Cheirosa '40

Sweet, fruity, vanilla, powdery, warm, woody, musky, floral, soft spicy, feminine, sensual, flirty, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, tempting, addictive, inviting, cozy, comforting On me this opens with sweet and juicy plum, and warm amber. The dry down envelopes the top notes in powdery vanilla, sensual woodsy notes, and soft musk. The plum, amber, vanilla, and woodsy notes are the most prominent on me. This is a very easy reach during the fall and winter. It’s suitable for most occasions including work and/or school, but you might want something else for fancy occasions. This is extremely similar to The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods. Since I own both, I sprayed VW in one wrist, and 40 on the other. Here’s how they compare: VW is slightly less fruity, although the pear note is surprisingly similar to the plum note in 40. VW also has a prominent caramel note, and the amber note comes across as somewhat balsamic. 40 comes across as a little more sharp, especially in the opening, and has a more woody dry down. If I had to choose between them, I’d go with Vanilla Woods. Overall, they’re so similar that if you’d want a perfume version of 40, this would be it. I’m a huge fan of SDJ scents! I have all except the 2 newest ones in the permanent line, and most of the LE ones as well. My top 5 faves are Summer é Amor, 62, 39, 40, and 59. My least favorite is 68. For reference, some of my other favorite vanillas include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, The Wedding Silk Santal, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Yum Pistachio Gelato, GdT Celeste, PdM Oriana, Kilian LDBS, Princess, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Black Opium Glitter, Libre Vanille Couture, D&G The One Desire, The Only One Intense, JPG Classique, Classique Pin Up, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, VS Vanilla Lace, BBW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Fireside Flurries, Bonfire Bash, Whipped Honey & Vanilla

No doubt one of the most beautiful perfumes i’ve tried PERIOD. Gosh where do i even start, if you smell it immediately after first spray like usual it may appear alcholic, after you wave your wrists though it’s a sugary sweet dark berry ambergris opening with jasmine (not a fan of ambergris but tolerable and faint here). But as a couple of hours pass you’ll realize it turns into the most creamy delicious vanilla skin scent i’ve smelled and can’t give enough of it!! I will say this perfume definitely gets better the longer it sits on your skin and as the middle and base notes start peaking through, i never thought to buy it in store but my friend bought me the set for my bday (i asked for 62 and was so thankful they didn’t have it) and then i realized it’s one of the best fragrances ever! I will say the matching sdj lotion is actually very ambergris heavy at first which can be a bit much for me but as the lotion sits it gets better, not as worth the perfume tho. So for layering I use either palmers vanilla lotion or EOS strawberry/ vanilla/ champagne lotion, then i go in with golden sands perfume oil, and let me tell you it’s a SHMUPE, but without the ambergris and more caramel yet mature, so cheap too (don’t bother with vanilla woods it smells like my cigarette auntie)! Finally i top it off with valentino DBR (or kayali 28) but ive heard mod vanillas amazing and ive been needing to try!

Might be an unpopular opinion, but this is probably my favorite SDJ scent. It's just nice and soft, juicy and sweet. Nothing groundbreaking, but inoffensive and pleasant. To me what shines are the plum, vanilla, and musk. There's something grounding it so it's not cloying; I think in that regard what I'm getting is a little bit of the jasmine and woods. On the downside, it's pretty weak and my bottle that's about a year old has lost its intensity and smells almost completely like alcohol. Initially I was very confused with the comparisons to 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods and Ariana Grande Mod Vanilla, but I see what people are talking about now. I kind of like Vanilla Woods, but that one is less sweet and not really fruity. Mod Vanilla has a similar note with the plum, but is incredibly synthetic and cloying IMO. Not that Cheirosa 40 isn't synthetic, but Mod Vanilla I unfortunately just find to be sickening. ETA: My small bottle of this smells purely of alcohol now, so I got a new 8oz bottle. It barely has ANY scent at all... I don't know if this is how 40 has always smelled and my sense of has changed or if my bottle is bad, but regardless I don't think I can call this my favorite anymore :(

