SEEN GroupWhat we feel.
How we choose.
Three findings to start the launch conversation. Seventeen research threads to explore the evidence behind it.
The launch, through three findings
We explored what people search for, what they say about fragrance, and the content they encounter when choosing. Together, those sources reveal practical questions and emotional meaning.
01 / The feeling · Escape
One SDJ wearer describes Cheirosa 62 as a cold-day pick-me-up. It is a small, specific example of how the holiday feeling can travel beyond the holiday.
“Sol de Janiero 62, it’s a nice pick me up when it’s cold and crappy out”
02 / Everyday life · Seasonality
Wearers do not always follow the fragrance calendar. Summer associations can feel welcome in winter, while occasion, company and personal taste also shape what someone wears.
“I’m looking forward to wearing it on those dark, deep winter days when I need a little spritz of summer.”
“There are no strict rules, it's more a matter of time and places.”
For “autumn perfumes”, the recorded UK results included British Vogue’s 12 Intense Autumn Fragrances That Linger Long After Dark ↗.
03 / The choice · Discovery
UK shoppers describe needing more than a first impression, and the cost and difficulty of getting samples. With four EDPs, the launch can help someone try, compare and remember their favourite.
“I can't tell from a quick sniff in the shop if I'm gonna like it long term.”

The guide covers familiar smells, fragrance families and trying a scent on skin over time.
Watch the original ↗The findings are ordered by their relevance to the launch, bringing emotional appeal and practical choice together. Search volume is one part of that judgement.
Choosing a fragrance takes more than a quick sniff. UK shoppers describe the cost and difficulty of getting samples, then needing time to find out whether they really like a scent on their skin.
Some search groups checked for relevance↗02SDJ can bring a little summer into an ordinary grey day. One fragrance fan recommends Cheirosa 62 as a cold-day pick-me-up, showing that the holiday feeling can travel well beyond the holiday.
Some search groups checked for relevance↗03People do not always follow the fragrance calendar. A summery scent can brighten a cold day, while a sweeter one can feel cosy in winter and too much in the heat.
Exploratory search data↗04Perfume can lift a mood, but it can also help people stay with a feeling they already have. SDJ has room to talk about comfort, confidence and quieter moments as well as joy.
Exploratory search data↗05Loving the smell is not enough if it fades before the day is over. People want to know how a fragrance will wear through their actual routine, including whether they will need to reapply.
Some search groups checked for relevance↗06Some older women already love SDJ, but its teenage image can make others wonder whether it’s for them. Make room for those women without losing the playfulness younger fans love.
Exploratory search data↗07“Smells like cookies” tells people something a list of perfume notes cannot. But the same sweetness can feel comforting to one person and too young for another.
Some search groups checked for relevance↗08Existing fans are asking for the scents they love with better staying power. The new EDPs need a clear explanation of what is different from an SDJ mist, not an assumption that everyone already understands.
Some search groups checked for relevance↗09Some people want one scent that feels like them. Others want a different scent for work, a date or a change of mood. Four new EDPs can help someone find their favourite without suggesting they need all four.
Some search groups checked for relevance↗10Fragrance is not only for going out. Some SDJ fans wear it after a shower or before bed, simply because they enjoy how it feels to them.
Some search groups checked for relevance↗11A fragrance can hold on to a person, a place or a chapter of someone’s life. The story people tell about it can matter more than the notes in the bottle.
Exploratory search data↗12People use fragrance to mark small wins and make ordinary days feel better. SDJ can celebrate those moments without making another purchase the point of the story.
Exploratory search data↗13Layering can make a familiar SDJ scent feel personal and lead people to try something new. It should feel like an invitation to play, not homework or a list of extra things to buy.
Exploratory search data↗14A compliment can turn fragrance into a moment of connection. But plenty of people wear it for their own enjoyment, and do not want their scent to fill the room.
Exploratory search data↗15“Is it worth it?” means different things to different shoppers: a smell they love, wear they can rely on, or a treat they enjoy. SDJ needs to show what the price buys in a real day.
Some search groups checked for relevance↗16“Come and make friends” is a big ask. A clear shared activity, and knowing it is fine to arrive alone, can give someone a more comfortable reason to turn up.
Exploratory search data↗17Brazilian culture becomes more meaningful when the people making it have a voice. SDJ can bring music, food and place into the launch through named collaborators with something of their own to say.
Exploratory search data↗01 / What we found
Choosing a fragrance takes more than a quick sniff. UK shoppers describe the cost and difficulty of getting samples, then needing time to find out whether they really like a scent on their skin.
02 / Why it matters
Sampling is a substantial measured search task. The conversations add the friction: access, cost and not knowing how a fragrance will feel after a few hours.
04 / The evidence
Reddit conversations
“Also I have no idea what to buy anymore because it takes me a long time to commit to an expensive purchase and I can't tell from a quick sniff in the shop if I'm gonna like it long term. Or how long it lasts, (I'm looking at you Boss Orange)”
One shopper describes the uncertainty of an expensive purchase and how long a fragrance lasts.
“I’m now realising it’s best to sample them but some of these sample costs I’m seeing to buy are at costs that are practically better of buying the real thing. I’ve been to the fragrance shop, boots and they don’t seem to have any samples… any recommendations of stores or even online that I haven’t heard of where I can do this? Would be much appreciated 🙏🤗”
A UK-focused request for places to sample. This historical account does not establish current store policy.
“Since I kept seeing Sol De Janeiro 62 should be perfect with Kayali (or any other) pistachio perfume, I decided to order the discovery set. Now I was wondering, what other layering combo’s do you all like? Give a girl some ideas ❤️!”
One person reports ordering an SDJ discovery set after seeing layering recommendations. An example, not a measured conversion effect.

