The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 by Sol de Janeiro, Carioca Crush is a vibrant fusion of tropical fruits and powdery musk, designed to capture the essence of Rio's lively spirit. Created by Jérôme Epinette, this fragrance opens with juicy pear and litchi notes that instantly evoke the freshness of a Brazilian summer day. As it evolves, pink violet and praline add depth and sweetness, creating a warm, comforting heart. The base notes of musk and white cedar extract ground the composition, providing a subtle earthiness that rounds out the overall experience.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a lasting effect — it blooms within an hour, revealing its full depth. The praline note is particularly noticeable in close proximity, so it's best suited for intimate settings where you want to feel enveloped by its warmth.
