Choosing a fragrance is a little like choosing a companion. The right one clicks immediately—it stays, it settles, it feels as though it belongs. Brazilian beauty brand Sol de Janeiro leans into that idea with its Cheirosa collection. Each of their mists is designed not only as a scent but as a state of mind: sun-warmed skin, a burst of fresh air, the sweetness of something indulgent. It's made to mirror the moods you move through, to match you in ways that feel instinctive.
Finding your Sol-mate, then, is more instinct than science. If a scent keeps drawing you back and lingers in your mind long after you’ve tried it, it’s your match. But always wear it on your skin, give it time to unfold and don’t feel tied to a single signature. Like wardrobes, fragrances are meant to be rotated, layered and experimented with.
If your happiest moments are barefoot in the sand with the salt still in your hair, Cheirosa 62 is the one that will find you. Pistachio, salted caramel and jasmine petals meet warm sandalwood in a fragrance that feels like sunshine on skin. It’s the same scent that made the Bum Bum Cream a cult object. It’s instantly recognisable and addictive.
You’ll know it’s your Sol-mate if: You crave that sense of summer even in the dead of winter
Fresh, luminous, a little untamed, Cheirosa 68 was made for open skies and days that stretch on without plans. Brazilian jasmine, pink dragonfruit and ocean air give it lift, while vanilla and musk keep it grounded. It’s vibrant without being overpowering.

If you find joy in the little luxuries and never skip dessert; and if an ideal evening for you looks like cosy afternoons, something sweet baking in the background and nowhere to go, then Cheirosa 71 will be a gourmand delight. Expect caramelised vanilla and toasted macadamia blended with tonka bean, coconut blossom and white chocolate. Indulgent, warm and moreish, it’s the scent equivalent of treating yourself just because.
You’ll know it’s your Sol-mate if: Little luxuries make your day
You’re the one who drifts into reverie mid-conversation, who finds beauty in the in-between—like the dusk light through a window and a song you’ve played a hundred times. Cheirosa 59 mirrors that mood with velvet plum and sugared violet, lifted by tuberose and ylang-ylang and rounded out by creamy vanilla. Subtle enough for daily spritzes, it’s comforting without being heavy. It’s the kind of scent that makes people lean in and ask what you’re wearing.
