Sol de Janeiro Hair & Body Fragrance Mist 62 Review

If you’ve ever dreamed of bottling up that warm, sun-kissed, beachy vibe, Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Hair & Body Fragrance Mist promises exactly that. With its iconic sweet scent of pistachio and salted caramel, this mist has taken social media by storm. But is it truly worth the hype? After using it daily and checking out what other fragrance lovers think, here’s my honest review!

📦 Packaging

Sol de Janeiro knows how to catch your eye. The bright yellow bottle screams tropical vacation and happiness. I love that it comes in two sizes — the full-size for my vanity and the travel-size that fits perfectly in my bag. The spray nozzle is a winner too; it delivers a fine, even mist every time, so I never feel like I’m drenching myself. After weeks of tossing it in my purse, I can say the packaging holds up well — no leaks, no cracks!

💨 Notes About Application

Spritzing this mist feels like an instant mood boost. I usually spray it on my wrists, neck, and a bit through my hair for that all-over glow of scent. A little goes a long way—trust me! The first time I got a bit too enthusiastic, and my coworker could smell me from across the room. Lesson learned: 2-3 sprays max is the sweet spot.

Some days, I layer it over an unscented lotion, and it really helps the scent stick around longer. I’ve also tried pairing it with vanilla-based perfumes, and they blend beautifully.

🧴 Formula and Texture

Since it’s a hair and body mist, I was a bit worried it might feel sticky or heavy. Thankfully, the formula is lightweight and fast-drying. It doesn’t leave any residue on my skin or weigh down my hair, which is a huge plus.

The signature scent? It’s a gourmand dream—warm pistachio, sweet caramel, and creamy vanilla. For me, it smells like summer in a bottle. But I get that it might be too sweet for some noses. A few friends said it reminded them of a dessert shop, which honestly, I don’t mind!

👃 Scent, Sustainability & Safety

• Scent: Strong, sweet, warm, and tropical. Definitely noticeable!
• Is it Fragrance-Free? No, this is all about fragrance—so if you avoid scented products, this isn’t for you.
• Dermatologist-Tested? It’s safe for both hair and body, but not specifically labeled as dermatologist-tested.
• Vegan? Yes, Sol de Janeiro is known for being cruelty-free and many of their products, including this mist, are vegan.

If you love bold, sweet scents and prefer vegan beauty products, this checks the box. But sensitive noses, beware—it’s definitely not subtle.

⏳ Performance

Here’s where opinions split. On me, the scent lasts about 4-5 hours, especially when sprayed on clothes or layered with lotion. It fades into a soft, cozy sweetness by the end of the day.

But it’s still a body mist, not a perfume—so don’t expect all-day projection without reapplying. I carry the travel size for a quick refresh in the afternoon.

When I use it in my hair, I get little scent whiffs throughout the day, which I love! It doesn’t dry out my hair either, which is always a concern with scented sprays.

⚠️ Drawbacks

While I adore this mist, it’s not perfect. The scent can be overpowering if you’re heavy-handed. Some people describe it as too synthetic or “young-smelling.” If you prefer fresh or floral scents, this sweet, dessert-like vibe might not be for you.

Also, for the price, some users feel the longevity doesn’t match up—you’ll likely need to reapply if you’re out all day.

⭐ Overall

The Sol de Janeiro Hair & Body Fragrance Mist 62 is like a tropical vacation in a bottle. If you’re into warm, sweet, beachy scents and don’t mind reapplying, it’s a fun, feel-good addition to your routine. I reach for it whenever I want to feel like I’m on holiday—even if I’m just heading to the office.

But if you’re sensitive to strong scents or want something long-lasting like a perfume, you might want to sample it first.

🔥 Rating: 8/10

Why 8?
It smells amazing, applies beautifully, and gives major summer vibes—but it loses points for being a bit too strong for some and needing reapplication throughout the day.
