Is it possible to get Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 76 in the Philippines without the massive markup? Here is the 2026 blueprint for US shopping

April 27, 2026

Have you been refreshing the Sephora PH page only to find that the new Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 76 is nowhere to be found? Launched just last week in the United States, Cheirosa 76 is the latest scent to join the viral lineup that includes the famous 59 and 68 mists. This new fragrance is described as a 'night-out' scent, featuring notes of midnight jasmine, blackcurrant, and amber wood. It is a more sophisticated, slightly darker take on the brand’s signature tropical vibe, and the beauty community in the Philippines is already buzzing about it.

Because it is currently a US-exclusive release, local resellers often hike up the prices to double or triple the original retail cost. If you want to get your hands on it at the actual US retail price, you will need to look toward the source: Sephora US or the official Sol de Janeiro US website.

The Philippines Availability Problem

The main issue for beauty lovers in Manila or Cebu is that these US storefronts do not offer direct international shipping to the Philippines. Even if they did, the shipping costs would likely be astronomical. Furthermore, perfume mists are considered sensitive items due to their alcohol content, meaning they require specific handling that standard postal services often cannot provide. This is where using a dedicated freight forwarder becomes essential to bridge the gap between a US warehouse and your home.

How to Buy Directly from US Stores

To start your shopping journey, you first need a place to send your goods within the United States. When you sign up for comGateway, you are assigned a tax-free us address in Oregon. This is a massive advantage because it allows you to avoid US sales tax, which can be as high as 10% in other states like California or New York. Once you have your address, you can shop us store sites just like a local resident would.

Before you check out, you might want to use a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost for your package. This helps you plan your budget and decide if you want to add more items to your shipment to maximize the weight limit.

The BuyForMe Solution for Sephora and Sol de Janeiro

Have you ever tried to check out on Sephora US only to have your order immediately cancelled? This is a common frustration for shoppers in the Philippines. Many top-tier US retailers like Sephora, Nike, and Apple have strict security filters that often block international credit cards or flag orders sent to known shipping hubs. If your card is declined even though you have the funds, you are likely hitting one of these retail walls.

This is exactly why the "BuyForMe" service is a total lifesaver. Instead of struggling with the checkout process yourself, you simply tell comGateway what you want to buy. Our team uses a US-registered domestic card and a local billing address to purchase the item on your behalf. This proxy shopping method is the safest way to ensure your Sol de Janeiro 'Cheirosa 76' order isn't cancelled. By letting us handle the transaction, you bypass the technical hurdles that prevent international fans from accessing US-only drops.

Shipping Your Perfume Mist to the Philippines

Once your Cheirosa 76 arrives at your Oregon warehouse, it is time to bring it home. Since perfumes are liquid and contain alcohol, they fall under specific shipping rules. You should check our guide on prohibited items to understand how we handle beauty products and any small additional fees for 'Dangerous Goods' handling that might apply to flammable liquids like perfume mists.

When you are ready to ship, you can choose between different carriers. Whether you prefer DHL international shipping for its speed or FedEx international shipping for its reliability, you can view the latest international shipping rates in your dashboard. Consolidating multiple items into one box is a great way to lower your overall fees per item.

Navigating Import Tax and Customs in the Philippines

One final thing to keep in mind is the Philippine customs policy. Currently, the 'De Minimis' value is 10,000 PHP. If your total shipment value (including shipping and insurance) is below this amount, you typically won't have to pay additional import tax or duties upon arrival. However, if you are planning a large haul of Sol de Janeiro products that exceeds this limit, you should be prepared for potential import duties.
