Gen Z loves Sol de Janeiro — so I tried 6 of the brand's most popular fragrances and ranked them from worst to best

Gen Z loves $39 perfume mists from Sol de Janeiro the same way millennials loved scents from Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works.

I recently sampled six popular fragrance mists from Sol de Janeiro, a brand that has taken the beauty industry by storm with a 31.6% share of sales. The most underrated of the six, in my opinion, was Cheirosa 71, which I found to be more reminiscent of holiday hand sanitizer than a sophisticated scent. Cheirosa 62, however, was one of the most famous and beloved scents, despite not being my personal favorite.

Its summer-inspired notes of pistachio, jasmine, and sandalwood made it perfect for the warmer months, but less suitable for the colder seasons.

The Cheirosa 39 mist stood out to me with its beachy, coconut and vanilla notes that transported me to a tropical paradise. The Cheirosa 68 scent, inspired by Brazil's Tropicália Movement of 1968, offered a sweet, sunny, and refreshing aroma with hints of dragonfruit, lychee essence, and hibiscus, making it ideal for warmer weather or a night out with friends.

Lastly, the Cheirosa 40 fragrance, inspired by the sultry and delicate Carnaval Ball in Rio, reminded me of my favorite scent from Victoria's Secret, with notes of black amber plum and crème de cassis. Overall, I enjoyed exploring the diverse range of scents offered by Sol de Janeiro's popular fragrance mist collection.
