Sol de Janeiro is adding a café-inspired fragrance with Leite Café, giving wearers an easy way to carry a creamy coffee note beyond the morning cup. The scent turns a familiar drink pairing into perfume, combining roasted coffee with coconut milk for a warm, lingering finish.
That mix keeps the profile closer to a latte than a dessert, with the toasted side of coffee balanced by a softer, milky feel. Leite Café is available only at Ulta Beauty and the brand's website, making it a more directed find for shoppers already in beauty mode. It also pushes everyday scent toward familiar food cues, where wearability matters as much as the aroma itself.