01 / What we found
SDJ can bring a little summer into an ordinary grey day. One fragrance fan recommends Cheirosa 62 as a cold-day pick-me-up, showing that the holiday feeling can travel well beyond the holiday.
02 / Why it matters
The feeling of summer can travel beyond the season. In selected conversations, scent becomes a small change of scene, even when the weather stays exactly as it is.

“Sol de Janiero 62, it’s a nice pick me up when it’s cold and crappy out”
Cheirosa 62, described in a request for summer in a bottle.
“Another vote for Alien Goddess. I love it so much but I live in a humid area and find it too cloying when it’s hot+humid out. I’m looking forward to wearing it on those dark, deep winter days when I need a little spritz of summer.”
The same conversation, about Alien Goddess. A holiday association does not necessarily mean comfort in hot weather.
“To me, citrus is a happy note, so I wear citrus when I am cheerful. And sometimes I wear citrus scents when I am trying to cheer myself up.”
A broader fragrance account about citrus. Related mood evidence, not an SDJ product claim.

An account of wearing SDJ 71 after a shower or bath. A different everyday setting for scent.
A September request seeks a fragrance that feels like “summer forever” as the weather cools. The lead reply recommends Cheirosa 62 as a cold-day pick-me-up. The Alien Goddess reply comes from that same conversation.

People do not always follow the fragrance calendar. A summery scent can brighten a cold day, while a sweeter one can feel cosy in winter and too much in the heat.

“Another vote for Alien Goddess. I love it so much but I live in a humid area and find it too cloying when it’s hot+humid out. I’m looking forward to wearing it on those dark, deep winter days when I need a little spritz of summer.”
“though I mostly buy small decants or 5ml bottles, so it’s not actually a massive volume- I just really like having variety and being able to match my perfume to my mood! Usually I wear two per day, with work fragrances being light and pleasant and more “professional”, and evening/sleep fragrances being as comfy, atmospheric or downright weird as I like.”
“I sprayed some Angel on my wrist earlier, and I found that the heat of the day (32 degrees today in the UK woohoo! ☀️) really brought the notes out.”
“There are no strict rules, it's more a matter of time and places. If you're going to the gym or a sauna, or taking a 12 hours flight, or going to the hospital for a medical visit, all of these in the middle of winter... don't wear a strong, cloying perfume. Basically, be mindful of people around you. If you want to wear the sweetest, most sirupy cloying fragrance in your collection when you're alone at home and it's 35°C, treat yourself. But if you're at the office and you're 3 people in a tiny room....”

“For me, Nest Indigo layered with Nest Wisteria Blue embodied my sadness. Nest Indigo smells medicinal on my skin and I really didn't like that. As it turns out, that medicinal accord that I didn't like, was the thing that resonated with my sadness. Indigo layered with Blue Wisteria (by Nest) smelled so much like how I felt (sad but trying to be optimistic) that I was basically wearing my emotions.”

“Honestly, No. 40 is where it's at. I'm pushing 40 (age 😅) and I thought I had looonggg outgrown my body spray era but this is my every day fragrance. It is absolute perfection. Makes me feel weird knowing teenagers/tweens love it.”
“As someone who came of age in the 2010s, I see the SDJ mists as a more sophisticated upgrade of the Victoria's Secret scents. I never liked the VS scents because they smelled cheap to me. I have all but one of the SDJ mists because they smell nice and fun, yet sophisticated, if that makes sense.”
“I haven’t tried their scents yet, but I remember all the hype about how their bumbum cream was the best smelling thing ever, smells like youre on vacation, divine, addictive, etc etc So I bought it and was so underwhelmed! It was just a strong very sweet synthetic artificial scent to me, and the cream itself wasn’t good. Just felt cheap? So I’m hesitant to try their perfumes. I am 32 so I don’t think it’s age.”
“I'm 26F and I really like the sweeter, fruitier scents but open to any suggestions. This is what I have right now but I'm looking to expand. I don't know the first bottle's name nor origin, the second is Sweet Tooth by Sabrina Carpenter (Me Expresso), and Sol de Janeiro (68). I also have Ariana Grande (Mod Vanilla) but it's not pictured.”