Get ready to be the BEST smelling in the room! ✨ Run don't walk especially if you like warm vanilla or gourmand scents in general but WARNING ⚠️ you’re going to be complimented like crazy! When I tell you this is their BEST fragrance ever OMGGGG (in my humble opinion). And I don’t smell the bitterness or vinegar that some are picking up so you’ll just have to try it to see. I’ve also found when paired with the lotion, it lasts as long as I’d expect it to on me and I feel you can wear it year-round, day-to-night! I literally can't stop smelling myself and it makes me sooooo happy when I have this on! Quick Tip & Trick for longevity: Spray directly onto your paddle brush 2-3 times and allow it to dry down just a tad, then brush through your hair. Your scent trail will be 10x better - thank me later! Other scents that have a similar vibe are: BBW Bonfire Bash & Victoria’s Secret Forbidden Vanilla. Both are discontinued FYI but you may find via resellers. On another note, I hope Sol De Janerio makes this into an Eau de Parfum - if they do I'm getting it ASAP! 😭 I can see it now... SOL Cheirosa ‘40 Eau de Parfum | The Scent of Seduction anyway, a girl can dream lol

Oh this is SO-GOOD! I got it as a recommendation from a Dolce Gabbana expert at a Sephora, and it was so ON POINT for someone who loves D&G Pour Femme as much as I do! He saw me getting a full bottle of Pour Femme (AND for the second time too!) and said "you might like this too". But also suggested I get the mini version to try, in case I'm not ready to invest in the bigger bottle. I loved this SO MUCH, I went back in a month and purchased the gigantic bigger bottle. It might become an all time stable! It smells like an amazing combination of ripe and classy plums, with boozy and woody vanilla. It's not a generic body spray smell. I usually don't use body sprays as I don't like the very elusive nature of them, but this, I'm happy to make an exception. Love the convenience of the smaller bottle too. Definitely a must for those who like plum and vanilla, AND in a classy way. Been using this for almost 2 months at this point. I - LOVE IT!

Ignited my love for a plum scent. The longest lasting mist I’ve smelled ever, I don’t think their other mists are that long lasting (to be fair I haven’t purchased those only this). Now, I know people have different body chemistry to fragrances but as someone who rarely gets that good chemistry with MISTS, this is my one and only (alongside tree hut Moroccan rose). So for a mist in my opinion this IS above average and worth the money but always smell testers first of course. I think it’s perfect for all year round but the scent gives more summer or fall essence. I’m not big on heavily fruity smells BUT this plum paired with the black amber note will promise a succulent scent that I’m now obsessed with. Amazing for a long lasting mist, that can layer amazingly (alongside their #40 cream as well)!

I love this scent so much, it might be tied between this and 59 as my favorite sdj scents. it’s so sweet and yummy but there’s a musky darkness in it that i love so much. I’ve found that the lotion leans a lot more vanilla than the spray imo, i think the spray is really heavy on the fruity and doesn’t give vanilla much until the dry down. I have a small bottle of this rn but after I run out I hope to get the biggie full size one :-) I will say that i don’t really agree that this smells like mod vanilla, but it DEFINITELY smells just like the 7 virtues vanilla woods I do wish that the longevity was better on all sdj sprays, especially for the price. they aren’t even really comparable to similarly priced body sprays like phlur or lush.

For me, this is all plum and vanilla — but I love it! I’m sure I would also love to pick up some of that musk as well but I really only get those two notes. I have this scent in a body scrub, wash, and lotion and I find that if I layer all of them together the scent lasts for DAYS. Yes, plural. I will spray this in the bedroom and my boyfriend will comment on how good it smells from the next room over. I think the sillage and longevity are both pretty good. It’s definitely not for some, it’s very sweet (almost too sweet for me but that plum is doing a lot of heavy lifting because I love fruity notes). I always get compliments when I wear this, and I often smell it on others in public when they pass me.

this is one of my favourite scents ever. it's sweet, fruity and also extremely nostalgic for me. this performs better than most body mists, lasting about 3 hours on my during the summer (which is when i wear it usually, but can work in other seasons as well because of the sweetness!!) but, if you combine it with the matching body lotion and shower gel you'll get a few more hours (about 5 id say) i don't know if ill repurchase a full size quite yet (i got this in a set), but this perfume def sparked my love for plum notes in my future perfumes!! edit: after 2 years of owning this, i still haven't found a better plum perfume. this stays undefeated and now just bought a full size bottle for xmas x

#40 is absolutely delicious on my skin. it smells just like a sweet, playful cherry-candy and i am SHOCKED there is no mention of sweet cherry in the notes. very teenage and youthful. unfortunately, the full-size bottle i had was stolen, but i'd had it for almost three years and it was still half-full. for $40, that's unbelievable. it's easily recognizable and makes a great signature. amazing sillage for a body spray; i originally heard about it from a girl who i could smell it on from across the room. it was so sweet, but not cloyingly so, and holds up incredibly well in the heat. i would also reccommend, as with any fragrance, buying secondhand. it'll save you a lot of money and trouble.

