Cheirosa 91

Cheirosa 91 by Sol de Janeiro is a feminine-leaning eau de cologne in the budget price tier. It opens with passionfruit and pink pepper, moves into rose, magnolia and pistachio and dries down to honey, caramel, amber, sandalwood and sugar. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Passionfruit Sharp, tropical and slightly sulphurous. Vivid and modern.
Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
Pistachio Green, salty and creamy. Nutty without being heavy.

Dry-down

Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Sugar Plain sweetness. Usually there to round the edges off something else.