Mist, Intense mist and eau de parfum can blur together for shoppers. Some requests name familiar Cheirosa scents, which does not mean the new EDP collection is the product they have in mind.

“I know that they have body butters which is great. But I’m extra lol and would love if they came out with body lotions/creams. I know they have an edp for 62 but if they came out with edps for ALL their scents they’d make more money. Also body washes too, I’ve been looking for the 59 body wash everywhere and can’t find it sadly. LASTLY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE THE SCENTS STRONGER YES I KNOW ITS A BODY MIST BUT WTH”
“Hi. I absolutely LOVE SDJ 62 mist and want a PERFUME that smells very similar to it. Given that SDJ is a mist, it has low performance hence looking for a perfume version of it. I have a body/shower gel that smells like it and want a perfume to layer it with. Budget - around 4-5k.”

Give creators a simple side-by-side guide to the formats, using confirmed product details. Show what each new EDP smells like and how it wears, and be explicit about whether it is a new scent or a version of a familiar one.
01 / What we found
Some people want one scent that feels like them. Others want a different scent for work, a date or a change of mood. Four new EDPs can help someone find their favourite without suggesting they need all four.
02 / Why it matters
The conversations range from a single favourite to small rotations and larger collections. For some, more choice is fun; for others, it makes choosing harder.
04 / The evidence
Reddit conversations
“I have : Rainy day scents, hot sunny day scents, winter scents, fall/spring scents, “clean”/light scents, neutral days, going out scents, I-feel-pretty scents and Fear Me scents (important work days).”
“I think a wardrobe only needs fragrances that the person likes AND will wear.”

Observed query
“signature scent vs fragrance wardrobe”
The answer compares simplicity and recognition with variety by mood or occasion. It also offers a hybrid: one default scent plus a small rotation. Its suggested collection size is not a demonstrated consumer need.
Consistency and variety are treated as different preferences.
A favourite plus a few alternatives is also presented as valid.

“I have been on a buying spree lately. On the one hand, I tell myself if I can afford it and it makes me happy, what's the harm? Lots of people collect things and spend money on other hobbies or interests -- what makes this any different? On the other hand, the consumerism aspect and constant “need” for acquisition makes me feel icky and guilty at times.”

“I’m 28F and since leaving uni I’ve found it quite hard to make new friends, especially as I don’t drink, so a lot of the usual pub/bar-based socialising isn’t really my thing.”
“What matters most is doing something that you enjoy, and something that is regular (ideally weekly) as a one-off or quarterly thing just won't work.”
“Plus, what if I had to move cities again? Most advice on making friends includes trying new hobbies - but what if I have enough hobbies and all I want is just to meet people in the most efficient way and I’m not interested in joining another tennis club or going on hikes?”
“Recently I thought to try it and I signed up. After signing up for the free week I tried to access one of the events. When I did I saw there was a price for a ticket and it confused me a lot. I tried to get a ticket to which it then bugged me to get a membership and I ended up paying £14.99. I then went back and found I would have to pay an additional £19.99 for the ticket.”

How we approached the research
We explored fragrance conversations, estimated UK search demand, and the content appearing in Google and AI Overviews to identify useful questions for the Sol de Janeiro launch. Each source tells us something different.
Ahrefs estimates monthly UK Google searches. We review query meaning before using totals. Twelve original sets have accepted relevance partitions; 40 original sets are still not fully audited.
Never add overlapping themes or treat volume as people, sales or future EDP demand.
Reddit accounts were selected for relevant experiences and counterpoints, not sampled to represent an audience. Exact quotations retain their dates and source links.
They illustrate experiences. They do not establish prevalence, age profiles or causal effects.
One purposive UK query per theme, observed on 24 September 2026. Content formats and creator appearances describe that observation.
They are not stable ranking, reach or effectiveness measures. AI Overview wording is not scientific substantiation.
The research brings together 17 questions relevant to the launch. Findings and recommendations are distinguished throughout. Broader fragrance research does not establish the new EDPs’ benefits; search groups still awaiting a full relevance check remain labelled.
Being noticed.
Feeling close.
01 / What we found
A compliment can turn fragrance into a moment of connection. But plenty of people wear it for their own enjoyment, and do not want their scent to fill the room.
02 / Why it matters
Accounts of compliments sit alongside a wish for something more personal and close to the skin. At work or in shared spaces, consideration for other people also shapes what someone wears.

Personal editorial claim of universal appeal not validated; no perfume is certified risk-free to blind buy.
Make room for different kinds of presence.
Tell the story behind a real compliment or a shared scent memory, rather than promising that a fragrance will attract attention. Include the pleasure of enjoying it just for yourself.
No compliment probability, attractiveness effect, safe spray count or causal social success inferred. Votes are not sentiment weights. Current mist/brand discussion does not substantiate future EDP performance or exact new-product demand.
