Summer é Amor

Sweet, almond-y, nutty, vanilla, floral, bright, juicy, fruity, citrusy, warm, powdery, feminine, sensual, seductive, sexy, flirty, playful, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, alluring, tempting, addictive, cheerful, inviting, cozy, comforting On me this opens with a burst of bright and juicy tangerine and sweet, powdery, and nutty almond intertwined with some citrusy and floral orange blossom and powdery and delicate vanilla orchid. The dry down is gorgeous! Sweetly decadent brown sugar, sensual vanilla, the golden warmth of amber, and soft woodsy notes join the citrusy, powdery, and nutty notes which become more subtle, while uplifting the sweet and warm base notes and making them really shine. I’m a huge fan of SDJ fragrances, and own all of the permanent line, as well as almost all of the limited editions. My top 5 favorites of these are Summer é Amor, 39, 62, 71, and 40. I do get similarities to 62, but still really enjoy having both in my collection as there are enough differences. 62 is more a more vanilla caramel scent that has stronger nutty notes, a more woody base, and a salty note. Summer é Amor is more citrusy and bright, with a soft orange blossom, and lacks the salted caramel and sandalwood base. This feels feminine to me, and suitable for women of all ages, even if it has a slightly youthful vibe to it. It feels perfect for casual occasions as well as for work and/or school. I think this works well throughout the whole year, and feels very uplifting. For reference, some of my other favorite vanillas besides what I’ve mentioned here include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, The Wedding Silk Santal, Vanilla 28, Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Yum Pistachio Gelato, PDM Oriana, Kilian LDBS, Princess, GdT Celeste, Bianco Latte, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Burberry Goddess, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Guerlain Mon Guerlain, 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, Cotton Candy Clouds, Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds, Fireside Flurries, Whipped Honey & Vanilla, Love Unleashed, Coastal Dreaming

My favorite of the new 3 summer limited edition fragrances! Sweet, warm, creamy, feminine, yummy, and delicate. This is just such a gorgeous fragrance. I really pick up on the almond, orange blossom, brown sugar, vanilla, and amber. The woodsy notes become more noticeable after about an hour, but they’re soft and subtle. It’s just this really gorgeous, warm, softly woodsy, sweet vanilla floral almond scent that has a delicate and even elegant feel to it. I think it’s the most wearable out of the new SDJ trio... it’s a very easy reach and would work well throughout the whole year. I can’t get enough of it, I keep sniffing my wrists. I do think there is a similarity to Cheirosa 62, but only somewhat because they’re still pretty different scents imo. 62 is more deeply sweet, more gourmand, warmer, and a more creamy and delectable scent. Summer é Amor is lighter, brighter, and more delicate. It’s sweet, but not as creamy or deep. It’s centered around the beautiful almond note instead of pistachio and I think that makes a big difference. I do really love both fragrances and think that they are different enough to easily have both in your collection. I always get really good performance with SDJ mists, and Summer é Amor is no exception. The scent lasts throughout the entire day, and it projects out about an arm’s length from me. Just for reference, I own and love several SDJ fragrances (along with these 3 new ones) including Coco Cabana 39, Cheirosa 62, Rio Radiance 87, 59, 40, and the body cream in 68. Just Some of my other favorite Sweet fragrances include Gold Sugar, Ralph Lauren Beyond Romance, Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Eau So Sweet, Nest Golden Nectar, and Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar ✨If anyone is looking for a Carioca Crush I have one available that I’m willing to trade for a Summer é Amor!

The woodsy almond version of Cheirosa 62. I know Sol De Janeiro's brand is summer in a bottle but this is more of a fall/winter scent to me because it is so thick and sweet. The almond also pulls a little cherry on my skin. I tried it with Cheirosa 62, CH Good Girl, and Swiss Arabia’s Oud Tonka. These combos are complex. Each of them had a nutty and effervescent quality to it. This body spray was fun to layer with will, but be careful with lotions, it is fickle. I paired it with the Bum Bum cream and Dr. Teal’s almond body oil and it was lovely. But when I wore this with Jergan’s cherry almond lotion, the lotion just ate this body spray up and made it nonexistent. I love nutty scents, I own a lot of them, and this smelled very familiar to me. Finally I found its dupe, this is the body spray version of Carolina Herrera Good Girl Supreme. The performance is great, I get about six hours of wear with moderate projection. This is also beautiful worn in your hair. Overall a fun and sexy scent I would wear on a night out, but if you already have CH Good Girl Supreme you can pass on this.

I guess I can sort of see the comparison to SDJ 62.. but this is 10000 times better than 62. This is heavenly. The almond really adds this soft girly touch to this. It smells like a marzipan, which I've never really smelled in a perfume. It's one of their more unique scents in my opinion. It seems to last a good amount of time which is usual for SDJ. Even thought they're body sprays, I'm always shocked at the longevity. They last longer than some of my EDPs. This is for sure one of their best scents ever. I hope that it can come back next summer too, it's just so beautiful and it deserves to be brought back regularly. Also, I don't necessarily think it's only a summer scent. This could definitely be worn in any season. I think the almond note really helps it be versatile with any season.

