Cheirosa 68 is the most hyped fragrance in the lineup — and for good reason. Ellis Tuesday calls it her most worn Sol de Janeiro mist and the most floral in the range. The comparison to Baccarat Rouge 540 is frequent, consistent, and genuinely apt: the pink dragonfruit and jasmine create a sweet, airy, subtly fruity floral that reads more elevated than a body mist has any right to. PureWow describes it as a great mist for everyday wear — "not too overpowering but also not too subtle" — with surprising longevity. The lychee note is subtle on skin, but the Brazilian jasmine heart is the star. You will start smelling it on other people everywhere you go after you try it once. Ellis Tuesday says this with certainty. It's that ubiquitous in 2025/2026.

The most versatile fragrance in the Sol de Janeiro lineup — Cheirosa 40 is the one the community consistently recommends for people who want something that works in every season. The top notes of black amber plum and crème de cassis give it a rich, fruity depth up front, while the jasmine and orchid heart softens into vanilla woods and warm musk in the dry-down. PureWow calls it one of the first scents that comes to mind when thinking of warm and cozy SDJ offerings, describing it as deserving of all its praise. The Reddit community loves it specifically for its sophistication — slightly more complex than the pure gourmands, less polarising than the heavier evening scents. Packaged in the bright magenta Bom Dia Bright bottle. Layer it with the matching Bom Dia Bright body cream for full-day longevity.

Cheirosa 59 is the vanilla for people who think they don't like vanilla. Where 71 is intensely sweet and dessert-like, 59 is warm, intimate, and slightly sophisticated — the sugared violet adds a softness that prevents it from reading purely gourmand, and the sandalwood and warm musk in the dry-down keep it skin-close and cosy rather than cloying. Ellis Tuesday says it almost reminds her of toasted marshmallows "in the very best way," noting she often catches herself sniffing her wrists throughout the day after applying. The Reddit Cheirosa community ranks it as the best deep, calming vanilla in the range. Currently Ellis Tuesday's pick for favourite SDJ fragrance. It is the scent that feels most like a second skin — intimate and deeply personal.

Cheirosa 71 is the most intense, most polarising, and most unabashedly sweet scent in the entire lineup. Ellis Tuesday — who owns at least six vanilla perfumes — says she needs to be in the mood for it, because it is "essentially caramelised vanilla, toasted macadamia nuts and white chocolate combined to make one of the most sugary scents" she has ever encountered. That is the whole point. If 62 is summer, 71 is autumn: rich, dulce-de-leche, cosy-blanket energy that works best in cooler months when you want to smell like the most luxurious version of a dessert possible. Use with a considerably lighter hand than any other SDJ mist. One or two sprays at maximum, because the projection is substantial and the sweetness is relentless. The Reddit community is unambiguous: if you love this category of scent, you will be obsessed; if you don't, this will be too much.

The most distinctive and most nostalgic scent in the SDJ lineup — Cheirosa 87, previously sold as Rio Radiance before the brand moved to numbers, genuinely smells like sunscreen, and that is entirely the intention. The solar tuberose and ylang ylang give it a white floral warmth that is recognisably luxury sunscreen, while the coconut milk and amber add a creaminess that prevents it from smelling synthetic. Ellis Tuesday describes it as "sun tan lotion in a bottle, but in the very best way." Space NK's reviewer went further, calling it one of the most expensive-smelling SDJ scents, comparing it to iconic classic fragrances of previous decades. If you have any nostalgic connection to sunscreen scents, this will be immediate. It is also available in an SPF 50 body mist version for the truly committed.

Originally a limited edition called After Hours, Cheirosa 76 proved so popular it became a permanent addition. It is the most grown-up, most evening-appropriate scent in the regular lineup — the black currant and pear nectar opening is assertive and fruity, drying down into a jasmine-patchouli-amber combination that is genuinely sophisticated and musky. Ellis Tuesday notes it is one of the strongest mists in the range when applied to skin, lasting all day and into the evening. The community response on the Sol de Janeiro subreddit is enthusiastic: multiple reviewers report pairing it with 59 or 40 for what they describe as "the most sultry combination" in the range. PureWow says it is "sensual, musky, and truly lingers." The pick for anyone who wants SDJ for night rather than day.

The legend. Cheirosa 39 was discontinued, which prompted four petitions, forty fan accounts, and years of consistent community agitation until Sol de Janeiro brought it back. The reason for that level of devotion is immediately apparent: this is a creamy, warm coconut scent that smells like "the dreamiest holiday you've ever been on" — coconut cream and toasted praline over tropical orchid and sandalwood, finishing in the toasted vanilla dry-down. It is not a sharp or synthetic coconut; it is soft, almost buttery, and undeniably sun-drenched. Fragrantica reviewers consistently place it in their top three SDJ fragrances. The official perfumer, Olivia Jan, described it as "born from a daydream of an indulgent afternoon on a sun-drenched beach." It smells like a piña colada that decided to become a perfume. Whether this is a permanent or limited return depends on ongoing demand.

Cheirosa 48 celebrates 1948, when the bikini was first spotted in Brazil — and it delivers exactly the liberated, sun-soaked energy that story implies. Guava nectar and coconut water make up the instantly recognisable opening, with lemon twist and orchid adding brightness through the heart, settling into a soft pink musk and vanilla cloud dry-down. It is the brightest and fruitiest scent in the permanent lineup — juicy and playful rather than warm and cosy. Ellis Tuesday notes a "really lovely hint of coconut, while still being quite fruity and musky." Fragrantica reviewers frequently compare it to Victoria's Secret Bombshell — same clean, sweet energy, slightly more tropical. The best pick for warm weather and daytime wear where you want something light.

Cheirosa 67 became one of the most discussed limited edition SDJ drops — partly for the scent and partly for the context. Sol de Janeiro released it in repurposed 71 bottles with hand-applied labels (each slightly unique), which the brand described as a sustainability measure but the community found charmingly imperfect. The scent itself delivers on its mango-forward promise: juicy and bright at the top, settling into the same warm amber-patchouli base that 76 sits on, making it essentially a mango-infused version of 76 according to multiple Fragrantica reviewers. One reviewer called it "76 with mango mixed in." The Fragrantica community has also noted it smells like the viral "sixty-seven" brainrot, which Sol de Janeiro seemed entirely aware of and leaned into. Grew on people significantly over time — reviewers who found it just "good" at first now rank it in their top three summer scents.
