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.

  • Finished a full bottle—it smells like summer dessert in a bottle. Perfect for anyone who loves sweet, warm, cozy scents. Great for both hair and body, light but noticeable. The scent lasts long and always gets compliments.

  • I have tried multiple scents from this brand and the pink and coconut are my favs! the pink one is very unique.. it’s a scent that you can’t easily find unlike coconut, floral etc. really love it myself but could be tricky if buying for a gift as other people might not love it.

  • Nice scents that deliver on their promise. They aren’t too overpowering, and while they aren’t going to last all day and night, they linger for probably 4-6 hours, maybe even longer depending on how many sprays you put on. I also find that they are great for layering with other scents!

  • wowie! the smell of this product is incredible...absolutely love. will be getting my sisters this for christmas, if you love tropical scents this is for you! absolutely perfect for travel as well. love

  • I love all of Sol De Janerios scents and perfumes. I use them daily, switching it up regularly. I love how many different scents they provide, they truly have something for everybody.

  • Absolutely love all of their products. Went a little overboard on my last order! These make the best gifts! Once friends try them they are hooked! I will be keeping some for myself of course! They are a must try!

  • Love this brand simply for the scents... the formulas & products are great and have cool ingredients, but the scent of the OG Bum Bum cream is just intoxicating! Love this brand, and their great packaging. Recently got the body oil & the unboxing experience was so cool!

  • Great moisturizing and great smelling body lotion, lives up to its hype. I've bought the trader joe's dupe before and it's not the same vibe as the real, original thing. Their SPF 50 body spray also smells incredible and I like that it's sun protection. Makes me feel good about using a lot.

  • BEFORE YOU GET MAD! This product smells unbelievable and I will forever buy their body mist because it smells like the beach and for $24 I want to smell like the beach but could we make it last longer? I feel like the second I spray it it loses its scent

  • Some of the scents smell kinda cheap but they all smell nice and the creams are so lightweight, hydrating and luxurious feeling. All of the products I’ve tried are great for summer!

  • The body wash is why I tried the moisturiser and it smells really nice. Very sweet. People of all ages can enjoy the smell unless you’re super sensitive to chemicals and then perhaps ask a dermatologist. Otherwise, I like.

  • I love these body creams. They smell so good and the scent lasts for hours. The new one they have out, the beja flor, has a very light smell compared to the others which surprised me, but I really liked that as well. I think the perfume would smell good.

  • Absolutely obsessed with the Bum Bum cream and the body spray. I love the smell. It is intoxicating. I have purchase this item multiple times already and will continue to do so. I have tried knock off version of this but it just is not the same !

  • The original Bum Bum Cream has a wonderful scent unlike any other I've ever tried. I've explored the dupes and they just don't compare. The only reason I won't give this a higher rating is because it is expensive, but it's a nice gift to splurge on occasionally. I’ve also tried the Copacabana Bronze Cream which has a beautiful glow and a strong vanilla scent. I think there’s a hint of almonds in there too.

  • This is a 10-scale product! I first tried the smaller version, then immediately ordered the larger. It smells amazing! Is not greasy & goes on nicely & your skin will feel like silk with a light scent all day. This is now my favorite for when getting out of the bath or shower. The one that I can’t live without. I’m a forever customer! I have referred to my friends & a few have complained about the price but I feel that the value is definitely in the product + a little definitely goes a long ways! I don’t have to use a ton of product to get the results that I want. Plus I’ve seen recently that you can get a two pack at Costco for a very reasonable price. I’m addicted.

  • I absolutely love sol de janeiro!! I have purchased several products and I will continue to repurchase. I have so many of the fragrances and lotions. I love 62, 68, and 40. My favorite scent is 68! The fragrances last super long and I always get told I smell good. The lotions are super nice and the leave in conditioner is great.

  • Omg!!! I need to tell u to run n get them all.. they soo luxurious n the bum I’m cream plz don’t get me started.. I love the way the cream n oil work together.. I love the way it’s smells n hydrates my skin

  • This body butter is so thick and it might seem a little too thick to begin with. But it just melts into your skin and is really great in the colder months. I also really love the gourmand scent I pair it with the body spray.

  • I love how soft my skin feels after using BumBum cream. It smells like sunshine and warm pistachio cookies when you first put it on. Yum! I bought the hair mask next, hoping it would make my hair smell fabulous. Although it smelled wonderful in my shower. I couldn’t smell it once my hair was dry. Because I am not one to give up easy, I bought the hair and body spray and the Cheirosa 62 perfume. The scent just does not last over a hour, so for that reason, I don’t think I would spend the money again (too pricey). I wish they would make a longer lasting scent.

  • Oh man. This Beijing Flora line is sooo good. The Bodycream is like nothing I’ve felt before. It is super thick and moisturizing and feels so so good. The smell is beautiful and the tub it comes in is super cute. Yes from me!
