Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper divisive holiday romance. For some, it's that dreamy, expensive sunscreen vibe that screams luxury beach holidays. For others? Just bog-standard sun lotion with an overwhelming tuberose sledgehammer. You'll either adore it or be running for the hills.
A budget take on Sol de Janeiro Rio Radiance (Cheirosa 87). Radiant Rio captures the beachy coconut-and-vanilla solar floral closely - community reviewers call it spot-on - with a touch more sweetness up front and slightly less of the radiant projection of the cult original.
