Cheirosa 59 Intense
Cheirosa 59 Intense by Sol de Janeiro is a feminine-leaning eau de cologne in the budget price tier. It opens with orchid and macadamia, moves into violet, sambac jasmine, sandalwood, toffee and patchouli and dries down to amber, vetiver and musk. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Orchid Creamy, sweet and slightly synthetic. A modern florals staple.
- Macadamia Buttery, mild and creamy. The rich nut, not the sharp roasted kind.
Heart
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Toffee Buttery burnt sugar. Denser and chewier than caramel.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
