Sol de Janeiro Água Mística Hair and Body Fragrance Mist ($25) is one of three, limited-edition Summer 2025 fragrance mists that Sol de Janeiro recently launched. I was not going to purchase any of these because they just aren’t doing it for me lately but the Sephora Savings Event rolled around, I’m weak, and here we are. So far, I review the Sol de Janeiro Danca Mistica Fragrance Mist for you and it wasn’t anything special. I did think Sol de Janeiro Agua Mística Hair and Body Fragrance Mist was a little better however, I read somewhere it smelled like “boy shower gel” and now I can’t get that out of my head because it really does.
Let’s jump ahead.
It took me literally several hundred sprays of this to realize what exactly I was smelling. I KKNEW it smelled like something but I couldn’t pinpoint what it was. It finally came to me! It smells very, very similar to Kayali Citrus | 08. As I said above someone said, “boy shower gel” and yeah, that’s sort of correct. No, not Old Spice smelling but more a warm, masculine fresh citrus scent. I actually like the scent a lot. It smells fresh, clean, a little zesty…! It’s nice but not groundbreaking!
Top notes: Tangerine, Pineapple and Neroli
Middle Notes: Peony and Jasmine
Base Notes: Skin, Salt and White Cedar Extract
Agua Mística Perfume Mist was inspired by the crystal waters and golden sands of Prainha Beach. I don’t get beachy vibes from this. It’s a clean, fresh, citrus fragrance that has a bit of warmth from the white cedar that gives it a more masculine edge. I’d go so far as to say it’s unisex and can be worn by either females or males. I do like it but it’s not a must have especially considering it’s a bit on the weak side and wears away fairly fast and doesn’t create a strong scent bubble after application. Someone had said, Sol de Janeiro’s LEs are coming more like Bath and Body Works launches and I’d have to agree. Sol de Janeiro has created some legendary fragrances but these new launches just aren’t up to the standard of some of their OG scents.
Sol de Janeiro Agua Mística Hair and Body Fragrance Mist is not enough but not a must get even on sale.
Did you smell this one? Thoughts? Do share!
