Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 68: A Tropical Daydream
A luxurious review of the juicy, sun-kissed body mist that captures Brazilian beach vibes.

In this review
Imagine stepping onto a sun-warmed Brazilian beach, the air thick with the scent of ripe dragonfruit and lychee, a gentle ocean breeze carrying hints of jasmine and hibiscus. That is the world Sol de Janeiro invites you into with Cheirosa 68, a perfume mist released in 2022 that captures the exuberant, body-positive spirit of Brazilian beach culture. This is not a fragrance that demands attention from across the room; it is a personal halo of tropical warmth, designed to be spritzed generously, layered with abandon, and worn close to the skin like a second skin of sunshine.
Cheirosa 68—often called Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 68—is the latest numbered scent in Sol de Janeiro's beloved Cheirosa line, joining the ranks of cult favorites like Cheirosa 62 and Cheirosa 40. Where 62 is a pistachio-almond gourmand and 40 is a rich, sultry vanilla, 68 leans into a juicy, fruity-floral tropicality. It is the olfactory equivalent of a caipirinha at sunset: bright, sweet, and utterly refreshing. For those who crave a vacation in a bottle, this mist delivers a delightful, approachable escape.
