Cheirosa 87 vs Cheirosa 40

Opens with a bright ylang ylang that's more tropical resort than heady floral, quickly softened by coconut milk and a whisper of sea salt that keeps it from going full dessert. The heart settles into a creamy, skin-close white floral blend — airy rather than heavy — while vanilla and white amber nudge the dry-down toward a warm, lightly sweet finish with just enough softness to feel beachy rather than cloying. Projection is moderate; sillage is intimate and close-wearing — Made for warm-weather days when you want to smell like sunscreen and salt air without trying too hard.

Opens with a ripe, almost bruised plum that softens quickly as jasmine moves in — not sharp or soapy, but warm and slightly creamy. The heart settles into a jasmine-plum accord that leans sweet without turning candied, held together by sandalwood that adds a dry, woody undercurrent. Vanilla anchors the dry-down, pulling the whole thing toward skin-close comfort rather than loud sillage — projection is moderate at best, intimate by the second hour. Longevity is decent but not remarkable. — Best worn in cooler months layered on skin or hair; a reliable everyday feminine for someone who wants soft sweetness without going full gourmand.
