Today, I spent the whole day figuring out how to better use sdj, specifically the ’39 version. It’s all about this ‘Cheirosa 39’ thing, which, as it turns out, is some kind of fragrance. I’m not usually into these things, but I was curious.
First, I tried to get the general idea. What’s this sdj ’39 all about? It seems like it’s a scent, and not just any scent, but a fancy one. I learned that it’s supposed to smell like coconut, but not the usual kind. This one’s supposed to be more, I don’t know, “sophisticated” and “complex.” They say it has notes of “young green coconuts,” “toasted praline,” and something called “tropical orchid.” Sounds interesting, I guess.
Then, I dug a little deeper. I read that sdj is actually part of some brand, “Sol de Janeiro,” they call it. And this ’39 scent is not their main thing. Their big hit seems to be something called ‘Cheirosa 62′. People are all over this ’62’ stuff – they put it in creams, sprays, you name it. But this ’39, it’s like a comeback or something, with a “Coconut Cream and Toasted Praline” scent.
- Tried the ’39 scent. It’s not bad, but definitely different. I’m not sure about the whole “sophisticated” part, but it’s different from regular coconut stuff.
- Read about layering. Apparently, there’s this whole thing about layering scents. You put on the cream first, then the spray. I tried it with the ’62 cream and the ’39 spray. It’s an intense mix, that’s for sure.
- Compared ’39 and ’62. Honestly, I kind of get why ’62 is more popular. It’s just easier to like, I guess. But ’39 has its own thing going on.
In the end, I’m not sure if I’m a sdj ’39 convert, but I did learn a lot. It’s interesting how much goes into these scents and how people use them. I still prefer simpler things, but it was a fun experiment. Maybe I’ll keep using the ’39 for a bit, see if it grows on me. For now, though, I’m just glad I tried something new.