Wonderful fruity vanilla scent! All the notes smell balanced and none overpower the other, although i would say the vanilla is more prominent. it’s not overly tropical, but it’s definitely more of a summer/spring scent to me. it’s not “clean”, but it’s not musky enough to be a winter scent for me. But it definitely has musk. The florals are a gentle sort of sweet, the vanilla isn’t cloying, and the plum gives it a subtle fruity feeling. very fun for summer especially. cassis has never smelled like cat piss to me, and a dupe of a perfume i love has cassis leaves in it too, so honestly if you don’t like that note then this scent might smell awful to you.

It was my first SDJ mist I bought so it holds a special place in my heart. The notes are black amber plum & vanilla woods. It’s a cozy yet fruity scent that somehow makes me feel nostalgic in some way. It just reminds me of sunny warm mornings in the summer, drinking an iced coffee at the cafe, reading a book, and there’s flowers surrounding you while you doze off into your own world. I may add that it’s a little strong on initial spray. I feel like this one lasts longer than 62, but I would still absolutely love a perfume version of this. I really do need to try the bom dia bright cream as well. It’s a unique scent that is great for holidays.

At one point I truly believed that this was the best scent ever created. I’ve since moved on, but honestly not completely, because I’ve realized that I always must have a bottle of this in my house at all times. It’s too good to not be a permanent staple in my collection. I don’t always reach for it anymore, but when I feel like a fresh, fun, sexy scent, I spray this like a dozen times on myself. To me it’s sweet vanilla sugary fruity goodness. It smells fresh and flirty. If I could nominate this as one of the best scent profiles ever created I probably would. It’s unique, I almost find it even hard to fully describe. But it’s just soooo good.

By far my favorite SDJ scent. It's light and airy but has just the right amount of sweetness that makes it very feminine and likable. The fragrance opens up with a sweet and uplifting plum note while wood and vanilla in the base give it a very smooth and sweet dry down. It is also very versatile and is suitable for any season and any time of day. My only complaint is that it barely lasts an hour on my skin. If it lasted longer I would stop the search for my new signature scent but my skin chemistry had other plans. However, if I need something light to spray on after my shower or in the morning for an early class, this is still my go to.

out of the most popular sdj sprays i would say this one has the most abstract, can’t go wrong kinda smell. most of the other ones have very specific scents; 62 is great at first but gets kinda old + too nutty and is very easy to identify on anyone, 68 has that whole baccarat rouge scent profile that’s been replicated so many times at this point, 71 = caramel popcorn, out of those 4 at least, this one is the most versatile and easy to layer as a body spray with other scents. it has an overall friendly fruity scent with a little more depth to it than some of the others. the body wash in this scent is also incredible.

well after about 6 months of owning this, it is not only my favorite SDJ fragrance, but it is my signature scent. this is my every day fragrance. I wear it alone to work, and layer it with whatever else when I’m not at work. it’s just so perfect, it’s the perfect amount of sweet and not too overpowering. it reminds me of a piña colada slurpee, even though there are no piña colada notes in this. sandwiching it between victoria secret’s vanilla dream lotion & ariana grande’s mod vanilla perfume will assist the longevity, while I patiently and delusionally wait for SDJ to release an eau de parfum of this fragrance.

I generally don’t have high expectations of body mists. I pick them up occasionally to carry in my purse and use them to touch up when I’m out of the house. That’s exactly why I originally bought this body mist, back in 2021. It instantly became a staple for me. It definitely doesn’t perform as strong as a perfume, but it performs considerably well for the price point. This is a warm, enchanting, powdery, woodsy, plum fragrance. I think it wears on the skin well and easily layers with other scents. I’d definitely recommend picking this up if you are a fan of sweet, powdery scents.

Why why WHY won't they make this beautiful fragrance into a concentrated eau de parfum???? They only have cheirosa as a perfume...is the company too broke??? Sttes came out with a perfume and it is not exact and leans more black licorice. Dama Bianca and Junoon Noir are close but leans more vanilla powder. Mod Vanilla and Cotton Abyed are the closest dupes but they both have that BR540 DNA mixed in that Cheirosa 40 does not have. I just want a spot on perfume and I feel like the only one who can create that is the company makes Cheirosa 40, SDJ GET ON IT!!!!

This is a juicy plum scent with a base of woods and a hint of vanilla. It smells like a fruity tea, even though tea isn't a note listed on this. While this is a great springtime fragrance, it doesn't last very long (since it is a body mist) but for the price I would consider giving this one a sniff. Overall, I would consider this a pretty safe scent. However, sometimes it has that public restroom smell that a lot of people talk about as wear time increases. Definitely check if the dry down after many hours is compatible with your skin.

