Beijos Perfume Mist: Tropical Peach Skin & Coconut Fragrance Inspired by Copacabana Beach - Long-Lasting and Refreshing Scent - Portable Size 90ml

Beijos de Sol is such a gentle fragrance, with way more of a “skin smell” vibe than other Sol de Janiero mists in my collection. It’s like a delightfully beachy, bright mixture of peach & coconut milk carried by solar florals. It brings a lot of beautiful sunny tropical warmth without becoming sweet or cloying, which I love!! It’s a perfect soft, warm summer fragrance that brings happy beachy vibes & memories of summers past (at least for someone raised in CA) but isn’t artificial smelling or overwhelming, even on a super hot day where fragrances can get sickening quickly. Its softness can also be its weakness though, as it remains faint no matter how often you reapply it! It has very low projection/ silage & seems to fade from mildly there at onset to barely detectable levels extremely quickly, even for Sol mists which don’t have great lasting power in general. Which is such a shame because for a few beautiful fleeting moments between the alcohol dry down & the nearly immediate fading of the fragrance it smells almost exactly like HARAJUKU LOVERS G PERFUME from the early 2000’s which I LOVED. It has that same good beachy coconut note where it sits between fresh coconut milk & warm suntan lotion coconut smell, but avoids the gourmand toasty/nutty/sweet quality that a lot of other coconut fragrances have & instead stays in the sunny/creamy/fresh but warm tropical lane. You definitely smell the fresh juicy brightness of the peach at initial spray, with no candy or artificial notes, it really smells like a fresh super ripe juicy peach which sadly does not stay & fades into a barely detectable but warm fruity note in the dry down. There is also a super slight pear note that others have mentioned but it sits under the peach note from initial spray to dry down. Also, as someone who finds flowering pear trees to stink, (IYKYK) this pear note did not turn on my skin like some others had mentioned. I was super worried about this element but the pear is barely there & for me thankfully did not go into rancid stink, but seems to be a risk factor for some if you’re sensitive to that. The frangipani petals honestly are where most of the warmth to this fragrance comes from, & they definitely live in that solar warm floral arena, NOT in the sugar warm floral aspect of frangipani that a lot of mists lean into to. However it is still a sweet/sunny/honey smelling flower like alyssum & brings in the warmth through that aspect but at no point does it overwhelm the coconut milk & peach notes, & instead comes in & gently rounds them out without removing them. I can see why many people were surprised by this mist, but also why I love it: it is definitely NON-gourmand, but rather a fruity sunny floral, coconut fragrance. It’s gentle, tropical, & warm while still staying fresh, fruity & uplifting. I only wish it wouldn’t fade so quickly, & would retain the initial brightness of the peach throughout the dry down. The lack of silage might keep me from buying again, but also the well-balanced, barely there yet delightfully beachy fragrance might bring me back, at least until I find a better G dupe. Faint but lovely!!
