Smell Better With As Little Effort As Possible

Sol de Janeiro's new Jelly Perfume Balms are doing the heavy lifting today

Hello, Gorgeous!

Sometimes you just need something that smells lovely and requires absolutely zero thought.

When life gets hectic — and oh, has it been hectic — the last thing any of us wants is to overthink fragrance. You want to smell like yourself, feel a little lifted, and get out the door. Sol de Janeiro’s new Jelly Perfume Balms were made for exactly that moment.

Sol de Janeiro’s Jelly Perfume Balms

I love how cute, affordable and accessible the brand’s first-ever solid fragrance collection is. Also, the alcohol-free and long-lasting part are both major selling points for me. Just swipe and go. And because I’m someone who wants a whisper of scent rather than a fragrance avalanche, the jelly applicator is ideal, since you’re in control of exactly how much you’re putting on.

Three scents to choose from:

• Cheirosa 62 is the warm, beachy one — pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla. The olfactory equivalent of just getting back from somewhere sunny. And pistachio is still having a moment. If you’ve been curious about foodie scents, this is a great one.

• Cheirosa 68 is brighter and more playful — Brazilian jasmine, pink dragonfruit, and ocean air. I was stuck home this winter. This feels like a tiny vacation.

• Cheirosa 40 is the sultry option — black amber plum, jasmine, and vanilla woods. Soft but confident and great for date night….even if it’s on Zoom.

All three are $26 at SoldeJaneiro.com and Ulta.com

I keep meaning to ask you if you want more fragrance features or roundups. Yes, no? Let’s meet in the comments to discuss!
