Oh, how I love the Sol de Janeiro products – have so ever since I discovered the brand just a little under a year ago, and since then, I’ve been getting my hands on the new scents as soon as they were released.

Except for the limited edition scents usually released a little before summer time, because I just cannot stand limited edition products.

Not just because I’m not sure about the scents, but rather because Sol de Janeiro is a brand that tends to take a long time to bring back fan favorites, and I just don’t want to fall in love with a fragrance I won’t be able to find later.

I currently own all of the permanent Sol de Janeiro body mist scents, with the classic ones, Cheirosa 62, Cheirosa 71, 40 and 68 being some of the first I ever purchased.

And since I’ve also been able to get my hands on the three latest scents, Cheirosa 59 (which matches the Delicia Drench body butter), Cheirosa 48, and recently, the astonishing Cheirosa 76 body mist, I thought the time had come for a full ranking of the fragrances.

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa Body Mist Fragrances Ranked (From Favorite to Least Liked)

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 40 Body Mist

best sol de janeiro body mist scents ranked - sol de janeiro cheirosa 40, 48, 59, 62, 68, 71, 76, 87

Here are the fragrance notes in the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 40 body mist:

Top: Black Amber Plum, Crème de Cassis
Mid: Jasmine Blooms, Brazilian Orchid
Dry: Vanilla Woods, Warm Musk

One of the strongest Sol de Janeiro scents, Cheirosa 40 offers a lingering, alluring mix of jasmine, musk, vanilla woods, and black amber on a sweet base.

Floral and sweet, it’s the one that resembles a true perfume the most.

The Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 40 scent is overall my favorite, and the body mist matches the Bom Dia body cream and Bom Dia body scrub.

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 68 Body Mist

sol de janeiro body mist combos - cheirosa 40 and cheirosa 68

Here are the fragrance notes in the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 68 body mist:

Top: Pink Dragonfruit, Lychee Essence
Mid: Brazilian Jasmine, Ocean Air, Hibiscus
Dry: Sheer Vanilla, Sun Musk

More floral than the Cheirosa 40 body mist, Cheirosa 68 has a dreamy base of musk and jasmine softened by vanilla, lychee and dragonfruit.

This is another one of the strongest scents available at Sol de Janeiro, and the one that matches the Beija Flor Elasti-Cream.

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 76 Body Mist

best sol de janeiro body mist scents ranked - sol de janeiro cheirosa 40, 48, 59, 62, 68, 71, 76, 87

Here are the fragrance notes in the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 76 body mist:

Top: Black Currant, Pear Nectar​
Mid: Midnight Jasmine, Vanilla Crème, Lush Freesia​
Dry: Amber Woods, Caramelized Patchouli

One of my latest purchases, the Cheirosa 76 fragrance is an intriguing one, with notes of amber woods, vanilla, jasmine and patchouli sweetened with pear and black currant.

The smell is overall feminine and tangy, and that’s another one of the Sol de Janeiro body mists that resembles a perfume the most – a perfect scent for the end of the summer, fall and winter time.

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 71 Body Mist

best sol de janeiro body mist scents ranked from spring/summer to fall/winter - sol de janeiro cheirosa 40, 48, 59, 62, 68, 71, 76, 87

Here are the fragrance notes in the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 71 body mist:

Top: Caramelized Vanilla, Sea Salt
Mid: Toasted Macadamia Nut, White Chocolate
Dry: Tonka Bean, Coconut Blossom

I didn’t really know how to rank the Cheirosa 71 body mist, as it’s consistently been a favorite of mine ever since I started using Sol de Janeiro scents.

I could very well have ranked it first, if it weren’t for its very sweet, Christmassy scent that makes it more suitable for fall and winter…

Even if I use it during spring and summer anyway.

Notes of caramel, vanilla and chocolate are all concentrated into one of the most long lasting Sol de Janeiro body mists I currently own, and if you like this fragrance family, do check out the Brazilian Kiss lip butter for the same scent!

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Body Mist

best sol de janeiro body mist scents ranked - sol de janeiro cheirosa 40, 48, 59, 62, 68, 71, 76, 87

Here are the fragrance notes in the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 body mist:

Top: Velvet Plum, Sugared Violet​
Mid: Vanilla Orchid​, Whipped Amber​
Dry: Sheer Sandalwood, Fresh Vetiver

Fourth in my ranking, we have the Cheirosa 59 body mist, which matches the Delicia Drench body butter released last year.

The only downside to the Cheirosa 59 scent, at least when it comes to the body mist, is its bit-weak character.

The body butter itself has a much stronger scent, woody and floral, with a base of sandalwood, vanilla, amber, orchid, plum and violet.

