I’ll admit it, I have a soft spot for Sol de Janeiro. There’s always a sense of joy attached to them, the kind that makes body care feel less like a routine and more like a small daily celebration. So when I found out I’d be among the first to try the brand’s newest rose-led duo, Rosa Charmosa Dewy Cream and Cheirosa 91 Perfume Mist, excitement barely covers it.

Rose is one of those classic beauty notes that can feel predictable when done wrong. But leave it to Sol de Janeiro to flip expectations entirely. Rosa Charmosa and Cheirosa 91 don’t whisper old-school florals, instead they glow, pulse, and feel unapologetically modern.

Rosa Charmosa Dewy Cream: where body care meets skincare ambition

The first thing that struck me about Rosa Charmosa Dewy Cream was the texture. Whipped, airy, and cushiony, it melts into the skin almost instantly, leaving behind a dewy sheen that catches the light in the most flattering way. This isn’t a body cream you rush through applying, this is one you enjoy lingering with.

What really won me over, though, was the richness of the formula without heaviness. My skin felt deeply nourished, plump, and comfortably hydrated well into the next day, living up to its promise of long-lasting moisture. There’s a facial-grade sensibility here, thanks to crystal peptides, soothing rosewater, and Brazilian yacón essence, that makes it feel like skincare has officially entered the body-care chat.

The yacón essence, sourced from Brazil’s rainforests and preserved through cold-press extraction, delivers hydration that feels both immediate and lasting. But beyond the science, it’s the glow that stays with you. Skin looks smoother, more luminous, and honestly, happier.

And then there’s the scent. Juicy, rosy, and fresh, it lingers far longer than I expected from a body cream. Soft enough for daytime, yet noticeable in the most addictive way.

Cheirosa 91: a rose with attitude

If Rosa Charmosa is the glow, Cheirosa 91 Perfume Mist is the sparkle. This is rose reimagined through a distinctly Brazilian lens, think bright, energetic, and slightly unexpected. The opening feels vibrant and juicy, thanks to passionfruit, before settling into the warmth of honey caramel, all anchored by the bold presence of Rio Pink Rose.

There’s a slight sharpness to the mist at first spritz that I genuinely love, it gives the fragrance personality and keeps it from leaning overly sweet. As it dries down, the scent softens into something radiant and confident, clinging to skin beautifully thanks to Sol de Janeiro’s Scent Imprint Technology. It’s the kind of fragrance that feels alive, like it moves with you rather than sitting quietly in the background.

Layered with the Rosa Charmosa Dewy Cream, the two work in perfect harmony, balancing richness with brightness, softness with energy.

More than body care, it’s self-celebration

What makes this launch feel especially timely is how it taps into a bigger shift happening in beauty. Body care is becoming the new skincare frontier, and Sol de Janeiro continues to lead that conversation, pairing high-performance formulas with sensorial pleasure and emotional uplift.

Rosa Charmosa and Cheirosa 91 arrive alongside a campaign rooted in self-celebration, encouraging positive self-talk as part of daily care. It’s a reminder that how we care for our skin is deeply connected to how we speak to ourselves. Using these products feels like a quiet affirmation – joyful, indulgent, and grounding all at once.

With Rosa Charmosa joining the brand’s iconic body-care wardrobe, alongside cult favourites like Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (my all time favourite), and Cheirosa 91 expanding its growing floral fragrance family, this duo feels like a natural yet exciting evolution for the brand.

If this is what rose looks like in 2025 – juicy, radiant, and full of life, I’m completely on board.

Rosa Charmosa Dewy Cream and Cheirosa 91 Perfume Mist are available globally from December 2025 at Sephora, and in Singapore Sephora stores from January 2026.
