Cheirosa '87

Beachy, warm, sweet, sunny, bright, exotic, floral, creamy, feminine, sensual, uplifting, nostalgic On me this opens beachy, sweet, and warm with tropical and creamy coconut milk, and the exotic and mineral scent of warm sand. As it begins to dry down the solar florals come into play with creamy tuberose and tropical ylang ylang. Further into the dry down I get the sweet, creamy, and sensual vanilla and the golden warmth of amber which really helps to enhance the sand accord. Overall I get a lovely beachy/coconut scent with just a touch of a high end sun tan lotion scent. It’s very pretty, transportive, and nostalgic. 87 evokes the feeling of soaking up the sun on my skin with my toes in warm sand, a coconut drink in my hand, and relaxing on a tropical beach with a gentle ocean breeze that brings whiffs of exotic solar florals. To me this feels feminine, and like it would suit women of pretty much any age. It does have a slightly youthful vibe to it, but nothing that would make it just for tweens, teens, and 20 something’s. I’m 37 and still enjoy wearing this very much. This feels best suited for the warmer weather of late spring and summer, but could also be used anytime during the year if you’re wanting to evoke feelings of warmth, the beach, and summertime. I feel like this works best for more casual occasions, as well as for work, or school. I do see some similarities to other fragrances in this category like Alien Goddess, Replica Beach Walk, and The 7 Virtues Coconut Sun. Even though they’re similar they’re also still different enough that I still have all of them in my collection. I do own both the OG Rio Radiance, as well as this newer 87 version, and at least to my nose I think they smell exactly the same. I’m a big fan of the SDJ line, and I own all of the permanent line fragrances, as well as Coco Cabana, 39, Summer é Amor, Beijos de Sol, and Carioca Crush. While 87 isn’t in my top 3 favorites (Coco Cabana/39, Summer é Amor, 62) of the line it’s still one that I really enjoy, and no where near my least favorite. Honestly I think it deserves more love than it’s been getting. I do get good performance with 87. The longevity is decent, it lasts about 5-7 hours before it might need a touch up. The projection is nice, it radiates out about an arm’s length. For reference, some of my favorite beachy/coconut fragrances include Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Yves Rocher Monoi Eau des Vahines, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Replica Beach Walk, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, JHAG Lust For Sun, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, Bobbi Brown Beach, Kayali Maui in a Bottle, Kayali Maldives in a Bottle, SDJ Coco Cabana, B&BW Coco Paradise

best cheirosa fragrance imo. can’t get enough of this one, it’s just so gorgeous! feels like a hot sunny beachy day after laying in the sun for hours with sunscreen & sand on your skin and on some tropical island but sunscreen in the best way possible, think along the lines of sweet, milky type of sunscreen. def can smell the coconut milk, sand and tuberose combo the most. sometimes i just put it on to put myself in a better mood. it’s a very uplifting fragrance, i feel like you can’t go wrong with this one, no matter what season/weather it is. 10/10 for me.

Another absolute LOVE from me.... my favorite of the line and maybe the best of them all. Lovely lovely lovely beach scent! Smells like expensive sunscreen and salty skin and sunburn. You're going back to the vacation house after a thunderstorm rolled in. A must have for anyone who loves summery, sunscreen-y beach scents. Like many other people have said, pair this one with Replica's Beach Walk! It's PERFECT!!! I get so many compliments. I wear this one a lot on it's own, too.

Smells like summer. nice projection, warm sun and sand and beachy sweetness and sunscreen, which is definitely not for everyone but WOW am I into it. It’s not too strong but it’s not too weak, either. Literally one of my favorite perfumes Ever as I’m writing this. Puts visions in my head of tanning on the deck of a beach cottage, on the beach, or by the pool in a bikini. When it fades, I get that utterly tantalizing skin scent of vanilla left over.

Omg this is the type of scent I’ve been searching for, for years! My friend was wearing this & I couldn’t get enough of it. This is a beachy, coconut forward spray. To me this is summer in a bottle. It has that warming comforting summer evening air to it, the longevity is amazing - I sprayed it at 9am & can still smell it now at 22:00, my new fave! If you’re looking for a coconut, summer, fresh scent this is the one!
