My discovery of the Rosa Charmosa scent obsession

I first heard about the Sol De Janeiro Rosa Charmosa Dewy Cream through a viral video in early January. As a fan of the Cheirosa 62 and 68 scents, I was skeptical that a new 'gourmand' floral could top them. However, after seeing the rave reviews for the Cheirosa 91 fragrance profile, I knew I had to get my hands on it. The cream promises a dewy, luminous finish that sounded perfect for the humid weather we experience here in Singapore.

The invisible barrier for Singapore beauty lovers

I quickly realized that getting this cream wouldn't be as simple as walking into a local Sephora. Even in February 2026, many of the newest Sol De Janeiro releases are subject to significant regional delays. I noticed that while the US store was fully stocked, the Singapore market was either facing a massive markup or simply had no estimated arrival date. This is the hidden barrier we often face with viral beauty launches; the most sought-after products stay exclusive to the US for months.

Why Cheirosa 91 is the gourmand profile of 2026

My research into the fragrance notes explained the hype. It is a sophisticated blend that balances sweetness with a fresh floral undertone. We have seen a shift in 2026 toward 'heavier' gourmand scents that still feel breathable. Because the Rosa Charmosa Dewy Cream is significantly cheaper in the US compared to the inflated prices I saw from local resellers, I decided to take the international shopping route.

Shipping logistics and my cost estimates

Before I committed to the purchase, I had to figure out if the shipping would outweigh the savings. I used a shipping calculator to get a rough idea of the total landed cost. Here is the breakdown of what I estimated for a single 240ml (8.1 fl oz) tub of the cream.

I checked the international shipping rates to ensure I wasn't overspending on the transit. By consolidating this with a few other skincare items, I managed to keep the per-item shipping cost very low.

How I used a tax-free US address to shop

I realized that the official Sol De Janeiro US site doesn't ship directly to Singapore. To get around this, I signed up for comGateway. They provided me with a tax-free US address based in Oregon, which meant I didn't have to pay any US sales tax on my purchase. This saved me an extra 7% to 10% right off the bat.

I followed their how it works guide to make sure I entered the address correctly at checkout. I encountered a small snag when my local credit card was flagged by the US merchant, but I simply used the BuyForMe service to have their team handle the purchase for me. You might also like to check our guide on proxy shopping if you frequently shop from stores that restrict non-US credit cards.

Managing the 2026 Singapore GST and import rules

My package arrived at the warehouse quickly, and I was ready to ship it home. I made sure to double-check the current rules for import duties and the 9% GST/VAT that applies to all goods imported into Singapore in 2026. Because I kept my total haul value within reasonable limits, the process was seamless.

I chose a reliable international shipping service through the platform, which gave me tracking updates all the way to my doorstep in Serangoon. Using an international shipping provider that understands the Singapore customs landscape saved me from any unexpected paperwork. If you are planning a larger haul, check our guide on customs tax to see how to optimize your shipment value.

In the end, I saved about 30% compared to what the few local resellers were charging, and I have the peace of mind knowing my Sol De Janeiro Rosa Charmosa Dewy Cream is the real deal. If you're tired of waiting for local stock, I highly recommend you shop us store options and ship them yourself.
