Bossa

this is a hyperrealistic representation of a beachday. It opens with fresh citrus and petit grain, giving it that slightly bitter cologne vibe. then it warms up on my skin into a creamier, slightly lactonic (like lotion) and floral citrusscent. It has a warm sweetness that's almost a little bit vanillic, I'm guessing it's the frangipani and coconut mix. Then, salty notes blend in with the creamy, floral and citrus notes creating a scent that resembles seawater that dried on skin in the sun and a subtle suncream scent, although the freshness of the citrus remains present the whole time. Overall, the scent smells very high quality and natural, like salty skin, sunlotion and floral lemony goodness! I expected it to be less heavy on the flowers though and a bit more creamy/coconutty. Also, the projection is moderate and it will fade into a skinscent after about 2 hours (although it lasts forever on clothes), but my god, for the price the quality is amazing!

citrusy, dirty musk with a hint of coconut moisturizer for brutal heat. it smells like a hot summer eventide in Brazil, bought it on the hotest week of the year and will keep wearing it during this for spring and summer, great performance for a summer EDT, with a bit-above-moderate projection in the first hour and easily reaching 6-6,5 hours on me. very progressive drydown, opening smells like peeling a mandarin orange with your hands, some 15-20 minutes after you get the coconut moisturizer vibe growing strong within it, followed by a salty and musky drydown. very unissex, although feminine for the average brazilian consumer's taste. absolute steal for its retail price of 136 reais (2023)

picture this: you're on the beach, it's a hot day; not unbearably so, but just enough that you feel the heat and your skin is clammy, and as much as you want to just go splash around in the sea, you're drinking a really nice caipirinha, or maybe it's coconut water. a gentle wind cools you, and you think that if you could, you'd stay forever. this is bossa, to me. perhaps the only scent that's ever made me feel like this, made me picture something so vivid and so comforting. surprisingly long lasting (it's been 10 hours since i sprayed it and i can still faintly smell it on my wrists) and just so, so delicious and comfortable. lovely, lovely. instant favorite.

My God!! When I smelled it for the first time I KNEW I’d get addicted to it. It’s a fancy, delicate, smooth citrus with a small hint of coconut. The sea notes here open up the fragrance, giving it an airy feeling, and the flowers give it a punch of a lazy sunday morning (not the MM perfume) in a beach during a scalding hot summer! It’s lovely, really. Can’t believe it costs only 160BRLs (around 30 dollars). This is INCREDIBLE, especially if you’re going to the beach. Oh, and I must say: there’s a hint of something like the sugary citruses used in Bvlgari Wood Essence. I do think this one’s better, though, as there’s only a small resemblance.

Esse perfume tem exatamente o cheiro que você espera ao ver o frasco, e isso é muito satisfatório! Falaram que lembra o Soleil Blanc e eu super discordo. Apesar de ambos terem essa vibe de praia e coco, Bossa tem muito mais personalidade e frescor. O coco aqui é menos doce e mais leitoso, o floral equilibra super bem com o cítrico e nenhuma parte do desenvolvimento do perfume fica sem graça. Se tem um perfume compartilhável de verdade, é este aqui. Criação incrível, cheiro de passeio de verão nas férias, amo! Pena só que dura menos do que eu queria, mas faz parte do que a pirâmide olfativa pode nos entregar de fixação
