Cheirosa 91 Intense

Cheirosa 91 Intense by Sol de Janeiro is a feminine-leaning eau de cologne in the budget price tier. It opens with bergamot, passionfruit, lychee and red berries, moves into magnolia, rose, pistachio and peony and dries down to amber, musk and sugar. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Passionfruit Sharp, tropical and slightly sulphurous. Vivid and modern.
Lychee Rosy, watery and delicate. Sweet without being heavy.
Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.

Heart

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

Dry-down

Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Sugar Plain sweetness. Usually there to round the edges off something else.
