Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '62 Review: The Scent of Summer

How a Brazilian body mist redefined the modern gourmand category.

By Sofia Chen-Martinez, Fragrance Trend Analyst · April 2, 2026 · Updated June 8, 2026

Sofia tracks the cultural pulse of perfume — what TikTok wears, what Hollywood smells like, what auction houses bid on. Based between Paris and LA.

In the world of luxury fragrance, it is rare for a body mist to achieve the cult status typically reserved for heritage houses like Chanel or Guerlain. Yet, Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Crush Cheirosa '62 has done exactly that. Born from the viral success of the brand's Bum Bum Cream, this scent has transcended its beachy origins to become a global phenomenon. It represents more than just a fragrance; it is an olfactory manifestation of 'Cheirosa'—the Brazilian art of smelling incredibly delicious from sunrise to sunset. As a trend analyst at Vivir, I have watched the 'Vacation-Core' aesthetic take over our wardrobes and social feeds. Cheirosa '62 is the undisputed liquid gold of this movement. It captures the essence of 1962 Rio—the year the world fell in love with the Girl from Ipanema—and bottles that sun-drenched, carefree spirit for a modern audience. It is a fragrance that bridges the gap between high-end niche complexity and the addictive accessibility of a gourmand mist.
