About The Brand
Sol de Janeiro was founded in 2015 by Heela Yang, who was inspired by the Brazilian way of life and feeling of freedom she’d experienced there during her travels. When creating the brand, she wanted to bottle up the energy of Rio de Janeiro’s beaches with luscious bodycare, haircare and perfumes. Beauty isn’t a universal standard for Sol de Janeiro – it’s all about letting your inner confidence shine. The Brazil-inspired brand crafts products that will boost your mood, from the uplifting Sol de Janeiro perfumes to the bright-coloured packaging. What does Sol de Janeiro mean? It translates to “Sun of January” – the time of the year when the sun is at its highest point in Brazil. Sol de Janeiro wants to share this feeling of sun and warmth through its products. The brand also ensures that its products are as good for the skin as they feel with sustainably sourced ingredients. All Sol de Janeiro products are cruelty-free and don’t contain any sulphates, phthalates or parabens.
Who Is It For
If you’re looking for feelgood, fun, yet efficient bodycare, Sol de Janeiro is the brand for you. From body creams for baby-soft skin to limited-edition Sol de Janeiro sets, there’s something to fit everyone’s mood and skin needs. You'll feel like it's summer all year round with these products in your arsenal.
Why Space NK Loves
We love that Sol de Janeiro is taking a different approach to bodycare and wants everyone to embrace their authentic selves. It’s not just about the products, but also about the feeling they convey. With one sold every four seconds, the Bum Bum Cream is an absolute must-have for anyone who wants to give the brand a go. And if you're a fan of gourmand, fruity and floral scents, you’ll want to bag yourself a Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa Perfume Mist Set. We especially love the iconic Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62, Cheirosa 68, Cheirosa 71 and Cheirosa 76 Mists.
Your Questions, Answered
The Brazilian-inspired brand developed a loyal following thanks to its bestselling Bum Bum Cream and has successfully continued to expand its bodycare offerings, with hits such as Beija Flor and Delicia Drench. Bodycare aside, Sol de Janeiro is adored for its feelgood perfume mists, which range from warm and gourmand to fruity and floral and even amber and woody. Cheirosa 62 – the scent found in Bum Bum Cream – is Sol de Janeiro’s most iconic scent, with Cheirosa 68, 59 and many others following suit!
Sol de Janeiro is a celebration of Brazilian culture, and “cheirosa” in Portuguese means to smell incredibly delicious. It’s an affectionate term and a true compliment! You’ll find most of Sol de Janeiro’s perfume mists are called “Cheirosa” – which, given, how addictive they are, makes perfect sense… Prepare to receive lots of compliments when wearing a Sol de Janeiro fragrance.
Sol de Janeiro perfume mists can be used on both your body and hair, and you can also mix and match them with different eau de parfums. They also pair perfectly with Sol de Janeiro’s body creams. If you love Cheirosa 62 for example, layer it over Bum Bum Cream to maximise and prolong the scent. The same applies to Cheirosa 68 and Beija Flor, as well as Cheirosa 59 and Delicia Drench. Ultimately, Sol de Janeiro’s body mists are extremely versatile, and can be worn and layered as you please!
