Cheirosa '71

Cheirosa '71 is an oriental vanilla for women, composed by Jérôme Epinette for Sol de Janeiro in 2020. Cheirosa is Brazilian for smelling irresistible, and the fragrance is built accordingly: caramelised vanilla and white chocolate with toasted macadamia giving it a roasted, nutty quality rather than a syrupy one. Coconut blossom rounds it out, and a thread of sea salt runs underneath, which stops the sweetness closing in. Closer to a dessert than to a perfume, and unapologetic about it. It lasts a moderate while and projects moderately, and it suits autumn and winter daytime.
