## Essence
Cheirosa 87 Rio Radiance is Sol de Janeiro's solar beach mist: creamy coconut milk, warm sand, tuberose, ylang ylang, sheer vanilla, and amber. It is the line's sunscreen-and-sunshine profile, distinct from the brand's pistachio-caramel and vanilla dessert gourmands.
## Scent Profile
The opening is creamy coconut milk over warm sand. Together they create a clear suntan-lotion impression, which is the scent's central attraction and its main risk. If beach sunscreen smells nostalgic, Cheirosa 87 lands instantly; if it smells cheap or too literal, the opening will be difficult.
The heart is solar white floral. Tuberose is creamy, bright, and sometimes bubble-gum-like; ylang ylang adds yellow-floral warmth and a soft tropical roundness. Coconut remains present but does not become a sugary pina colada.
The drydown is creamy vanilla and amber essence, warm and soft rather than heavy. The scent stays linear by perfume standards, moving from coconut sunscreen to solar tuberose and then a vanilla-amber beach-skin finish.
## Performance
Performance is good for a body mist and modest by perfume standards. It can project around arm's length early, especially in heat, then sits close. Hair and clothing hold it better than skin. Liberal spraying and layering over Rio Radiance body products are the practical ways to extend wear.
## Wearing Context
This is peak-summer daytime fragrance: beach, pool, vacation, hot-weather errands, post-shower spraying, and gym-bag refreshing. Some wearers use it in winter as a mood lift, but formal settings, nightlife, and cold-weather polish are not its lane. It reads young, sunny, casual, and beachy.
## Comparisons & DNA
Within the Cheirosa range, 87 is the beachy floral option. Cheirosa 62 and 71 are gourmands, 59 is violet-vanilla wood, 40 is plum-musk, and 48 is guava-fruity. Cheirosa 87 is the one that smells most like beach skin.
Its broader family includes Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Eau de Soleil Blanc, Maison Margiela Beach Walk, Mugler Alien Goddess, Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess, Guerlain Terracotta, and other coconut solar florals. Those references are usually stronger and more polished; Cheirosa 87 is the accessible mist version of the idea.
## Reception
Reception is warm among people who love solar coconut scents. Praise centers on beach vacation realism, uplift, and better-than-expected performance for a mist. Criticism centers on the sunscreen accord, hit-or-miss longevity, and occasional generic fresh-spray associations. Value sentiment is best for wearers who want an affordable beach scent and weakest for those expecting designer-level polish.
## Versions & Reformulation
The naming history is the main version note. The scent was sold as Rio Radiance, was briefly associated with Tan Lines, and is now standardized as Cheirosa 87. The dossier treats these as the same scent across names. It exists primarily as a hair-and-body mist and matching Rio Radiance body products. No significant reformulation is documented.
## Acquisition Notes
Cheirosa 87 is accessible beauty pricing in 90 ml and 240 ml formats. It is sold through the brand and major beauty retailers. Because it invites generous spraying, the large format is practical. Decants are not important, and open inspired-by alternatives are more common than true counterfeit concern.
## Notable Facts & Lore

- The "87" references Copacabana beach culture in Sol de Janeiro's Brazilian-nostalgia naming system.
