Carioca Crush

If you live near an HEB, you need to smell the pomegranate spray sun screen. This body mist is the closest thing I've ever smelled to that sunscreen. Of course it's pear and not pomegranate, but the JUICY fruit ness is light, playful, with just that little bit of wood and musk. I want to swim in this scent all summer long. SDJ please please please make this permanent and release a body wash too, because 🤩🤩🤩 I hope it becomes permanent, because it's sold out right now and I would have to stock upppppp if they don't just make it permanent. The fruit dries really fast but the musky woods linger for a while. I like layering this with Arquiste Peau, which is also a really light woody musk. together the base notes last all day and I can still pick them out in the morning. It does lean a little juvenile, but I was searching for that. I wanted a fruit burst of joyful playful fruit to layer over my very serious perfumes. I'm ok that the longevity isn't crazy because I'd prefer to re apply a spritz throughout the day when I need a little pick me up : )

So fresh, juicy and vibrant 😍 At first I didn't think it was anything special but once it dried down I couldn't stop sniffing my arm. The litchi and pear are definitely the heavy hitters here but then the floral and woody notes peak through more in the dry down and *that* is what sealed the deal for me. The pink violet, cedar and musk add more complexity to the fruits – giving it a more genuine perfume-y quality and makes it smell a bit more exotic and pretty. I can see why some are comparing this to God Is A Woman and Versace Dylan Purple but Carioca Crush is miles better than both imo. It basically smells like a perfumed version of a lollipop or fruit punch. Hopefully they bring this scent back and make it permanent in the future because it's quickly become my other favorite SDJ scent besides 40.

I know I said that I would be ok with Carioca crush not becoming a permanent scent, but I want to change my mind and say that I love every single body mist from this years summer collection, especially after having them sit for a while. I honestly can’t decide which I like more. Each one of them has served a different vibe for me this summer and I just went back and sniffed all of them again and now I have a memory attached to each one. There was always one from their limited editions that I wasn’t impressed with, but I found a use for each one from this years launch. I’ll be happy to see any of them come back as permanent and sad to see two of them leave us. I hope by some miracle they decide to keep all of them, but I think I’m pushing my luck 🥲 This was the most fun summer launch of 2024

I wasn’t expecting to like this as much as I do, I bought it because it was on offer. I expected this to be less sweet than Beijos De Sol, but it’s much sweeter. Is it unique? Definitely not, but it’s very pleasant. If you like fruity scents and you’re put off by the floral description of this, give it a try because the fruit is the main star of this fragrance. It has a summer berry juice sort of fragrance, that’s the best way I can describe this. It’s kind of juvenile and if you didn’t know it was SDJ you’d probably guess that it’s a Bath and Body Works fragrance, that’s not to say it’s not nice, it’s just what you would expect from a fruity body spray. Not my favourite SDJ release but it’s pleasant all the same and I’m glad I got one.

Surprisingly, this is my favorite from the new 2024 summer collection. Carioca Crush will likely be the best-seller of the line. It's a juicy and fruity body mist that can be easily worn during daytime all year round. The fragrance opens with a beautiful, candied pear note. Following that, I mainly detect violet and a soft musk/white cedar accord. The lychee and praline notes are very subtle to my nose. As many others have noted, Carioca Crush is very similar to Ariana Grande's God is a Woman, though less floral. The pear note in Carioca Crush is sweeter, while in God is a Woman it's more prominent and raw. I finished my bottle so quickly !

Yes, it does smell like radiant nectar, Versace purple, etc. BUT in the dry down you know what it smells like? Moonlight path. And britney spears curious. Really delicious. Lasts a while. They need to bring this back. In the beginning it is sparkling and tart. Sooo juicy. It's sweet but it's refreshing. It lasts forever too. It's really the best one of this release and it's a shame they discontinued it. It literally makes my mouth water. And the dry down is calming. Like a relaxing bubble bath scent. So good. Sorry to say I don't get cloud DNA in this at all. But they would probably layer nicely.

