Solid perfumes: the portable and alcohol-free fragrance
Solid perfumes are compact fragrances made from vegetable waxes and perfumed oils, applied directly to the skin with the fingers. Portable format, alcohol-free, ideal for travel, pockets, and bags.
Characteristics of solid perfumes
Solid perfume is soft on the skin, develops more slowly, with a contained sillage and a longevity that varies from 3 to 6 hours. It's a perfect format for those looking for an intimate, discreet fragrance that can be easily reapplied.
Advantages of solid perfume
Portable everywhere (compatible with airplane liquid restrictions), alcohol-free (more tolerated by sensitive skin), precise dosage (applied only where needed). Also excellent as a complement to a liquid perfume, for reapplication throughout the day.