More almond on clothes, and more tangerine with a hint of almond on my skin. I would say this is certainly not similar to 62 to me at all. The nutty note is completely different, and this is reading brighter, less gourmand. I like both and am glad I own both. I do like the strong almond scent this is giving off on my clothes better than the tangerine on my skin, but that is more a personal preference. The brown sugar is detectable in the dry-down as well, which is nice.

The dry down is absolutely beautiful! The opening isn’t my favorite with the almond note but it settles into a creamy warm floral shortly after the initial spray. The dry down is warm amber vanilla. I’m in love with this one! The almond and warmth remind me of a very light version of Good Girl, but I also smell some resemblance to SDJ 62. It’s not a dupe, but there are definitely similarities to both. Longevity was 5 hours with 4 sprays.

This is just Carolina Herrera good girl. It’s pretty, but it’s just a dupe of one of the CH good girl perfumes. Edit: it still is a dupe for CH but I kind of grew to really love this fragrance and I don’t think I have a favorite from this launch anymore, because now I have memories attached to each of the scents from this line. This was such a fun collection for me and I’ll be sad to see any of them go 😭

I love this one! It's fruity and florally, and not too almondy! Powdery scents aren't my favorite so I was afraid that the almond note would make this not as pleasant. Also, it's not too sweet. I will definitely be wearing this one a ton. Maybe my favorite of the three released this summer.

i LOVE this so much! blind bought it and i was scared because how much everyone was saying it smells like pure almond... and it doesn't. it smells so yummy, creamy, almondy, milky but summery and bright at the same time, it's crazy.

I was all for passing this up and ironically it’s become my favorite of the three limited editions from this summer. The brown sugar is warm and really lovely and delicious!

Opens like Cheirosa 62 and dries down as Good Girl. Interesting... And it’s sold out on most retailers in the U.K., so I suppose it’s a favourite here 🇬🇧

This is way better than good girl, and it’s not screechy like gg. This is mesmerizingly delicious smelling! Eye roll good 😊 so yummylicious!

if 62 is too sweet, or if 71 is too buttery/foody this is a good option. it’s like 62 but leans fruitier. the almond doesn’t smell like play dough which is what i was worried for. the only downside is that this has no longevity. i mean NONE!!! i don’t mind reapplying but it feels like a waste if it only lasts 10 minutes (if you’re lucky). DO NOTTTTTT pay resellers insane pricing, you’re going to be disappointed. i know it’s limited addition but if they made a matching body butter it would last so much longer, so i’m on the hunt for something that smells similar, if anyone has any recommendations please lmk !!! i do like it but i like their other body mists more, so overall based off of the longevity i have to give it a 6/10

Add me to the list of people who say this is the summer version of 62. What does it smell like? Bum Bum Cream, spritzed with Good Girl Supreme (minus the red berries), and a touch of hairspray. *others mentioned this, which I get as well It’s a nice scent, but I personally don’t need a summer version of 62. I will always love the OG, but I do get sick of it by the time summer rolls around. Sure, it’s lighter/more floral, but also so similar that I don’t feel like I need to own both. My teenage daughter was happy to take this off my hands though😆

This is nice! I will say, I do like the other two sprays better. But this isn’t bad. Very soft and pretty. I don’t think this resembles 62 as much as I thought it would... it reminds me of the hair milk, but not outside of that. I also don’t get good girl, or anything else here. This is a soft gourmand scent — the almond, brown sugar, amber and orchid are really prominent here. I don’t smell much orange blossom or woods. If you want something subtle and musky, this is the way to go.

It smells just the same as Cheirosa'62 mist! I know Sol De Janeiro's have their own signature notes in their scents that you can tell its theirs (the artificial sugary+nutty note) but this is just way too similar with the flagship scent of theirs. Maybe just a little lighter. I hope it dries down with a pleasant surprise. It is a nice scent for sure, but I feel a little bit fooled that now I have both, and there's nothing NEW in this Special Edition. Disappointed.

Fruity floral vanilla scent family. You might like this if you like perfumes such as Lancôme La Nuit Tresor or Dior Poison Girl. At first spray on my skin, I get a lot of orange blossom, orchid, and something like berry syrup (berry not official notes, but my nose picks up on something similar to that). I don’t get any tangerine at all. In the dry down, it smells like a smooth almond vanilla with just a hint of the florals.

Simple as Almond, tangerine and brown sugar! This reminds me of 62 but with tangerine. The tangerine and almond stays the full wear. To my nose it’s a sweet creamy citrus . Not a huge fan of tangerine in a fragrance but it’s similar to 62 which I love. I like it, just not Crazy over it.

It’s sweet and nutty and somehow still summery in the same way that SDJ ‘62 is. Except this is almond instead of pistachio. I can definitely tell it’s almond, this smells like delicious marzipan to me. I don’t get a lot of the florals, personally. This is a nice summer gourmand.

this definitely shares the cheirosa 62 dna. it also reminds me a lot of b&bw gingham glow, only gingham glow gives me a headache, and summer e amor doesn't. it's nice, i bet it'll be better when it gets warm out again
