Limonada Gelada

Sweet, citrusy, vanilla, coconut, powdery, fresh, juicy, vibrant, radiant, sunny, beachy, feminine, flirty, playful, charming, whimsical, delightful, dreamy, delicious, cheerful, joyful, uplifting, alluring, tempting, addictive, inviting cozy, comforting Oh my goodness is this ever good! It’s super delightful and addictive! On me it opens vibrant and radiant with sweet, tangy, and juicy lemonade. As it begins drying down the tropical coconut comes through with just a touch of pineapple and musk. The dry down is absolutely delicious! It shines with decadent brown sugar, sensual vanilla, the golden warmth of amber, and just a whisper of blonde woods. The most prominent notes on me are the lemonade, coconut, brown sugar, and vanilla. Overall, it reads like a sweet yet tart cotton candy/marshmallow-y lemonade!🍋🍬✨ This is such a charming, whimsical, flirty, and yummy scent that’s super cheerful and uplifting! It’s an easy reach for warmer weather that’s hard to imagine anyone disliking! The brown sugar really adds this amazing, addictive decadence to the scent that really elevates it! I also enjoy the addition of coconut here because it gives it a really lovely beachy vibe! The overall impression is of drinking a fresh squeezed lemonade and eating cotton candy while walking along a boardwalk! Like sunshine in a bottle! I’m a huge SDJ fan, so I bought the Destination Drop right away! I really thought that Cheeky Biquíni would be my favorite, but it turned out to be Limonada Gelada! My least favorite of this trio is the Refresco Paraíso which is a super refreshing scent. I do own most of the SDJ fragrances, my top 5 faves are Summer é Amor, 62, 39, 40, and 91. My least favorites are Dança Mística, Aqua Mística, and 68. I do get similarities to Capri in a Bottle, Devotion, BBW Summer Vanillas Lemon, and Yum Boujee Marshmallow. I own all of them, and definitely find Capri in a Bottle to be the most similar, as it’s another very radiant and vibrant vanilla marshmallow-y lemon scent. To me this feels feminine to me, and even though it has a somewhat youthful vibe, I think it’s suitable for all ages (I’m 38 and love it!). It feels most fitting for the warmer weather of spring and summer. I think it’s most suitable for casual occasions as well as work/school. For reference, some of my other favorite fragrances include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Candy, Yum Pistachio Gelato, Kilian LDBS, Princess, Sunkissed Goddess, GdT Celeste, Bianco Latte, PdM Oriana, Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Guerlain Mon Guerlain, D&G The One Desire, JHAG Powder Love, Summer Fridays Sunlit Vanilla, LSF Secret Crush, Vanilla Twirl, Coach Dreams Starlight, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Queen’s Caramel, Vanilla Salt, Phlur Honey Moon, Heavy Cream, Vanilla Nectar, Beach Skin, VS Vanilla Lace, B&BW Beach Nights, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Cotton Candy Clouds, Whipped Honey & Vanilla, Fireside Flurries, Love Unleashed

Sweet, citrusy, vanilla, coconut, beachy, powdery, warm, amber, fresh, vibrant, radiant, sunny, feminine, sensual, flirty, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, delicious, alluring, tempting, addictive, cheerful, joyful, uplifting, inviting, cozy, comforting, unique This is really wonderful! Such a delightfully yummy and almost decadent lemonade treat with a beachy twist! It even reads as somewhat fluffy marshmallow like too! I actually find it rather unique! Turns out that this is my favorite of the summer ‘26 LE trio, which surprised me a bit! I definitely thought Cheeky Biquini would be my favorite , and while I certainly enjoy it, it ended up coming in 2nd place for me here. I also really love the packaging of these with the sun-bleached wood looking caps and the pastel-like colored bottles! The combination of sweet, slightly tart, and juicy lemonade, tropical and creamy coconut milk, decadent brown sugar, sensual vanilla, warm golden amber, and gentle blonde woods is just super yummy! I do also get very subtle touches of musk, floral notes, and solar notes, and just the softest whisper of pineapple in the opening. The most prominent notes on me are the lemonade, coconut milk, brown sugar, and vanilla, followed by the amber and blonde woods. It’s like drinking the most delicious lemonade out of a coconut on a gorgeous tropical beach! I’m a huge fan of SDJ fragrances, and own almost all of them! My top 5 faves are Summer è Amor, 62, 39, 40, and Limonada Gelada. My least favorites are Dança Mística, Aqua Mística, and 68. To me this feels feminine to me, and while it’s got a youthful vibe, I still think it can be worn by women of any age. This feels like it will work best during the spring and summer. I do agree with the “reminds me” section that there’s at least some similarities with Capri in a Bottle, Devotion, Yum Boujee Marshmallow, and Summer Vanillas Lemon. I get very good performance with Limonada Gelada, especially for a mist. The longevity is on the moderate side, it lasts at least 5-6 hours on my skin. The projection is also at least moderate as it radiates out at least an arm’s length from me.

