What Is Cheirosa 71 Perfume Mist?
First, let’s break down the name: In Portuguese, cheirosa means to smell incredibly delicious. And the number 71 comes from the year 1971, when the iconic Confeitaria Colombo bakery swept Rio. Created by famed perfumer Jerome Epinette, Cheirosa 71 is the kind of warm and cozy scent you’ll want to spritz all day long. Even better, you can: The comforting fragrance can be reapplied throughout the day and also layered with our other perfume mists.

It dries down to sophisticated tonka bean and coconut blossom notes.
