Is Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 mist worth it? Who it suits, and who should skip it
Cheirosa 62 is the scent of Sol de Janeiro's Bum Bum Cream, sold on its own as a hair and body mist. This is a research-based guide rather than a hands-on test. It covers what it smells like, how to wear it and who it's worth it for, using Sol de Janeiro's own product information and UK retailers' listings.
Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Hair & Body Fragrance Mist 240ml
What works
- The same pistachio and salted caramel scent as Bum Bum Cream, so the two are easy to layer
- Can be sprayed on body, hair and clothes, according to Sol de Janeiro
- Sold in 90ml and 240ml bottles, so you can try the smaller one first
- A more casual way to wear the scent than a perfume
- Sol de Janeiro says the pistachio note is synthetic and the mist is made without tree nuts
Worth knowing
- Body mists usually fade faster than perfume, so expect to reapply during the day
- Alcohol is the main ingredient, and it contains fragrance allergens such as limonene, linalool and coumarin
- Sol de Janeiro says trace tree nut contamination is possible, which matters if you have a severe nut allergy
- The sweet, gourmand scent is distinctive: if you don't like Bum Bum Cream's smell, you won't like this
Who it's for
It's worth it if you love the Bum Bum Cream scent and want to wear it on its own or layer it, or as an easy gift for someone who already loves the brand. Skip it if you prefer fresh or subtle scents, want a fragrance that lasts all day from one spray, or have a severe nut allergy.
Cheirosa 62 is the fragrance Sol de Janeiro uses in its Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. This is the scent on its own, as a mist you can spray on your body, hair and clothes.
Sol de Janeiro describes the scent in three stages. It opens with pistachio and almond, has heliotrope and jasmine petals at its heart, and dries down to vanilla, salted caramel and sandalwood: a warm, sweet, gourmand scent. The brand says the pistachio is a synthetic fragrance note and the mist is made without tree nuts, but that trace contamination is possible, so take care if you have a nut allergy.
As with most body mists, alcohol is the first ingredient, followed by water and fragrance. It also lists several fragrance allergens, including limonene, linalool, coumarin, citral and eugenol. Sol de Janeiro recommends a patch test if you have allergies or sensitive skin, and it's for external use only, so keep it away from your eyes.
Mists are lighter than perfume, so expect to reapply. The simplest way to make the scent last is to layer it over Bum Bum Cream, which has the same scent. Sol de Janeiro also makes an Intense version of the mist, with roasted macadamia and amber notes, if you want something richer.
It comes in 90ml and 240ml bottles, and the 240ml is the one linked on this page. If you're buying for someone new to the scent, the 90ml is a lower-risk way to try it. My Bum Bum Cream review covers the cream itself.
How this page was written: I haven't tested this mist myself. Everything here comes from Sol de Janeiro's product information and Q&A, and major UK retailers' listings. If I test it, I'll update this page with a hands-on verdict.
The verdict
Cheirosa 62 mist is worth it if you already love the Bum Bum Cream scent: it's an easy way to wear it on its own or layered with the cream. If you're new to it, start with the 90ml, and if you prefer fresh or subtle scents, or need a fragrance that lasts all day, look elsewhere.
