Have you worn Rio Radiance?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. Smells like sunscreen and the beach; it’s quirky, light and youthful, but strictly for summer.

  2. Julia1998

    Smells like sunscreen. The first thing I detect is salt, followed by a floral note.

  3. Coquita

    Starts strong with alcohol that fades quickly; then a cool, sandy sensation, slightly astringent like Vim Clorex. Once it settles, the flowers and coconut emerge. Green neroli stands out at first, then ylang-ylang gains strength and finishes sweet. It’s not a bomb, but lasts in bursts for seven hours. It’s feminine, perfect for sunny days and holidays. A twist on the classic coconut-floral with an original sandy touch. Pleasant, interesting and worth it if you like beach perfumes.

    Didn’t think I’d like it because of the ylang-ylang, but it’s delicious. It has creamy coconut and vanilla, you can smell the sand, it smells super summery and beachy. Not very youthful, but soft and pleasant.

    Extremely soft… not a hint of longevity. That slight acidic note bothers me. Nowhere near the hype; after 15 minutes, it smells like nothing at all. A total letdown.

  6. Silvanacopp

    Coco with neroli, it’s absolutely taken me by storm!

  7. NinnaRP

    Extremely soft, doesn’t last a minute. Has a sharp note that’s annoying. Nothing special, I don’t get the hype. It disappears in 15 minutes. Total disappointment.

  8. My favourite of the Sol de Janeiro fragrances, but I don’t feel it’s anything special.

  9. It was my favourite of the January sun fragrances, but I still can’t see anything special about it.

  10. Sharlette

    I was obsessed with this brand’s body mists, but I see they’re copying famous perfumes lately: number 40 resembles Bk540 and this smells like Soleil Blanc by Tom Ford. When I already have a perfume, the last thing I want is another similar one 🙄
