My personal blueprint for snagging Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 76 from the US and shipping to Taiwan

Why the Cheirosa 76 scent is viral right now

I was browsing TikTok recently and noticed my feed was absolutely flooded with people obsessed with the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 76 Perfume Mist. If you remember the 'After Hours' limited edition from a while back, this is basically that same iconic 'midnight jasmine' scent, but now it is part of the permanent collection. It has these amazing notes of black currant, pear nectar, and vanilla that make it smell way more high-end than your typical body mist.

In Taiwan, I noticed that trying to find this locally is a nightmare. Resellers are charging double the price, and half the time they don't even have it in stock. I always keep an eye on us trends to see what products are dropping, and right now, the US retailers like Sephora and the official Sol de Janeiro site are fully stocked at much better prices.

My step-by-step plan for buying from US stores

Since these brands don't ship directly to Taipei, I had to figure out a reliable way to get my haul home. My first step is always setting up a tax-free us address. This allows me to shop us store sites just like a local would, which saves a ton of money on US sales tax right off the bat.

Once I have my items ready, I use a freight forwarder to handle the heavy lifting. I've found that using comGateway is the easiest way to forward packages because they provide a clear address in Oregon. This is how I manage my international shipping without getting confused by complicated logistics.

Estimated shipping specs for your package

Before you hit the checkout button, I want to share the logistics data I gathered so you can plan your budget. I used the shipping calculator to get these numbers for the 240ml bottle of Cheirosa 76.

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 0.8 lbs (0.4 kg) per bottle
Box Dimensions Small (Approx. 8 x 4 x 4 inches)
Volumetric Warning Low risk. This item is compact and dense, so volumetric weight shouldn't exceed actual weight.
Battery Check No lithium batteries. This is a liquid fragrance mist.

Keep in mind that because this is a liquid/fragrance mist, it may be subject to specific international shipping rates or handling requirements for flammable liquids. I suggest checking the latest rules on the international shipping service page before ordering a large quantity.

The BuyForMe solution for blocked credit cards

One problem I ran into while trying to buy from US ship to Taiwan is that some stores, especially Sephora and even the main Sol de Janeiro site, can be very picky. They often block international credit cards or cancel orders that use a known parcel forwarding service address.

This is where I used the BuyForMe service. Basically, we tell comGateway what we want, and they buy it for us using a US-based domestic credit card. It is a form of proxy shopping that guarantees the order actually goes through. If you are tired of seeing "Order Cancelled" emails, this is the safest way to make sure your perfume actually makes it to the warehouse.

What I learned about Taiwan import tax

When you finally arrange your Taiwan delivery, you need to be aware of the import tax rules. In 2026, the de minimis threshold in Taiwan remains relatively strict. If your total shipment value (including shipping) exceeds TWD 2,000, you might get hit with duties.

I usually try to consolidate my items to save on international shipping, but I stay mindful of the frequency rule—if you import more than six times in a half-year period, you'll be taxed regardless of the value. I've used ship to Taiwan services many times, and as long as you keep your EZ WAY app updated, the process is pretty smooth.

I hope this helps you get your hands on that Cheirosa 76! It really is the best scent of 2026 so far, and getting it directly from the US is the only way to avoid those massive local price hikes.
