Strangers are stopping to ask about the scent of Sol de Janeiro's new Body Badalada '39 lotion, which has become an instant success. The product offers deep hydration and a captivating fragrance.
Product Features
The Sol de Janeiro Body Badalada '39 is described as a moisture melting lotion that infuses the popular Cheirosa 39 fragrance. Originally a limited edition, the scent was brought back due to fan demand. It features top notes of coconut cream, a heart of toasted vanilla and tropical orchid, and a base of praline and sandalwood, evoking a holiday-like aroma.
The lotion contains pro-ceramide to strengthen the skin's moisture barrier, Brazilian buriti oil rich in vitamins A and E, and coconut oil for deep hydration.
