Sol de Janeiro 62 is one of those products I wanted to side eye because everyone talks about it, but honestly… I get it. This scent is sweet, warm, summery, and it gives that “I smell expensive without trying too hard” vibe.
I wear it for everyday errands, school days, and even nights out because it somehow works for everything. It is definitely sweet, but not in a headachey or overpowering way. On me, it feels just right, especially when I spray it in my hair. That is where it lasts the longest and gives the prettiest scent trail.
The only thing I’ll say is that it is not the most unique fragrance ever. A lot of people know this scent now, so if you want something super rare, this might not be that. But if you want an easy compliment scent that smells warm, pretty, and put together, I think it deserves the Hot List spot.
Final verdict: I love it! I would repurchase it, and yes, I think Sol de Janeiro 62 is actually worth the hype.
Have you tried this one, or do you think it’s overrated?

One tip that made a huge difference for me was applying the fragrance not only on my pulse points but also lightly spritzing it into my hair. This technique significantly extends the longevity of its warm, sweet aroma throughout the day.
I’ve found that the scent is versatile enough to wear casually or dress up for social outings without feeling overpowering, which is a must-have quality in everyday fragrances. It blends sweetness in a way that's inviting and not cloying, ideal for compliment-getting without being overly flashy.
In addition, its somewhat familiar yet comforting character makes it a great signature scent for those who want to feel polished and confident without chasing something too niche or obscure. Although it might not be the most unique fragrance out there, there's a reason it's beloved and widely recognized—its warm, caramel-vanilla warmth envelops you with a sense of effortless luxury.
If you’re someone who enjoys fragrances that bring positive vibes and easy compliments, trying Sol de Janeiro 62 might just become your favorite fragrance ritual too.
