The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023 by Sol de Janeiro, Bikini Season is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance crafted by Jérôme Epinette. It opens with the vibrant zest of guava and lemon, balanced by creamy coconut and orchid, creating an effervescent tropical escape. As it settles, vanilla and musk lend warmth and depth, while orris adds a subtle powdery note that rounds out the composition.

How to wear it

Apply Bikini Season in light layers — its tropical top notes are bright but fleeting. The gourmand base notes, like vanilla and musk, will linger closer to your skin throughout the day, making it perfect for warm weather.
