The lotion has been praised for smelling ‘divine’ and being ideal for using in summertime
Sol de Janeiro has come out with cult-classic fragrances for years, with many of them being dubbed ‘scent of the summer’, and its most famous is available now in a lotion. Cheirosa 62 is recognised in the beloved Brazilian Bum Bum Cream – but the scent can now be found in the Body Badalada lotion.
Priced at £32 on Sephora, the cream has a hydrating formula that uses hyaluronic acid, vitamin E-rich Brazil nut oil and vitamin K-rich cactus pear extract to keep skin soft. It is a thinner formula than the body butter consistency of Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, but some shoppers prefer this.
Palmer’s have a Brazilian Coco Cream that’s been compared to the cult classic although it doesn’t have the exact same scent, it’s currently £12.99 at Superdrug. Meanwhile Treaclemoon’s Brazilian Love Body Lotion, £4.25 at Tesco, has drawn in many comparisons to the cult classic scent.

It’s pulled in an impressive 4.9 out of 5 from 933 reviews. One shopper said: “I am obsessed with the original bum bum cream in the pot and regularly buy the refill pods. So when i found out they finally made a lotion format in a pump bottle with the same scent i had to try this. I love the light fluid consistency of this lotion, how easily it spreads, how super fast it absorbs and how it smells divine just like the original. It’s perfect for the summer as it’s very moisturising but so light and non sticky. I have repurchased another bottle already!”
Another insisted it’s been something they look forward to everyday, writing: “I was so excited to try the Sol Body Badalada Lotion, and it did not disappoint! It melts into the skin so quickly, leaving behind a silky-smooth finish without any greasiness. The hydration truly lasts all day, my skin feels soft, nourished, and completely pampered. And the scent? Absolutely addictive. That warm blend of pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla is sweet, cosy, and lingers just enough to make you want to keep sniffing your skin. It’s a daily indulgence I look forward to!”

The lotion contains Sol de Janeiro’s iconic Cheirosa 62 scent.
One shopper complained that it isn’t moisturising enough and that they have to use it alongside more moisturising creams. They wrote: “It smells divine! However the hydration part is missing. I use this with my other actual hydrating lotions.”
One shopper insisted it’s the best texture for the warmer months. They said: “This lotion is divine! The texture is rich but sinks in quickly, leaving my skin unbelievably soft and glowy. The scent is sweet, tropical, and totally addictive—like summer in a bottle. I’ve gotten compliments every time I wear it. Great for layering or wearing on its own. Hydration lasts all day without feeling greasy. Sol de Janeiro nailed it again!”
