While everyone else runs to grab Sol de Janeiro’s best-selling Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, it’s the Delícia Drench Body Butter that has officially earned a permanent spot on my bathroom shelf. I’m Glamour’s art director, so covering beauty products isn’t really my beat, but when I got my hands on this intoxicatingly scented product, I dropped everything to gush about it to Glamour senior beauty editor Ariana Yaptangco, who encouraged me to take my love public.
Sol de Janeiro has mastered the art of irresistible scents, making every product a sensory escape that can transport you from a sun-drenched beach to a lush rainforest in the blink of an eye. The scent that stole my heart comes from the brand’s iconic Cheirosa 59 line, which I first experienced while indulging in the newly released Delícia Drench Shower Oil. And though my showers certainly have been upgraded, it didn’t take long for me to realize that I wanted this scent on my skin all the time, which had me reaching for the next closest thing: the Sol de Janeiro body butter.

With notes of plum, violet, orchid, amber, sandalwood, and vetiver, Cheirosa 59 is not just a scent—it’s a full-on vibe. Sweet but not cloying, rich but not overpowering, it’s the kind of fragrance that makes people stop me on the street and ask, “What are you wearing?” (No joke—my record was three people in one day.) Spoiler alert: It’s not perfume—it’s this body butter.
Of course, the hydration is phenomenal, too, with ingredients like hyaluronic acid providing long-lasting moisture, passionflower seed oil to soothe stressed skin, and bacuri butter that replenishes the skin barrier by restoring essential fatty and amino acids. If you want a body butter that feels like self-care and smells like pure heaven, this is the one you’ll reach for over and over. This whipped, velvety cream has a rich texture without feeling too heavy. Every time I scoop it from the jar and slather it on, it feels like a warm hug for my parched, winter-worn skin every time.
Hours later my skin still feels baby soft—which, especially during these winter temps, is hard to come by. It melts into your skin without leaving a greasy residue, unlike some of the other body butters that I’ve attempted to work into my regimen, making it a perfect self-care staple in the morning before I slip on my OOTD. Bonus points: It’s vegan, cruelty-free, and packed in recyclable materials. Whether you’re battling dryness or just want to add a little luxury to your routine, the Sol de Janeiro body butter is a game changer that’ll leave your skin glowing and your spirits lifted. Trust me—your skin and your senses will thank you.
