      ‘Savor the energy of a Sunday in Rio with inviting notes of warm vanilla, pink pepper, and amber musk.’ – Sol de Janeiro
      ‘My synesthetic approach and the cozy, Brazilian spirit of aconchego led me on a journey to bottle the sensation of touch. Blending velvety notes with warm vanilla and the tingling pulse of pink pepper creates a sensorial scent that’s deeply comforting.’ – Ugo Charron

      SUNDAYS IN RIO (2025) • SOL DE JANEIRO🔺, ScentAdvice

      From all the milky, sugary, vanillic scents in this category that I’ve smelled… this is up there with the better wearing ones, although it’s about as generic as is possible and it’s not going to please people who crave long lasting scents either.

      From the first moment on, I missed something to cut through the sweetness; there’s no citrus, no acidity, no brightness… it’s all powdery, sugary. I don’t even get the listed pink pepper that much. There’s some vague fruity-floral hint, but very subtle. It’s significantly nicer, but also more focused on the milky vanilla to me than for example Commodity Milk Orchid that came out around the same time. Mainly because the Sol de Janeiro isn’t that screechy and astringent; it’s more easy going and pleasant.

      It does get quite musky, but not in a bad way. It’s keeps it as more of a skin scent, with common and simple smelling vanillic, sugary, tonka, maybe even some coconutty leaning tinges. Not much happens or jumps out from start to finish. After about 4, max. 5 hours, I couldn’t smell anything, which I think is no big deal, especially given the price point.

      Nothing to write home about and personally, I don’t understand how these sweet mists haven’t run their course yet; this feels redundant to the point of ridicule. That being said, this would be one of the nicer options to go for.
