Does the term solid perfume confuse you? Well, it is simply a perfume or scent with a balm-like consistency instead of a liquid, similar to a lip balm. They can be carried in lip-balm style tubes or other small containers. They are known to last much longer than the usual perfume and are also very convenient to carry around. A lot of liquid perfumes contain alcohol to help them evaporate when sprayed. A solid perfume doesn’t need any help drying so generally won’t contain any alcohol or other irritants; so no reservations whatsoever! If you’re travelling with perfume in your cosmetic bag or just have it stashed in your dresser or cupboard at home, a solid perfume is not going to leak and cause a mess!
You will be glad to know that handmade solid perfumes are also available easily. If you hate big brands which ultimately fails to bring any uniqueness in their products, handmade is the saviour of individuality. No two perfumes will be the same; each fragrance will be one of a kind. In a world where uniqueness is shunned and big brands try hard for generating aspiration; going back to the world of handmade is a refreshing concept. Fragrance preferences are very personal; the smell of a rose invokes different feeling to different people. SO why wear perfumes which everyone else is wearing! Handmade is back!
