Review of Cheirosa '71 by Sarah Chabal

So very gourmand and super yummy, but also savory! On me this is a very sweet, creamy, buttery, and decadent caramel, swirled with powdery vanilla, nutty macadamia, and rich white chocolate sprinkled with sea salt and coconut flakes. The caramel reads as both decadent and savory because it’s a thick, rich, gooey, and buttery salted caramel in the best possible way! I even get a bit of that yummy buttered popcorn scent, but it’s blended well so as not to be too prominent, or overwhelming. It definitely leaves my skin smelling incredibly delicious and absolutely edible! I really love this one! This is one that’s definitely for the hardcore gourmand lovers (like myself!)! It’s super sweet and a true straight up gourmand! It’s like the more decadent version of 62. It makes me think of a more decadent, rich, and nutty combination of 62 and 39. I’m a huge fan of SDJ, and own almost all of their fragrances! My favorites are Summer é Amor, 62, 39, 71, 91, 40, Limonada Gelada, Sundays in Rio, 59, and Beijos de Sol. My least favorites are Dança Mística, Aqua Mística, and 68. I’m planning on getting the 2 newest ones by August, and I just cannot wait! To me, 71 feels feminine, and even though it has a slightly youthful vibe, I think it’s suitable for women of any age. I think this works best during fall and winter because of its sweet decadence with a savory touch, it could maybe become cloying in the heat. However, does kind of have a summer-y feel to it, probably from the coconut blossom. It makes sense considering that their brand is “summer in a bottle” along with smelling absolutely delicious. So, I do think that it could work during summer nights too. This feels most fitting for casual occasions, date nights, and work/school.
