Inside the Sol De Janeiro picks
Cheirosa 62 Body Mist launched in 2017 and smells like a creamy pistachio dessert with salted caramel. Pistachio and almond come first, then salted caramel, vanilla and sandalwood.
Salted caramel milkshake with toasted nuts describes Cheirosa 71 (2020), which opens on vanilla caramel and sea salt before tonka bean and coconut blossom.
Cheirosa 68 (2022) goes fruitier: sweet lychee and vanilla, with lychee and dragon fruit up top and a musk and vanilla base.