My SECOND review as a LEMON fragrance HATER! {Collection of over 150 fragrances, this is my second lemon fragrance}. It’s insane, I HATE lemon, bitter, zesty, sour notes in perfumes, but THIS! THIS is lemon body spray done RIGHT to my nose I bought a BACKUP! They did SO GOOD using a lemonade with tropical notes rather than straight up lemon, on a vanilla base. This is simple yet sophisticated for lemon themed body mist. It’s YUMMY, SWEET lemonade cocktail 🍹 on the beach, with a lovely vanilla base. It also gives whiffs of vanilla cupcake 🧁 once it dried down & some time has passed. Unfortunately the lemonade strength does get weaker & the vanilla gets stronger. I wish the lemonade note lasted longer & the fragrance stronger. But no other compliments! It’s not as sugary as some of these reviews make it seem. I’m sweet liver so I have lots of very sweet body sprays, this is really nice & sweet but absolutely not “drenched in sugar syrup” like the reviewer suggested. BEST with KAYALI Capri Lemon Sugar. The two together are FANTASTICO! It made me love lemon sugar even more, I upgraded to the 50ml bottle & ordered a backup of Sol de Janeiro Limonada Gelade the same day. I’m SO surprised! I bought it thinking I’ll hate it, loving it was a huge risk but I bought it with the pink one so I don’t pay shipping🌝 and I’m SO GLAD I did!🍹🤤👌

FULL REVIEW: I’m NOT a fan of lemon but HOLY! I was so scared & had a strong feeling I wouldn’t like it, I added it with the pink (cheeky biquíni) to get free shipping & luck. 🌝🍋 HOW do I love this? HOW do I love it more than the pink one?!!! REVIEW:- {as a owner of over 150 perfumes} 🍋 Opening you get that Lemonade (not zesty lemon peel nor sour). They did great when they choose lemonade instead of straight up lemon zest/ juice IMO, with a sweet sugary vanilla base it makes it more wearable & gourmand. Not too sugary for my taste but it’s definitely nice & sweet! 🍋 Once it settles you get more of the vanilla shining through, like lemon vanilla cupcake!🧁 🍋 Negatives: that lemonade opening settles down very much, and quickly that it may be disappointing for some! It’s also not as strong as I would’ve liked! However it is a nice product & I actually might get a backup! MIXED with KAYALI Capri lemon sugar:- 🍋 Very very Bonita 👌 in fact if you’re a lemon lover or lemon sugar perfume lover this would be to DIE for- for you! The sugary sweet lemon will last & project better. 100% Satisfied & highly likely will repurchase! It’s very good for someone who isn’t into lemon & sour stuff but want to expand their taste & give it a shot. They made it in a way, that I think is worth the try at least.🤗💯🏖️

as someone who loves lemon flavored desserts but hates citrus notes in perfume THIS IS PERFECT!!! most citrusy perfumes smell like bathroom spray to me and im in love with this mist. its perfect for summer!! i can really smell the lemonade and coconut in this and i generally dislike coconut scents but it’s so nice in this. its definitely a sweet scent but its not too overwhelming. it also lasts pretty long on me! after a few hours it becomes less fresh and more like a candy scent? idk but i LOVE it.

Love this body spray as it’s not sickly sweet or overpowering as the other Sol De Janeiros. Despite the Limonada name, I don’t get much lemon or citrus from this. It’s very similar to Yum Boujee Marshmalllow fused with Capri in a Bottle. It’s creamy marshmallow with a hint of lemon & vanilla. It’s very comforting to smell this lemon meringue type fragrance. Not as long lasting as the other Sols & less projection so it’s more suitable for the office and for warm days.

My favorite of the three from SDJ's The Destination Drop line, and the one I expected to like the least. (Cheeky Biquíni was the one I expected to adore, and I do, but it lasts about 5 minutes on me). This is like if you took lemon candies and somehow made them beachy. It is incredibly unique, and best suited for the warm weather. It lasts quite awhile on me. SDJ's longevity is rather good in general (except that pesky aforementioned pink one). I can't get enough.

