Come buy an eleven-dollar bottle of "Little Girl"…
Jadson Andre, a Brazilian who is five-feet-seven and one hundred and fifty-five pounds (a little man), is the world number fifteen and represents, if you’re into this sorta thing, the struggle of the determined poor.
This ain’t a kid who grew up in the privileged surf ghettos of southern California or south-west France or Australia.
Jadson was so poor that when he was a kid he got a two-dollar soccer ball for his birthday and it deflated, his dad wept ‘cause he couldn’t buy his little man another one.
Jadson’s mum said it was “one of the saddest days for them.”
The last eleven years on tour, both of ‘em, qualifiers and CT, have been relatively kind to Jadson. He stomped Kelly Slater into the dirt during his first-ever final in 2010 to win the the Billabong Pro in Brazil, and one way or the other, Jadson makes the cut for the Championship Tour each year.
And, now, Jadson, who is thirty-one, has become the face of Brazilian perfumer D’Sá, his woody notes of grit and resolve a primer for the emotions that wrap us like honey until they make us drown in an unrepeatable moment of wellbeing.
His signature fragrance is Chiquita, Portuguese for “little girl”, which, says the company’s liner notes, “is the essence of a true seducer, the warm and lush notes of whiskey and leather are highlighted. Majestic, elegant and slightly daring, this exquisite and extremely captivating fragrance is a tribute to masculinity.”
Bottles of Chiquita cost eleven dollars and can be ordered here.

Considering Matt has been pretty damn supportive of professional surfing overall, this just may be the lamest thing we’ve seen yet from the woozle. Poor Prodan must be shiting himself. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him or any other employee who calls themselves a real surfer resign. How much can one endure?
Poofume.
Probably needs it to cover up his stinky turns.
The real people’s champ.
Can’t believe the cunt’s still only 31.
Seems like 20 years ago he beat Kelly in that final….
My god, it smells like big foot’s dick!
More power to Jaddy tho, good on him
Damnson, why’d you give it such a corny name?!
I tried Little Girl and all it got me was 10 to 12 with good behavior
yall need to study portuguese asap…
they don’t even try. lol
And next on the chiquita line up is George Pell’s inspired scent
I’d get in a lot of trouble if I came home covered in the scent of a little girl
Whats so wrong woith notes of barcardi cruisers and maccas impregnated pleather?
Good on him for making the big time. But if I ever had to name a poo I would call it Jadson Andrei.
Nothing personal it’s just a poo kind of name.
My woman said she likes my “natural smell. I don’t think anyone else does, maybe thats why we’re still together?
I’ll stick to Brut
Does it repel sharks?
And Cougars!
No but it’ll make your hair fall out
Seems a top bloke that Jaddy.
But “…true seducer… notes of whiskey and leather… tribute to masculinity.”, sounds a bit more like Yago……
