If you’re on the hunt for a new summer fragrance, Sol de Janeiro ’s latest launch might just become your new warm-weather essential.
Available in the brand’s bestselling scents, these compact, lightweight perfumes are designed for easy, mess-free application making them perfect for beach days, holidays and throwing in your handbag on the go. I’ve been using them nonstop, and they’ve quickly become my favourite beauty buy for summer.
With top notes of creamy pistachio and almond, flowery heart notes of heliotrope and jasmine, and base notes of vanilla, salted caramel and sandalwoood, this perfume balm is perfect for those who like a sweet, feminine scent.
You can wear it alone for a subtle scent, or layer with other fragrances to create a deep, unique scent profile.
Simply swipe on your wrists, neck or décolletage, and smell amazing all day long
The internet is already abuzz with the news of the new Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Jelly Balm Perfume, but what makes it so great? Firstly, it's incredibly convenient.
Thanks to its solid formula, it's completely mess-free and travel-friendly so you can always have your favourite scent on you. It's also super lightweight, making it the perfect option for your handbag or for travelling, as the weight of perfumes (especially if you like to mix it up) quickly adds up in your luggage.
For those with sensitive skin who typically steer clear from artificial fragrances, this is a great alternative to traditional perfume too thanks to the gentle-to-skin, alcohol-free formula.

Of all three scents, Cheirosa 62, their classic scent, is my favourite,
I love the Sol de Janeiro fragrances, so I was instantly intrigued when I saw these jelly balms.
The texture isn't remotely sticky, and it instantly feels like there's nothing on the skin, making it great for on-the-go application.
They’re also incredibly compact, which makes them perfect for summer when you’re carrying tiny bags but still want your favourite fragrance close by.
As someone who always ends up battling the suitcase weight limit before a holiday, I really appreciate how lightweight they are too. In fact, I can genuinely see them replacing my usual holiday perfumes altogether.
The scent might not be quite as long-lasting as the Sol de Janeiro sprays, but the fact that they're so convenient and easy to reapply makes them worth the money.
Overall, I love these perfume balms. They're an affordable and compact alternative to my regular perfumes. In fact, I think they'll completely replace my current holiday fragrances.
Each balm lasts for up to 1,000 swipes, making them the ideal option for summer on-the-go
The concentrated scent lasts up to 10 hours, but for those who like it to always smell fresh, the gentle formula is suitable for frequent applications - and lasts up to 1,000 swipes.
