The 6 Best Sol de Janeiro Scents Worth Adding to Your Fragrance Wardrobe

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

If you're looking for a new layerable perfume, or a body spray that happens to double as a hair fragrance, allow us to recommend one of the best Sol de Janeiro scents.

Each of the brand's fragrances masterfully bottles a vacation to the South American tropics, something that's entirely by design. The popular scents are crafted by master perfumer Jérôme Epinette, the "nose" behind best-selling perfumes from other beloved brands, like Byredo and Victoria Beckham. "We were just starting out when we met Jérôme, but we knew exactly what we wanted to create and what we wanted to bring to the world—the joy of Brazil and the Brazilian spirit,” Sol de Janeiro co-founder, Camila Pierotti says in a statement.

Sol de Janeiro currently only has one true eau de parfum, but the virality of the brand's customizable mists falls right in line with an emerging body spray fragrance trend, which has seen a recent resurgence in popularity. "Aside from smelling gorgeous, many of the body mists of today boast formulations which include good-for-you ingredients both for the skin and hair—an added beauty bonus,” Gwen Gonzalez, a perfumer for Givaudan, recently told Bazaar. The brand's ethos includes a commitment to exclusively use vegan, science-backed ingredients in its formulas that are all dermatologist-tested for efficacy.

To make it simple to choose your next signature fragrance, we've rounded up some of the best Sol de Janeiro scents Bazaar editors and TikTok beauty enthusiasts are raving about.

Cheirosa 59 Delícia Drench Perfume Mist

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 told Bazaar. “The blond woods bring a soothing comfort, while the delicious, caramelized gourmand notes bring an inherent feel-good experience.”

Sol Cheirosa 62 Eau de Parfum

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.

Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 68 Beija Flor Perfume Mist

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

Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 71 Perfume Mist

Be prepared to answer the question, "What perfume are you wearing?" every time you spritz on Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa 71. Its combination of caramelized vanilla, toasted macadamia nut, and coconut blossom smells good enough to eat, and is a perfect scent match for the gourmand fragrance lover.

One satisfied customer writes: "This scent smells so delicious like cookies! I received a small bottle, but may need a bigger one. It layers so well with other sweet, bakery, or vanilla scents!" —Cyn

Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 40 Bom Dia Bright Perfume Mist

Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 40 Bom Dia Bright is one of Sol de Janeiro's most robust—and perhaps sexiest—fragrances, combining notes of black amber plum, Brazilian orchid, and warm musk. It's scent profile is based on the excitement of Rio's first-ever Carnaval Ball in 1840.

One satisfied customer writes: "It smells heavenly. it has the perfect mix between floral and warm vanilla and is perfect for all year around. I love it so much and was the best decision I’ve ever made!!!!!!!" —Emily

Rio Radiance Perfume Mist

Sol de Janeiro makes it a breeze to keep a little of summer with you year-round, thanks to its beach-inspired Rio Radiance Perfume Mist. The solar-floral fragrance has top notes of leite de coco (coconut milk), and literal warm sand, with middle and base notes like ylang ylang and amber essence that help round it out.

One satisfied customer writes: "Took this perfume with me on vacation to Cancun this last summer and it was perfect for the beach. It has a strong scent of coconut and it just fit the vibe of beachy sand vibes! Absolutely loved it!" —Mackenna
