Which Should You Buy?
A radiant burst of tropical fruits and florals, Cheirosa '68 is pure summer in a bottle-juicy, sweet, and energetic, with an irresistibly playful trail that brightens any day.
Perfume Parlour's budget take on Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '68 - juicy pink dragon fruit and lychee over a jasmine-hibiscus heart and an airy, sea-note freshness, finishing soft and vanillic. PP captures the bright, playful, summer-energy signature of the original; in EDP form it can hold longer than the body mist, though it reads a touch flatter and simpler. A breezy tropical fruity-floral for a fraction of the price.
