Cheirosa '71 Sol de Janeiro 2020

As a young woman, it's hard to escape the brand "Sol de Janeiro". Previously, it was the "Victoria's Secret" Body Mists, which were praised to the skies on all platforms - nowadays it is this brand.

I must admit, "Brazilian Crush Cheirosa '62 | Sol de Janeiro" I own for quite some time and I like the fragrance very much. Therefore, I was now overcome by the urge to blindly order and test the other fragrances. No sooner said than done.

"71" is the fragrance with which I have done the hardest. Probably also because it is the sweetest and strongest fragrance of the entire line.

The first impression after a spray on the skin: Phew, that's too much of a good thing. Probably a feast for gourmand lovers. Extremely sweet, edible... freshly baked cookies with lots of caramel. Sticky. Intense.

I put it away.

A few days ago, the weather was a little more pleasant. Less warm, rainy and windy. Therefore, I decided to give him another chance and sprayed him this time simply on the clothes. I like the scent tail much better than the concentrated scent on the skin. It is very warm, sweet, somehow reminiscent of Christmas time. Caramel chocolate cookies, fresh from the oven. I must confess: for such a fragrance I have to be in the mood. Gourmand is a direction I like, but rather in conjunction with floral or woody notes, so you do not smell hair like a cake, but perfumed.
Still, I'm sure I'll wear it more often in the fall/winter, especially around Christmas. I imagine him also good as a "home fragrance" for cold days spent snuggled up with a book.

The durability is more reminiscent of an eau de toilette. Especially on the clothes I smell him even the next day.
