over an amber wooden coronary heart, so it’s a bolder, extra forthrightly alluring scent than its siblings, Sol de Janeiro’s beloved, bestselling beachy florals and candy-sweet gourmands. Nonetheless, it nonetheless looks like an natural a part of that lineup; you’ve acquired your Cheirosa 87 for day after which, when evening falls, you spritz on Cheirosa 76, put in your LBD, and head out, leaving a path of heat, enveloping glamour in your wake.

My Assessment

I don’t essentially get ‘70s from Cheirosa 76, however I do get 2006—and never in a foul manner! Throughout that point, “fruitchoulis” and fruity gourmands have been in all places. This made sense, given it was the glitz and glam mid-aughts, the period of Britney’s Blackout, Perez Hilton, True Faith denims, and pre-smart cellphone membership nights. In style fragrances of that period, like Britney’s Fantasy and Calvin Klein’s Euphoria, have been attractive however nonetheless candy, with an edge.

Cheirosa 76’s mixture of juicy blackcurrant and amber would have match proper in with Lauren Conrad at Les Deux. In contrast to Fantasy with its cupcake accord, Cheirosa 76 isn’t a gourmand per se, however should you vibe with candy or luscious, nearly lickable, sink-your-teeth-into-it scents, you’ll get pleasure from carrying this scent for an evening out. 

As a result of it’s a mist and never a extra concentrated eau de toilette or eau de parfum, Cheirosa 76 gained’t final perpetually. It lingered for about two hours on my pores and skin, so I’d suggest tossing it in your bag for touch-ups earlier than you hit the dancefloor or the prime desk on the coolest new restaurant. (It’s additionally nice as a hair mist!) To make the scent last more, layer it with a fragrance oil like amber or patchouli or attempt pairing it along with your fave Sol de Janeiro physique cream, and watch the compliments come rolling in.
