Behind The Scents: How We Name Our Perfume Mists

Cheirosa means to smell incredibly delicious. The ultimate compliment in Brazil is the inspiration for all our Perfume Mist. At Sol de Janeiro, we believe in immersive fragrance experiences with the power to transcend. It’s like an obsession in a spritz. Everyone will ask, What are you wearing? 

If you’ve tried our Perfume Mist before, you may have wondered about the numbers in the names. Where did they come from, and what do they mean? The answer is as expressive and enticing as the scents themselves: Each Perfume Mist is inspired by an event that changed the cultural fabric of Brazil––even down to the names, which are derived from the year when the milestone took place. 

Let’s keep going and immerse ourselves in a little history.
