Brazilian winter beauty guide: high‑lasting perfumes, hair and scalp care tips

With colder temperatures arriving in Brazil, experts highlight seven national perfumes that offer strong staying power for winter. The selections include OOud by Granado (oud, cedar, patchouli – R$185), 007 Idée Fixe by Lenvie (amber, bergamot – R$339), 740 Sândalo Breu Branco by Naturamarca (Amazonian resin – R$395), Segredo by Tania Bulhões (pink pepper, leather – R$520), Vetiver + Lavender by Becquer (tobacco, lavender – R$588), Magnetic Amber by Felisa (amber, vanilla – R$820) and Amyi 5.22 by Amyi (caramelized tobacco – R$860).

Hair care advice for the season stresses using lukewarm water instead of hot showers, regular hydrating treatments, applying vegetable‑oil‑based products or leave‑ins, overnight oil treatments for curly hair, and protecting hair with a thermal guard while avoiding sleeping with wet hair.

For scalp comfort, five products are recommended: Match Ciência das Curvas Revitalizing Serum (R$44.90) to soothe itching, Amend Calm Mask (R$78.90) to balance oil, TRUSS Equilibrium Scalp Mask (R$189.99) for quick relief, L'Occitane Aromacologia Night Calm Serum (R$239) for overnight restoration, and Davines Naturaltech Calming Superactive Serum (R$649) for sensitive scalps.
