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

Eu AMO esse perfume, é a minha assinatura sem dúvidas e me rende muitos elogios. É completamente unissex e o coco não vem de uma fragrância sintética ou doce demais, diferente do coconut passion da VS, é um coco verde super natural e confortável. É praiano mas se diferencia de outros perfumes com a mesma premissa por não ser muito intenso (é bom pro dia a dia pq nao chega poluindo o ambiente) e, infelizmente, pela baixíssima durabilidade. Meu amor por esse perfume é tão verdadeiro que eu comecei a usar o aromatizador de ambiente nas minhas roupas pra o cheiro durar muito, funcionou😛

This is a very pleasant fragrance, opening slightly citrus and warm, but after about 10min it completely transitioned to a transparent coconut, solar and marine bouquet. It keep evolving from non-creamy to creamy during the dry down, probably from the cashmere/musk base. I love using it during autumn and winter days because it brings me joie de vivre, but during particularly hot summer days I avoid using it. It reminds me perfectly a pleasant summer day drinking coconut water in the Leblon's beach.

Wonderful! Reminds me a lot of Soleil Blanc and Virgin Island Water, but leans more toward the latter, which I consider the better of the two. The Tom Ford is slightly more harsh, but I still enjoy it for the fun sun lotion vibe. Like the Creed, Bossa is less like sun lotion, but still wonderfully tropical and summery, and very nicely balanced. Fantastic value considering it's half the price of those two but at least their equal in quality. My new poolside go-to, a perfect vacation fragrance.

Logo ao provar esse perfume você já pode sentir as notas do mar, você se sente em uma praia enquanto está sentando tomando uma limonada. Esse perfume trás um refresco inexplicável e com a evolução na pele você consegue sentir algumas notas de flores mas o mar continua presente junto com um leve cheiro de limão que agora se mistura com a laranja. Imagine que você está em uma praia na costa brasileira em algum estado do nordeste enquanto apenas vê as ondas quebrando.

This fragrance is a beautiful reminder of my childhood memories in Rio. The scent perfectly captures the essence of my beach days, and for that reason, I will continue to repurchase this perfume. While it's true that the longevity of the fragrance could be improved, the sentimental value it holds for me far outweighs this downside. I highly recommend this perfume to anyone who wants to be transported to the sunny beaches of Brazil with just one spritz.

Wonderful and welcoming. This is the best way to define this one. It opens slightly citrus and after a few minutes a delicious coconut takes over the fragrance. After a few hours we start to feel an aquatic/salty background, but the coconut remains there throughout the evolution surrounded by a light floral touch. A passionate perfume. Totally unisex and performing well like a good eau de toilette. The easiest and most accurate blind you can have.

Esse perfume é incrível, Versatilidade pra dias de muito calor e também pra diaa chuvosos mais amenos, aquele 20°C chuvoso e até para noites de verão, ele fixa muito nas roupas e também no cabelo, pro verão do Brasil que são algins dias muito quentes e outros muito chuvosos ele vira o perfume assinatura do verão, a nota de coco é incrível ele se torna um perfume cremoso e limpo, qualidade gigantesca

Meu perfume favorito, sem dúvidas. Ele é fresco mas é intimista, ele tem um doce, porém oque predomina é o coco, mas não aquele coco que acabou de sair do pé, é mais pra um leite de coco, por conta das notas lactonicas dele. Ele fixa muito bem na minha pele e projeta muito, sempre recebo elogios com ele, Muito elegante, agradável e se vc está pensando em adquirir, recomendo que o faça

Se tornou meu perfume favorito. Assim que espirrei no meu pulso, senti o cheiro de coco de primeira, depois de limão. Quando eu passei no pescoço e nas outras áreas onde costumo usar, senti o cheiro de limão primeiro, quando assenta, fica um cheiro confortável, cheiro de gente limpa, gostosa, que dá vontade de abraçar bem forte.

It’s really Soleil Blanc on a budget! Something as an EDT for it, i should say. I’m really into the summery, SPF-y vibes of it, and the brand nailed the packaging and the motif, as usual. Love it for sunny days!! Totally work friendly and captures the essence of Rio de Janeiro. Amo demais!!

I had to buy a whole bottle cause love Bossa so so sooo much!! It has a sunscreen-like coconut wich reminds me a lot of soleil blanc by Tom Ford. It smells so expensive and clean, like you’re the richest woman at the beach or in your beach mansion balcony.

Para mim, o cítrico é apenas para dar uma balanceada na fragrância. A grande estrela é o coco que traz uma leveza para o perfume. Ótimo para o verão e para dia-a-dia, mas não de uma maneira energética, mas, sim, de uma forma suave, serena e intimista.

This is my first from Khadlaj, but I’m really impressed. It is very nicely balanced, perfect blend between melon and coconut. It is not super sweet and somewhat aquatic at the same time. Considering that I got it for less than 30 EUR, it is amazing!

I've had it for a few months, blind bought it as a substitute for the ridiculously overpriced Soleil blanc which I love. Do not regret it. 80-90% similarity. Definitely safe blind buy if you like the TF. Not bad longevity IMO.

incrível perfume provei na loja e já quero ter um frasco pra mim, por algum motivo a abertura me lembra muito aquelas balinhas de goma de limão, delicioso
