The Beginning
Jequiti’s 2018 release Larissa Manoela Love continues the brand’s tradition of partnering with Brazilian celebrities to create scent stories that feel personal and playful. Named after the beloved actress Larissa Manoela, the perfume was crafted to capture the youthful energy she embodies, blending bright fruit with a soft floral heart.

The opening trio of mandarin orange, pear and jasmine creates a luminous, slightly tart fruit‑citrus spark that feels like sunrise over a Brazilian market. Moving into the heart, peony, freesia and rose build a powdery‑soft bouquet, echoing the delicate petals of tropical gardens. The base of iris, musk and vanilla grounds the composition with a velvety, slightly sweet finish that lingers like a gentle evening breeze.
The Evolution
At first spray, mandarin orange bursts forward, its zesty brightness cutting through the air like a splash of fresh juice, while pear adds a crisp, juicy sweetness and jasmine weaves a subtle floral thread. Within ten minutes the citrus fades, giving way to a soft, powdery heart where peony’s rosy creaminess meets freesia’s green‑fresh whisper and rose adds a classic, romantic depth. As the scent settles after the first hour, the base emerges: iris contributes a silky, slightly dry powder, musk adds an intimate animalic warmth, and vanilla rounds everything with a sweet, creamy veil. The drydown lingers for six to eight hours, staying close to the skin, offering a comforting trail that feels like a warm hug at sunset rather than an overpowering cloud.
Cultural Impact
Fans of actress Larissa Manoela often cite the scent as their go‑to everyday fragrance, linking its bright, youthful vibe to the star’s on‑screen charm. It has become a staple in Brazil’s celebrity‑inspired perfume scene, frequently mentioned alongside other Jequiti personality launches.