I love this. I wasn't expecting to but I do. For those in the know, it smells so much like those lemon sandwich cookies that I used to sell with Girl Scouts (I don't know if they still do them). Biscuity, lemony, and sugary. Very lemon meringue pie vibes. I would say if you're not into gourmandy edible smelling scents this is probably not for you, but I find it delicious and now fancy some lemon desserts.

This is the closest dupe I've found to the long-discontinued Lemon Vanilla from Bath & Body Works (one of my all-time favorite scents, which I hoarded for years). The lemon lingers longer on my skin compared to other reviewers, and I enjoy the fluffy marshmallow and deeper burnt sugar scents. There is a fresh, tangy note that hangs on until the end. Perfect for summer!

if you ever had Strawberry Shortcake dolls and had the Lemon Meringue doll, thats what this smells of! It's probably my favourite scent SDJ has ever done, theres depth without being overpowering, it's fun and sweet whilst also having a freshness from the lemon note. I hope SDJ make this a permanent addition to their line so I don't need to stress about needing backups.

Let it sit for a few seconds before smelling, its smells like a lemon cake! I like it a lot I see that this is being compared to capri in a bottle, but I found that fragrance a bit medicine like and headache inducing. Limonada gelada is definitely not that and has a very real cake smell to it

Omg this is amazing!!! It smells EXACTLY like the bath and body works summer vanilla lemon scent from 2010!!!! If you know, you know!!! My mom, sisters and I were all so obsessed with that scent too. It’s so great!!!! The perfect balance of lemon sweetness and vanilla warmth is to die for.

It smells exactly like froot loops cereal to me. Citrus, milky, sugary, and warm. I like it!

It is absolutely sweltering in the UK right now, and my pregnant self cannot cope with anything too strong or heavy, so this has been a lovely little escape. This genuinely smells golden. Like a glass of fresh homemade lemonade with a brown sugar rim and a slice of pineapple perched on the edge. It's bright, cheerful, and effortlessly summery. Light, sweet, and carefree, like a warm breeze drifting through an open window. As it dries down, it becomes a soft lemon sorbet scent on my skin. Refreshing and pleasant, though quite subtle. By that point, I really have to bring my wrist up to my nose to catch it. The biggest downside is the longevity. Like many others have mentioned, I get about an hour from it if I'm lucky, which makes it difficult to justify repurchasing. That said, I do appreciate how original it feels. There aren't many fragrances that capture the feeling of an icy lemonade on a scorching day quite so well. Will I buy another bottle? Probably not. Will I happily use up what I have while pretending I'm poolside somewhere and not the size of a small elephant? Absolutely. 🍋

Okay i like this, it is a very sharp sugared lemon scent, very much a sticky LEMONADE or a lemon sorbet. Not a coconutty milky lemon. Zero lactonic notes or pineapple or anything, just lemonade lemonade lemonade. Layers beautifully, disappears in 3.2 seconds on it's own. I've only had the mist for a few months and it's over 1/4 gone. You have to respray it at least once per hour. I'd arguably say it only lasts 20-30 minutes. Obsessed with the packaging though, the lid??? >>>>

I smelled this on a whim, I'm not a huge sol de janeiro fan, but the yellow and wood combo called to me. Immediately hit with pineapple, which I'm so glad to see on the notes here because I was confused when the bottle said it was lemon. I adore how there is still a sourness to the citrus. Reminds me of a lemon glaze on a pound cake with some of the rind grated on top. I'm not a summer scent kind of person but this speaks to me!

You can smell the lemon and maaaybe a little bit of the coconut on the first spray but it dries down very quickly to a brown sugar scent. From then on I don't get any lemon notes from it. When I first tested it I didn't find it very special but I found myself craving it later so I ended up getting it. I definitely don't regret it but I think this is better for cooler weather as it's a sweet gourmand.

When it dries down it smells exactly as Dolce&Gabbana Devotion. This being a body mist is a good summer alternative to the actual perfume which can become cloying during really hot and humid summer days.

It does smells nice, like brazilian lemonade 🍹 But!!! It absolutely does not last! Literally gone in 10-20 minutes 😒 This is officially the worst performing Sol De Janeiro scent and I own 6 of them!

This is the body mist version of Limonata by Narcotica. It’s crisp, sugary, airy, and realistic lemon. This isn’t really a gourmand but it’s not a freshy. It is in between. Love this for summer.
