I must be one of the few people who is not a fan of this brand. I find their products to be way overpriced but its the level of fragrance that I can't get behind. They are just so overpowering that it starts to give me a headache.

Sol de Janeiro wins passionate reviews for intoxicating, tropical-gourmand scents like Cheirosa 62, 68, and the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, with many praising long-lasting fragrance, silky textures, and a sensorial, elevated experience. Reviews also flag meaningful drawbacks: scents can be overpowering or migraine‑inducing, hydration and firming benefits vary, longevity can be inconsistent across mists, and the fragrance load irritates some sensitive skin.

I have been a Sol De Janeiro fan for over 10+ years, since well before it became mainstream and trendy. It all started with the bum bum cream! Their customer service has always been exceptional, as have their products. I have turned my sisters and my niece into Sol de Janeiro fans. We love everything from their perfumes to their body lotions. The perfumes are long lasting and the body lotions provide an ample amount of hydration. There is no going wrong with these products! I am excited to gift my sister the duo that is pictured.

Sol de Janeiro Rosa Charmosa Dewy Cream leaves skin so soft and luminous. The hydration is real. My only note is the Cheirosa 91 scent is intense, so a little goes a long way. Still a repurchase for me.

Sol de Janeiro is pure joy in a brand. Everything feels sensory, warm, and intentionally indulgent. Right now, Delícia Drench and Cheirosa 59 are my favorite scent combo. Delícia Drench leaves my skin deeply hydrated and smooth without feeling heavy, and Cheirosa 59 is such a cozy, slightly sweet, addictive fragrance. Together they layer beautifully and make my skin smell incredible all day. What I love about Sol de Janeiro overall is how they blend skincare performance with fragrance. The products don’t just smell good, they actually leave my skin feeling soft, nourished, and cared for. The packaging is fun but still elevated, and the experience feels luxurious without being overly complicated. It’s one of those brands that turns everyday routines into something you look forward to.