I actually like 71 more because I’m a gourmand whore, but 40 is rightfully loved by everyone and you can’t go wrong with it. Beautiful warm amber vanilla laced with slightly caramelized plum 🥹 suits both summer and winter perfectly, can be layered with practically anything, pretty good longevity, just the perfect near-universal body mist. If SDJ 40 has no fans left it means I’m dead. ( also does smell very similar to Mod Vanilla but sweeter and airier, with a stronger wood scent...? I like it more than Mod these days whoops)

I have other SDJs but this one is the smell I identify the most. It doesn’t have the longevity the others have but damn this smell is so good. I have other body mists but this one is the one I consistently repurchase and use it on a daily basis, even to the gym. It’s fruity and fresh. But yeah on first spray it’s smells a lot like alcohol. I bought everything they have on the line. The shower gel, the lotion, the perfume stick, deodorant, body scrub. I wish they could make an EDP of this like they did with 62

I don't have the original, but I do have the Dua Brand dupe, Vanilla Woods & Amber Plum. It is gorgeous. It starts out fruity and flirty; I can pick up the plum, but it's not dark and heavy. This was a good pick-me-up when I started the day. Later on, it seemed to grow up and become a sensual vanilla with a soft fruity musk in the background. Normally when I find a Dua Brand dupe that I like, I'll go and get the original. Since the original is a body mist and the dupe is a perfume, I'll keep the dupe.

My signature scent in summer. I've gotten multiple compliments from people hugging me about how good I smell when I wear this, and I love how I can smell it on myself all day. Longevity is very good for a body spray, even stronger than some of my perfumes. I didn't think of myself as someone who likes plum scents, but it's really strong with this one and I'm obsessed. Fruity, sweet, vanilla brings in some subtle warmth and depth. It's best in summer but could be worn year round.

My absolute favourite of the brand, it was at first 62 but NOW how did I even miss number 40. Literally the best, smells so comforting and fruity-fresh, its slightly warm, vanillay and the plum adds that fruity, sweet vibe. It's so yummy and I literally love the sillage of this one, fills the room at first, perfect for spring summer and lasts quite long. I own Mod vanilla too and 40 is way more fruity and less powdery, I still prefer SDJ tbh. Anyway, 40 is SO amazing !

An incredibly delicate and pleasant vanilla plum fragrance. Very sexy and mature while also being soft and sweet. My absolute favorite from the lineup. My ONLY 3 cons with this are: it has a harsh alcohol scent when you first spray it but it does go away. The longevity is terrible and honestly doesn’t even last 30 mins on me. And it does smell slightly synthetic and plasticky but nowhere near as synthetic as 68 smells. Overall a lovely scent and i would reccomend

smells really nice in my opinion. nothing CRAZY but i really like it, and my gf agrees (i bought it for her obviously). it is fruity with a little vanilla and musk in the back, at least to me. the projection isnt great but i dont think this is really supposed to be a performance beast lol. although, it lasts longer than i expect it to. but still, nothing crazy. i really really like it and i find myself smiling when i smell it :>

Obsessed is an understatement. I find myself always sniffing my shirt and this is all I want to smell like. Thank God it’s so affordable. I hope they make it into an edp but shoot it performs like one. Whoever thought about amber plum mixed with vanilla woods and musk is a freaking genius. Every time I put on another perfume I regret not putting this on instead. Just bought the biggest bottle a few minutes ago.

i absolutely love this smell. i love plum, i love amber, i love vanilla, i love that it's floral but also sweet and gourmand and also very honest. this is a perfect scent for when i want to feel more cozy and at-home and lived-in but also girly and small. definitely not an "impressive" scent so to speak and the longevity is... well. it's cheriosa. but if this were an edp or edt i would absolutely be buying it.

Oh this one is SO nice! Plum, woods and amber. Good day or night. It’s quite deep so I see it working best in fall or winter. Sexy and probably one of the more unique offerings from SDJ. Lasting power is great for a body mist, eternal on clothing and about 6h+ on skin. STTES has this in a perfume version for $19 that is pretty much identical, and longer lasting than the SDJ body mist.

I used this for my last year of college and the memories this scent evokes, I hold them dearly to my heart. I personally think this is a very youthful, fruity, vanilla scent that works in plenty of settings. It’s youthful but has a depth at the same time. It was my go-to and garnered compliments. I will definitely be repurchasing sometime.

I love this! Smells beautiful of sweet woody plums and vanilla. I think it's a sexy scent! It is my favorite of all the SdJ bodymists (along with 39). The only downside is that it's a body mist so the initial spray is a bit alcoholy and lasting power is not amazing. I want to try vanilla mod since people seem to think they are similar.