Oooo! Very fruity pear and lychee with just a hint of violet and praline. It opens like Dylan purple, but doesn’t stay that way. Doesn’t remind me of GIAW, radiant nectar, or any of those. Just a happy, sexy, fruity scent with a slight gourmand edge. Another winner! I’ve smelled 2 of the 3 so far, and really like them both. We’re going 3 for 3! Hope Summer e Amor is just as good. Edit: I lied, now that I’ve worn it, it DEFINITELY smells like GIAW 😂 but not an EXACT dupe. I gotta say tho? LAYER THIS with EDEN JUICY APPLE! They go INCREDIBLE together ♥️

I didn't expect this to be my favourite out of the three but I think it is. It opens with a juicy pear note and in the dry down you can smell the violet and woody notes. I had to think so hard about what it reminds me of, but then I remembered that it's Dylan Purple. Then I came here and saw that other people also think so. I'm happy for that because I like Dylan Purple, I'm just not sure I would buy a full bottle of it. So this is a nice alternative. I can also imagine they would be good layered together.

My 2nd favorite from the summer mists. Very fruity and juicy, and actually has depth in the dry down. I was surprised by this one honestly. It’s kind of the little sister to 40, without the vanilla and with a lot more brightness. I just think that there are so many dupes to this one though. I wouldn’t be sad if I never saw this as a permanent release from the brand.. just get Dylan purple. its literally the exact same scent.

When i heard it had Litchi notes.... I had to buy. 😍And i din't regret it, definitely SDJ's best limited edition. So fun, light and summery i hope they bring it back to make it permanent like they did with bikini season. Honestly this smells like a better version of 68.It just has that kick which 68 lacks🫤 Anyways i will make sure to enjoy this scent slowly, praying it becomes permanent. ❤️

This is such a pretty fragrance and honestly one of my personal favs from sol de Janeiro. It smells like a sweet pear juice with rock sugar if that makes sense it’s definitely the epitome of summer time. The best part about it is that it’s not an immature fragrance because a lot of fruity perfume smell very childish but this one doesn’t. Bottle design is also a 10/10 adore the red

I ended up loving all 3 of the releases this year, although this one is my favorite! It's sweet, fruity, woody, bright, and airy. It lasts a couple of hours on the skin, you definitely have to reapply but it's one of those scents where you keep getting pleasant little whifs of it. I ended up grabbing a backup. SDJ can do no wrong in my eyes, all of their mists are great!😍

The scent is delicious, I love it, but I wish I hadn't bought it. It is so not worth it. You need to re-spray constantly or it will fade in minutes. Do yourself a favor and just buy Signorina Libera. It is almost identical, unsurprisingly, since it is also created by Jérôme Epinette, but with better longevity and also very affordable.

This is a dupe for Jacobs Perfect on the dry down but it also kinda smells like Eden Juicy Apple 🍎 I think there's definitely a hidden apple or rubbarb note You should get it 9/10 I hope this one comes back with a bodycream and bodywash

Most of sol de ja neiros fragrances work in all seasons- most houses fragrances only work in certain seasons and temps- this is another that works year round- smells delicious, especially when the wind catches it.

This one is my favorite of the three. It's juicy, sweet, basic and that's okay. Perfumes like this are so fun and enjoyable to wear. Edit: If you get a chance get the EOS Pink Champagne it smells just like this!

This is hands down my favorite SDJ fragrance, I hope they bring it back someday. For all the girlies who love this masterpiece too, I’ve found a pretty close dupe. Layer SDJ 59 with Dylan Purple.🍐💜

Wow! What a wonderfully bubbly delicious happy scent this is! The juicy Pear together with litchi are so candy-like and the praline is mouthwatering! And I am In love!

My favorite of all SDJ mists. Sweet pear and lychee. Similar but sweeter than Ariana Grande’s God is a Woman, less pear heavy than BBW Emerald Mist.

red gummy bears i will ration my bottle carefully because i adore this scent so much
