We hardly need to remind you that Sol de Janeiro has carved out its place at the top of the bodycare hierarchy. Its buttery textures, beach-ready glow, and - of course - that unmistakable caramel-vanilla scent have achieved cult status. The now-iconic Brazilian Bum Bum Cream has become a bathroom staple for beauty lovers everywhere, and just in time for summer, the brand has dropped not one, but three limited-edition scents - and trust me, they’re every bit as addictive as the original.
It’s not just the Grazia beauty desk that’s enamoured - Sol de Janeiro has long held a coveted spot in the Love Island beauty cupboard, so much so that the producers had to restock it every week. Following the roaring success of its Cheirosa collection, spanning everything from silky body washes to ultra-nourishing creams, the brand’s latest fragrance trio has officially entered the chat. And dare we say, this might just be Sol’s most irresistible launch to date.
Die-hard fans, consider this your call to arms. The new Mistica Perfumes cater to every mood and moment, offering a scent wardrobe that feels refreshingly different from anything we've seen - or smelled - from the brand before. For those obsessed with the bold, sensual smell of YSL's Libra, Sol's Danca Mistica mimics this warm amber and fig scent without feeling too heavy or intense. My personal favourite has to be Agua Mistica out of the collection - I can see myself wearing this all summer. The tropical, salty scent reminds me of Maison Margiela's Beach Walk but without the hefty price tag. The light, aquatic blend of neroli and tangerine makes for the perfect holiday scent and instantly transports you to a sandy beach. Finally, for those who reach for Dior's cult J'adore fragrance daily, we noted that Flor Mistica makes a fantastic dupe. The sensual, warm musk and orange flower channels this designer scent, adding the perfect touch to your spring outfit.
Whether you're on the hunt for a designer dupe or a fresh summer signature, the Mistica Perfumes are a standout addition to your bathroom shelf. Designed with layering in mind, they allow you to create a bespoke scent experience - unlike anything we’ve smelled from the brand before.
