Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cheirosa '68 EDP
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Tropical Bloom EDP
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cheirosa '68

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Luminous tropical fruits and lush florals make Cheirosa '68 ideal for spring and summer, evoking the sensation of a fresh Rio garden. Its sweetness can be cloying in winter, but the breezy freshness is best suited for warm weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

This is a playful, vibrant scent-perfect for casual outings or daytime dates where a lively, sweet presence is welcome. Moderate projection keeps it from overwhelming in most contexts, but the tropical fruitiness is less suited for formal or sporty occasions.

Tropical Bloom

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The juicy tropical fruit and airy sea-note freshness make it a quintessential spring and summer scent; it is too light and bright for cold weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its playful, breezy character suits casual daytime, dates and warm-weather sport far more than formal occasions.
