But honestly, diving into the world of Sol de Janeiro has been such a journey, and I’ve learned there's so much more to explore beyond just one scent. If you're like me and got hooked on #68, you might be curious about their other famous fragrances, especially the much-talked-about #65, or even want to know about all the amazing Sol de Janeiro scents out there.
Let's talk a bit more about my beloved Sol de Janeiro 68. Officially, it's part of their Beija Flor line, which is designed to give you that vibrant, youthful feeling. For me, it's a sheer, floral scent with notes of pink dragonfruit and lychee, rounded out by Brazilian jasmine and vanilla. It’s light, airy, and truly makes me feel pretty and confident, like a warm, sunny day. The fact that it comes in a full line, including the Beija Flor Elasti Body Wash and Elasti-Cream, means you can really layer that beautiful fragrance. I've found that using the body cream (which, by the way, has plant collagen!) before the mist makes the scent last *all day long*. The body wash, with its retinol-mimicking ingredients, is such a luxurious start to my routine.
Now, about Sol de Janeiro 65 – this is one I hear about constantly! While #68 is my current love, #65 has a completely different, yet equally captivating, personality. It's often described as a warm, gourmand fragrance, with notes of pistachio and salted caramel. Think rich, sweet, and utterly delicious – like a dessert in a bottle! If you lean towards warmer, cozier scents that remind you of beach days and sweet treats, #65 might just be your perfect match. It’s definitely bolder and more edible than #68, which is more floral and fresh. I've tried layering it with some unscented lotions, and it really holds its own beautifully.
And for those wondering about all Sol de Janeiro scents? Oh my goodness, where do I even begin! Beyond #68 and #65, there's the iconic #62 (the original Bum Bum Cream scent) with its caramel and pistachio goodness, and #40, which is a warmer, plum and amber blend. Each one tells a different story, invoking various Brazilian vibes. The beauty of Sol de Janeiro is that they offer a range of experiences, from fresh and floral to warm and decadent. My tip? Don't be afraid to try some samples or smaller sizes to find your personal favorite. You might just discover a new obsession like I did with #68, or perhaps even fall for a different number entirely! What's your favorite Sol de Janeiro scent, or which one are you curious to try next?
