Sol de Janeiro X ANITTA

From the nozzle, I smell the coconutty vanilla scent with a tang of passionfruit, however upon spraying it is almost all passionfruit and orchid. Then it settles down on my skin to a nice warm passionfruit with honey on a base of light vanilla. I don’t really get any patchouli nor pineapple (which isn’t on the listed notes but many reviews I saw mention it) from this. I thought I smelled some pink pepper when I first sprayed it on my skin but I’m not sure if it’s just a note I’m confusing with something else. This spray is not just passionfruit on top of the base of the original (Cheirosa 62) like I see other reviewers posting. It’s very different, the vanilla base has a different sweetness that is not at all nutty nor syrupy like the original. This is a great scent and I think it’s worth trying, especially if you’re a fan of Sol de Janeiro scents or just “vacation” scents in general. I live in Miami so this is a very regular scent I could wear any day or night out, but I could see how someone in a midwestern winter couldn’t see themselves bother ever picking this up. I’ll be sad to see it gone as it is limited edition.

So, this is by far my favorite of the Sol line. Pure happiness when you spray this. Also, as with the others, I don't think these need to be restricted to Summer. They have this gooiness that really can be worn in cold weather and just keeps you dreaming of the warmer days to come. Unlike some Summer scents that are pure tropics, the passionfruit gets a real warm up from the honey and patchouli. I'm not sure about anyone else here, but I rarely wear just one scent, I love to layer. If you want a nice, layered option, partner this with Vacation from Arquiste. The coconut milk adds some creaminess and depth to the coconut water here, and the pineapple and banana work really well with the passionfruit. This is definitely a great purchase for beach and pool lovers, and a nice nod to retro sun bums.

Omg 😱 the hype is real! This is GOOD STUFF! And I must disagree with the opinion below mine- I hate bikini season the dill pickles and all! This- this is Juicy!!!! This is ten over ten way better than bikini season. The passion fruit is in your face and so perfectly well blended with the other notes— really bringing this to life- if you love passion fruit then this is a must have! Oh and btw I hate patchouli with a passion and this has none detectable in this 70 degree temperature... it’s just a supporting player thar cannot be detected at all. It reminds me of the juiciness that used to be in pure seduction. It’s passion fruit with coconut water along side honeyed jasmine... it’s amazing!🥲 I love it soooo much 💗💗💗. It smells even better in cooler weather.

Ugh, I adore this scent!!! I bought 3 bottles knowing it was limited edition and I’m so happy I did! I am on my second bottle and I already used half of it. I really wish the company would make this one of their permanent scents because it is truly sexy! I know there is no pineapple in here but it smells like pineapple mixed with vanilla and hint of spiciness from the patchouli. It is truly amazing and done so well for a fruity fragrance And it lasts all day on me especially on my skin, PLEASE BRING THIS BACK PERMANENTLY! You’d be doing lots of us a favor lol although it’s a summer fragrance I use this all year around and it still smells just as good in cold weather.

Tl;dr: I love this. So sweet and warm. Dry down is a bit fresh with that sweetness lingering. I smelled this straight from the nozzle and it was immediately familiar. I was a Gucci Rush fan, I know it was hit or miss for folks. But it was my fav. This smells very much like Gucci Rush to me. The peach, fressia, vanilla, patchouli of Rush is all here for me. Anitta is much more sweet. I’m wearing this during a very warm and humid summer, but I can see myself reaching for this during colder months too. I’d probably layer it tho, with something that has a leather or suede note.
