Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa Hair & Body Mist

See price on Amazon

The Brazilian Bum Bum scent in a mist — the fragrance people stop you on the street to ask about.

Why we picked it

  • Cult Cheirosa scent
  • Hair + body safe
  • The compliment-magnet mist

Our verdict

Buy it if you want the warm, sweet "Bum Bum cream in spray form" scent that tends to pull compliments, and you're fine with a mist that's more about a cozy, refreshable vibe than all-day staying power. It's the easy pick for a playful, crowd-pleasing scent rather than a serious signature perfume.

What we like

  • The signature accord (warm vanilla and salted-caramel sweetness, often described with pistachio) reads approachable and tends to draw compliments rather than feeling heavy
  • Made for hair and body, so you can refresh on the go without the sharp alcohol bite of a strong eau de parfum
  • Light and easy to layer over the matching body cream or under another scent
  • Mist format is forgiving to apply and hard to overdo, so reapplying through the day is simple

Worth knowing

  • Longevity is modest; it's a mist, not a concentrated perfume, so expect to top up every few hours
  • The sweet gourmand profile is polarizing and can read young or dessert-like to anyone who prefers fresh, citrus, or woody scents
  • A mist is less concentrated than a perfume, so you'll spray more and go through the bottle faster

Who it's for: Anyone who loves warm, sweet gourmand scents and wants a fun, low-commitment fragrance to spritz on hair and body without much fuss.

Who should skip it: Skip it if you want all-day longevity or prefer fresh, citrus, woody, or more grown-up scents; a concentrated eau de parfum will serve you better.

Frequently asked

How long does the scent actually last?

Treat it as a refreshing mist, not a perfume. Most people get a few hours of noticeable wear before it settles into a soft skin scent, and it often clings a little longer in hair than on skin. Keeping the bottle handy for a midday top-up is the norm.

Is it the same scent as the Bum Bum body cream?

It's built around the same popular Cheirosa accord, so the family is the same. The mist is lighter and easy to wear on its own, while the cream is richer and tends to last longer. Layering the two is the classic move if you want it to stick around.

Can I spray it in my hair?

It's made to be used on hair and body, which is a big part of the appeal. Like most fragrance sprays it does contain alcohol, so a light spritz over the lengths is plenty rather than soaking it daily, especially if your hair runs dry.
