About
Cheirosa '39 by Sol de Janeiro is a fragrance for women. Cheirosa '39 was launched in 2019. Top note is Coconut; middle notes are Vanilla and Orchid; base notes are Praline and Sandalwood. This database entry is for the as-advertised "new and improved" 2019 version."Our Coco Cabana Cheirosa ’39 fragrance is inspired by Brazilian sensation, Carmen Miranda. Loved by us as the original Brazilian Bombshell, Carmen Miranda lived up to the image in every way. Talented, beautiful, and bigger than life, Carmen became an international star from the 1930s-1950s, and a symbol of Hollywood’s golden age. She also ushered in Brazil’s own golden age, shining a spotlight on Brazilian music, dance, and culture for all the world to fall in love with. 1939 marks the year that Carmen first appeared in what would become her signature fruit hat, to the delight of the world. Cheirosa ’39 celebrates that iconic moment with our own iconic fragrance to capture yet another Brazilian sensation." (from the brand's website)