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Body Mist

best sol de janeiro body mist scents ranked from spring/summer to fall/winter - sol de janeiro cheirosa 40, 48, 59, 62, 68, 71, 76, 87

Here are the fragrance notes in the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 body mist:

Top: Pistachio, Almond
Mid: Heliotrope, Jasmine Petals
Dry: Vanilla, Salted Caramel, Sandalwood

While the Cheirosa 62 body mist is one of the most popular ever released by the brand, it is one of my least favorites.

I am way more into woody and oriental scents, and this one just screams summer in a way that doesn’t suit my personality, in addition to not being that long lasting on my skin.

The notes of vanilla, caramel, pistachio and almond are all very present, and if you like the Cheirosa 62 scent family, there are other popular products to check out with this fragrance, which I like much better than the body mist itself:

  • The Brazilian Glossy Nourishing Hair Oil (an incredible product!)
  • The Braziliam Bum Bum Cream
  • The Brazilian Touch Hand Cream (one I use before every nail polish swatch!)

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 87 Rio Radiance Body Mist

best sol de janeiro body mist scents ranked from spring/summer to fall/winter - sol de janeiro cheirosa 40, 48, 59, 62, 68, 71, 76, 87

Here are the fragrance notes in the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 87 body mist:

Top: Leite de Coco, Warm Sand 
Mid: Solar Tuberose, Ylang Ylang  
Dry: Creamy Vanilla, Amber Essence

Formerly known as Rio Radiance and Tan Lines, the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 87 body mist only got a number in the past few months, and words cannot express how much I dislike it.

I do love monoï fragrances, but this one, despite notes I usually enjoy, like coconut milk, vanilla and amber, offers a let-down scent that also does not last on my skin at all.

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 48 Body Mist

best sol de janeiro body mist scents ranked from spring/summer to fall/winter - sol de janeiro cheirosa 40, 48, 59, 62, 68, 71, 76, 87

Here are the fragrance notes in the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 48 body mist:

Top: Guava Nectar, Coconut Water​
Mid: Sunlit Orchid, Lemon Twist, Wild Orris​
Dry: Pink Musk, Vanilla Cloud

The newest arrival in the Sol de Janeiro range is the Cheirosa 48 body mist, formerly known as Bikini Season which, if my memory serves me right, was released this summer for the first time.

And that is the one I just cannot – will not wear unless that’s the one I have in my bag and have forgotten to replace it.

The fragrance notes should have made me fall in love with it; orchid, vanilla, musk – that’s everything I love.

The tangy aftertaste of lemon is one I do not like at all – if you’re into that type of scent, you might love it, though!

3 Amazing Sol de Janeiro Body Mist Combos

Fall Fragrance Combo: Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 76 + Cheirosa 59

If you’d like a fresh, woody, feminine scent that lasts throughout the day, I’ve found that layering Cheirosa 59 and Cheirosa 76 gives an amazing result.

The scent combined is, I feel, what I would have loved Cheirosa 59 to smell on its own, and it makes me feel powerful when I spray them in the morning.

Spring and Summer Fragrance Combo: Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 40 + Cheirosa 68

sol de janeiro body mist combos - cheirosa 40 and cheirosa 68

My favorite, favorite Sol de Janeiro fragrance combo blends the sweet strength of Cheirosa 40 with the floral sweetness of Cheirosa 68.

This is a combination I love wearing when I have some eyeliner, statement lipstick and red nails on, and feels very suitable for spring, but also for fall time.

Summer Fragrance Combo: Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 48 + Cheirosa 62 or Cheirosa 71

What I dislike about the Cheirosa 48 body mist is the slightly acrid scent you have at the end, and that’s why I feel that layering it with very sweet scents is the best way for me to wear it.

The best fragrance to wear with Cheirosa 48 is with the ultra caramelly, vanilla-y scent of Cheirosa 71.

However, for something a little different and a tad lighter, I’ve found it works well with the Cheirosa 62 body mist as well.

8 Sol de Janeiro Body Mist Scents Ranked

best sol de janeiro body mist scents ranked - sol de janeiro cheirosa 40, 48, 59, 62, 68, 71, 76, 87 fragrance review

There you have it, my complete ranking of all the Sol de Janeiro body mists currently available on the market!

Those I swear by are definitely Cheirosa 40, 68 and 71, which I’ve almost run out of – gotta get some more ASAP!

Special mention for Cheirosa 76, which feels adapted for pretty much any season, even if it reminds me more of warm, end of summer nights – an incredible scent I will run out of just like I’ve done with 40, 68 and 71.

While some of the Sol de Janeiro body mists are definitely not my taste, these four are ones I’ll keep coming back for, again and again.

Until next time!
