Sol de Janeiro earns largely positive reviews for intoxicating, tropical-gourmand scents and fast-absorbing, non-greasy textures—fans of Bum Bum Cream, Cheirosa ’62/’68, and body mists report soft, smooth skin and frequent compliments. However, reviews also cite inconsistent moisturization and firming results, some overly strong or headache-inducing fragrances with limited longevity on certain products, and repeated complaints about high pricing.

  • 62 is my GO to scent. I wear it religiously I use it everyday and have gone through 4 bottles! I suggest trying them all at Sephora to find your favorite scent! Sometimes they smell different on them if you just sprayed it in the air. The bum bum cream is a little too strong for me personally!

  • The Bum Bum cream!!!! The scent is heavenly and it really makes your skin as smooth as a baby’s bottom! The scrub too! The Beija Flor and Bom Dia are great too, but have different scents. This brand is pricey, but it is worth it!!

  • There's quite a craze for these products, yes they smell good but I don't find it exceptional.

  • The bum bum cream, shampoo, conditioner, and hair perfume is amazing! The smell is dreamy and sexy.

  • The smell of the original Bum Bum lotion is chefs kiss. It transports you to an island, where you are laying in the sun, drinking a piña colada. I’ve tried the body scrub and it’s not my favorite, as it’s very fine. However I love the body sprays. #68 is my go to for every day and bringing to yoga or the gym.

  • Smells divine. Can’t speak to any other alleged properties. But smells amazing is creamy and soaks in nicely.

  • when i’m buying lotion i’m looking for something fast drying and not greasy and the bum bum cream absolutely delivers. i can put it on and still get leggings up a couple minutes later without struggle. on top of that you honestly get a good amount for what ur paying and it smells so good too. i wouldn’t say that it’s helped with the appearance of cellulite or stretch marks at all but anytime a product says it helps with that stuff i take it with a grain of salt.

  • Their Bum Bum creams and body sprays have the most amazing scents that linger beautifully, leaving a trail wherever you go. The fragrance is just so tropical and sweet; it’s impossible not to be obsessed with it! And don’t even get me started on the hair oil! It adds such a silky, smooth shine and smells just as incredible. Every product feels like a little slice of luxury, and they never disappoint!

  • Sol de Janeiro is incredible. I’m quite sad that the coco cabana edition is not available in the US anymore . Meanwhile I’m looking to purchase the Cheirosa 59 body mist/lotion duo .

  • CASH ME OUT!!! I started with the shower gel, then the shampoo and conditioner and then the food fetish cream and body cream and I'm ready to feel soft. Its become an addiction to feel a lot better, and I cannot recommend it enough.

  • I adore your bum bum cream - I first got it in my fabfitfun box many years ago and ensure I am never in short supply since. I get so many compliments whenever I wear it.

  • I just bought #71 fragrance. It smells wonderful like toast and butter and caramel. My bf can’t stop hugging me. Love it.

  • the brazilian bum bum cream smells sooo good and leaves my skin smooth! but as is the case with a lot of viral brands, too pricey for what it is, so get it for a discount.

  • I’ve tried all their products, body wash, skin mist, body cream, hand cream, shampoo and conditioner. Everything is just fantastic. The scent lingers and is very pleasant not offensive.

  • Cheirosa 62 and the bum bum line is TO DIE FOR. I’m constantly getting compliments when I pair the lotion with my perfume. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and almost musky. However, if you’re looking for hydration, put on an unscented hydrating body lotion before using the bum bum cream, as it is very thin and not the most hydrating (it’s a firming cream so i’m not sure if that’s why).

  • Got both their 62 fragrance mist and bum bum cream in a PR package and I still use both products in my daily regimen(even if the mist is more suited for the summer time). Even for a mist, it really sticks to you, it has lasted more than some of the perfumes I've used.

  • This is my everyday body cream. Smells amazing and keeps my skin moisturized. Literally smell good fall day. Love this brand so much

  • I love the scents (though overpowering at times) but cannot use the famous bum bum cream because it dries my skin out. I do have the body spray, which is great if you like sweet scents.

    Very fragrant, not moisturizing.

  • Smells good

    Received a free product from Sol de Janeiro
  • The perfumes are on the sweeter side but if you like that type of scent they are worth it!!
