The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019, Cheirosa '39 by Sol de Janeiro is a fragrance that celebrates the iconic Brazilian star Carmen Miranda and her enduring legacy. Perfumer Jérôme Epinette captures the essence of Carmen's charm with a composition that opens with the creamy richness of coconut, leading into the sweet warmth of vanilla and orchid. The base notes of praline and sandalwood add a comforting, nutty depth that evokes the powdery tropics. This fragrance is not just a scent but a tribute to the vibrant energy and cultural impact of Carmen Miranda.
Apply this fragrance directly to pulse points for a warm and enveloping effect. The coconut and vanilla notes are most prominent initially but give way to the nutty praline base over time. Best suited for evenings or cooler days when you want a comforting yet alluring scent.
