‘My favourite smell ever’ rave Boots fans over five star body mist that’s ‘perfect for summer’
IN NEED of a new summer scent? Well look no further, fragrance fans have been loving a body mist and it’s perfect for the warm weather.
The scent is a available in Boots right now and the best part is it won’t break the bank like most popular perfumes.
The Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist has been a favourite of people on social media, with the scent even going viral last year.
But after coming in and out of stock for ages it’s back on the Boot’s website and for just £24.
It’s described online as “a body fragrance mist, bursting with an alluring pistachio and salted caramel scent.
“One of Brazilians’ essential beauty secrets is being cheirosa (sheh-rō-zah), which means to always smell incredibly delicious from sunrise to sundown.
“Brazilian Crush, a body fragrance mist, instantly transports you to the sultry beaches of Rio de Janeiro.
“Inspired by the addictive pistachio and salted caramel scented Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, Brazilian Crush is a delightfully sunny, daily immersion for use on body and hair.”
The fragrance has top notes of pistachio, almond, mid notes of heliotrope and jasmine petals, and dry notes of vanilla, salted caramel and sandalwood – sounds delicious, right?
Impressively, the spray has 4,005 ratings on the Boots website, with an average rating of 4.7 out of five stars.
One shopper wrote: “This body spray smells so good and is a staple in my collection. I bring it everywhere I go and use it everyday. Lasts so long!”
“I got this a couple months ago and I have gotten so many compliments on it. It’s smells so sweet! Highly recommend getting,” a second agreed.
“OMG! I love the scent, my favourite of them all. I would recommend this to everyone,” a third chimed in.
Meanwhile, others obsessed over how the fragrance has a “beachy” scent that’s perfect for summer.
“It makes me feel like I’m at the beach 24/7,” one raved.
“My fave smell ever. It goes with every season from winter (dessert and cosy) to summer (beachy and yummy) – so versatile and so amazing,” another wrote.
If you love the Sol de Janeiro scents you’ll be happy to know there are plenty more you can try out too.
Other popular scents from the range include the Brazilian Crush Cherirosa 68, which has key notes of Brazilian Jasmine and Pink Dragonfruit.
Or there’s Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 40 with Black Amber Plum, Crème de Cassis, if that sounds more like something you want to indulge in.
Best beauty dupes
Fabulous' Beauty Editor, Tara Ledden revealed the cheaper version of your favourite beauty products that you should have in your cupboard.
“A huge 55% of us would like to spend less on our beauty routines according to new research from E.l.f. Cosmetics, so it’s no wonder there’s millions of #dupe videos on Tiktok.
“While some dupes are easy to spot given their look-a-like packing, they’re often lacking when it comes to the contents.
“In fact, some of the best dupes look nothing like the luxury product they’re a dead-ringer for – and, trust me, they’re the ones you want.”
REAL: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer, £32.50 DUPE: Natural Collection Bronzer, £3.50 which is a saving of £29. The Natural Collection Bronzer comes in more shades, although it doesn’t have a mirror in the compact.
REAL: Milk Make-up Hydro-Grip Primer, £35 DUPE: E.l.f. Power Grip Primer, £10. These two share a similar green hue, as well as the same long-wearing, mattifying properties – although, E.l.f’s is so popular it’s just as hard to get hold of.
REAL: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick, £28 DUPE: L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Satin Lipstick Beige A Nu, £8.99. The shades of these two lipsticks are virtually identical on the lips, although while Charlotte Tilbury’s is matte, the L’Oreal Paris Lipstick has a satin finish – which actually makes it more comfortable if you’re wearing all day.
REAL: Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation, £40 DUPE: Collection Lasting Perfection Matte Foundation, £6.99. While they don’t look alike from the outside, the formula, consistency and staying power of both foundations is pretty similar – unfortunately, the Collection only comes in 20 shades vs Estee Lauder’s 60 options.
REAL: Glossier Boy Brow, £20 DUPE: Essence Make Me Brow Gel, £2.50. There’s a whole reddit thread dedicated to this dupe, so you know it’s got to be good. They both have a waxy consistency and added fibres to make brows look fuller. I have to say, the shade range is far better with Boy Brow, but if you’re brunette, there’s plenty of Essence shade options to try.