Smells like eau so sexy by victoria’s secret! So happy to find this. Eau so esexy was discontinued and i loved it so much. I got it in the form of a perfume stick when i was about 14 as a Christmas present. I loved it so much but it was discontinued within a few years of me discovering it. I loved this so much as i reminds me of it.

My favorite from the Sol De Janeiro collection. Smells like berry jam and some warm sugary treat. If a hug was a scent it would be this. Perfectly fruity and warm. Not for those who prefer a more “clean” scent, perfect for those who love sweet fruity notes and gourmand. So cozy and sweet and fruity love love love

This reminded me of AC Jewel Avri. I pair them together. SDJ has staying power on its own. But If you already own or love Cheirosa 40, Jewel Avri essentially acts as a higher-concentration Eau de Parfum version of that exact same sweet, fruity-vanilla profile — which gives it much better projection and longevity.

You can't go wrong with plummy vanilla. The musk drydown is borderline orgasmic—it's a damn shame it goes away within an hour or so. If they made 40 into an EDP like 62, I'd buy it without a moment's hesitation, though I think the bom dia cream is perfect for those of us who have to settle for the body mist lol

This is the best SDJ scent in my opinion. I do understand the comparison to vanilla woods from the 7 virtues. no40 is as if a dash of vanilla woods was added to deep, juicy plum juice. It’s honestly so easy to wear, maybe more so for summer to autumn, but definitely one of SDJ more versatile fragrances.

By far, this is the most beautiful scent in the SDJ line for me. It's relaxing,a bit fruity, and a bit refreshing to me. It smells like a bit of an ice tea to me in a good way. I bought it not that long ago and i'm not dissapointed by it. I only had SDJ 62 before and it wasn't almost as good as this.

This is my 2nd favorite scent from the SDJ brand. I adore it and it's one of my favorite plum fragrances. I am extremely pleased with European Perfumes (Southfield MI) version of it. It's a 1:1 to my nose. I ordered 3x strength from European Perfumes. EP's version of SDJ #40 lasted me over 8 hours

This is a lovely summer youthful scent. I don't smell the alcohol at all except the same second after I spray it. It's so expensive though! I can't wait to wear this in the warmer days, it's so refreshing and sweet. I usually don't like sweet fragrances for summer but this is an exception :D

Its my favourite body mist from Sol de janeiro🩷 Smells much more expensive than it is! It’s a fruity and deep perfume. Sweet and fresh in the same time🥰Smells like a beautiful girl that takes good care of herself! Really attractive, beautiful, young and feminine🌸

my perfect summer gourmand. deliciously edible, like a stack of waffles with warm fruit compote & whipped cream. a juicy yet slightly powdery sweet vanilla 🧇✨ the body butter almost smells even better than the mist, such a yummy scent!!

strong vanilla bomb and plum scent!! compared to the other sdj scents, this one is a little more heavier from the musk and also a bit spicy but it's perfect for the colder weather. it's a shame it has such a strong alcohol scent tho

Love love love this one! Literally lasts over 12 hours on my skin (not sure about sillage) Creamy plum and amber opening, then kind of floral (mostly orchid in my skin), and dries down to a sugary vanilla that I looooove.

Put this on again and I think I’m accepting how much I love it. Only SDJ I have that I actually use happily. Elements of how Lush uses blackcurrant, how Tabacco Vanille uses dried fruit, and how Tokyo Nights uses plum.

Soft and airy sweet vanilla scent, I also LOVE the plum note in this. It’s a bit overpriced though but overall nice, I love the body butter! I always use it for layering and the smell lasts unlike the mist!

Has a cashmere quality that I love, soft and moody...definitely good for fall, something a little mysterious and very complex in this one. Everything I’ve smelled with plum usually has that effect for me.

Juvenile, but definitely my favorite scent from the whole brand. I think it best encapsulates the beachy, playful, carefree vibe of SDJ (thanks to the plum and vanilla notes). Just so girly—I love it <3

I couldn't necessarily identify the plum, but this is a delicious, red, juicy vanilla! So sad about the longevity, which could be better, but at this price point, respraying doesn't hurt too much.

Gave my bottle to my sister cause I didn't love it, but every time she wore it around me I was complimenting her scent, so I bought it again! Great "red vanilla," as another reviewer described it.

used to hate this dna but now really enjoy it. i pair this with mod vanilla and a ag cloud perfume oil and the scent projects and lasts all day! def can be worn all yr round which is a plus.
