Sol de Janeiro perfume mist that 'smells like YSL' gets reduced by almost £10 in rare sale
If you like the smell of YSL's Black Opium perfume, you'll love this on-sale Sol de Janeiro mist... As a beauty editor, I frequently find myself being asked by friends and family for product recommendations. Whether they're after the ideal moisturiser, a dependable mascara, or a signature scent, I'm always ready to share my knowledge. However, when it comes to perfumes, I tend to be a bit more discerning. For those seeking a wallet-friendly option that doesn't compromise on aroma, there's one body mist I consistently recommend with confidence: Sol de Janeiro's After Hours fragrance mist. The setback? It was a limited edition from the previous year and was no longer available for purchase. However, last year, Sol de Janeiro introduced its newest core scent to the fragrance mist list, Cheirosa 76 mist, and it's essentially After Hours but in a lighter blue bottle. Even better, it's in a rare sale this week, which sees it drop in price from £24 to £16.80 for a 90ml bottle. The perfume mist is touted to 'embody the vibrant rhythm of a night out in Rio', with a scent profile that echoes the 'glittering 1976 discotheque era'. With intoxicating and velvety aromas, this fragrance melds notes of black currant, pear nectar, midnight jasmine, vanilla crème, lush freesia, amber woods and caramelised patchouli. But, if you want a more accurate scent description, I think it smells a lot like YSL's Black Opium EDP. Boots launches 'huge' 40% off No7 sale with make-up and anti-ageing skincare I like this scent for one primary reason: it's not excessively sweet. Some mists, including a few from Sol de Janeiro's range, can dry down to be a bit cloying. It's alright for youngsters, but I'm a woman in my thirties, and I look for sophisticated scents with more of an aromatic base. I would argue this is the most mature perfume mist I've encountered, and the longest lasting. I really appreciate the depth of the amber woods but a slight sweet hit from the vanilla, balanced with a subtle jasmine floral. It's a sultry, moody scent with a light finish. At £100 less than Black Opium, which you can shop from £104 here for a 90ml, it's an affordable, and very convincing, alternative for anyone looking for a designer-like spray on a budget. Of course, you can't compare the quality of the oils used in an EDP like Black Opium with any body mist. A mist is diluted, and as a result, you'll use up 90mls of it faster than an EDP because you'll need to apply more to maintain the fragrance. If I spritz the 76 mist in the morning, it lasts beyond lunch until I feel the need for a top-up spritz. In contrast, I can use Black Opium in the morning and I'll still smell it on myself by evening. Having said that, Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa 76 has earned a spot in my heart and in my handbag. If you're looking for another mist suggestion, I also can't get enough of Phlur's new Peach Skin Body Mist, £25, which smells like summer in a bottle.

Just when the Weeknd broke Levi's Stadium records, he shed his persona
Just five songs into his set on a cool night at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Abel Tesfaye — better known to the world as The Weeknd — removed his chrome mask, a symbolic moment that set the tone for the night. His face beamed with pride as the record-breaking sold-out crowd recognized the human being behind more than a decade of dark, hedonistic hits. 'That was a warm welcome,' Tesfaye replied to the shower of screams on Tuesday, July 8, the first of his two back-to-back concerts in the Bay Area. It was also a farewell. Tesfaye has all but confirmed that he wants to turn the page on his Weeknd name and persona while still pursuing music and expanding his creative portfolio, and now he's doing it in the most public and flamboyant way possible. His evolution has been playing out through his 'After Hours Till Dawn' tour, a trek that has stretched three years and multiple continents, including a previous August 2022 visit to Levi's Stadium. In commemoration of his latest album trilogy — 'After Hours,' 'Dawn FM' and 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' — this tour truly feels like a going-away party to the Weeknd era. To memorialize this transition, the home of the 49ers was turned into a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Dystopian props ran from end zone to end zone: a backdrop of toppled buildings, catwalks jutting from the main stage that formed a glowing cross, and a giant silver statue by sci-fi illustrator Hajime Sorayama that served as sentry and visual anchor. The Weeknd's prime collaborator Mike Dean played an eerie, eclectic 30-minute instrumental set to open the show, switching from keyboards, guitar and saxophone. Another mysterious and enigmatic figure, Playboi Carti, provided main support. The crowd fed off the rapper's chaotic, free-spirited aura for the 30 minutes he was on, even though he committed multiple fouls: leaving off 'Magnolia,' sporadically rapping over his own vocal track, cupping the mic, and top of the list, addressing the Santa Clara crowd as 'San Fran.' (Playboi Carti later joined the Weeknd for spirited romps through 'Timeless' and 'Rather Lie.') The Weeknd fared much better with his GPS, frequently shouting out San Jose, Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco. Draped in bejeweled robes that glistened with every move, Tesfaye opened his show like a messianic figure, arms spread wide, singing 'The Abyss' flanked by 30 dancers dressed in blood-red tunics. It was like a religious gathering — a funeral, perhaps — with a hymnal filled with The Weeknd's biggest hits and key collaborations. Rather than dividing the concert into acts, it was grouped by vibes. The next four songs served as a bemasked sampling from 2016 to the present ('Wake Me Up,' 'Star Boy', 'After Hours,' 'Heartless') then moved to more upbeat tempos and nihilistic themes. The live band gave songs like his 2015 hit 'Can't Feel My Face' extra traction, while allowing songs to seamlessly transition and vamp as necessary. The Weeknd must have vocal cords of rebar, because for two hours his piercing tenor and falsetto held strong through the stadium confines. Any hesitancy of the venue's size diminishing the performance melted away as his voice was clear from start to finish. He sustained notes at different octave ranges with confidence and ease. A block of tempered songs that included 'Often,' 'Baptized in Fear' and ended with 'Cry For Me' was a vulgar display of vocal power. The Weeknd's genre fluency and fluidity allows him to cross electronic, new wave, R&B and alternative barriers. He falls easily in line with visionary artists that dabble with darkness and vulnerability like Prince, Björk and Depeche Mode. A synth pop blitz of 'Save Your Tears,' 'Less Than Zero' and 'Blinding Lights' cast appreciative spells of Ultravox and OMD. Stasis is the enemy of creativity, and the Weeknd is getting ahead of it with this tour, celebrating his past triumphs and taking a dry eraser to his 2011 vision board to begin anew. After performing a moving 'I Feel It Coming,' the camera held steady as grateful tears rolled down Tesfaye's face. The mask was off; The Weeknd has left the building. Abel Tesfaye? He's just getting started. Todd Inoue is a freelance writer. Setlist The Abyss Wake Me Up After Hours Starboy Heartless Faith Take My Breath Sacrifice How Do I Make You Love Me?
