What is Solid Perfume?
Solid perfume is a unique fragrance formulation available in a convenient balm or compact form, as opposed to traditional liquid sprays.

This formulation allows for a discreet yet delightful way to enjoy your favorite scents.

How to Apply
Applying solid perfume is a straightforward process that ensures you enjoy the fragrance to its fullest. Follow these simple guidelines for the best application:
- Pulse Points: Apply the solid perfume to pulse points such as the wrists, behind the ears, and the base of the throat for optimal scent diffusion.
- How Much: A little goes a long way—start with a small amount and build up as needed for your desired intensity.
- Reapply: Depending on your activities and skin type, you may need to reapply throughout the day to maintain the fragrance's presence.

Layering Guide
Layering fragrances is an art that can elevate your scent experience. To achieve a balanced and unique fragrance profile, consider the following step-by-step routine:
Pairings by Scent Family
Begin by identifying the scent family of your solid perfume. Common scent families include floral, oriental, woody, and fresh. Here’s how to pair:
- Floral: Pair with a light musk or citrus for a fresh twist.
- Oriental: Combine with spicy or woody undertones for depth.
- Woody: Layer with an earthy scent or a hint of sweetness.
- Fresh: Mix with green notes or herbal fragrances for uplift.
Simple Examples
For a practical example of layering, start with your base scent, apply it to your pulse points, and then apply a complementary fragrance lightly over the top. By using a refillable solid perfume, you can mix and match to your heart's desire, creating a dimension of scent that is uniquely yours.
Refills & Sustainability
The concept of solid perfume aligns perfectly with sustainability. Each compact is designed for refilling, allowing you to reduce waste and enjoy long-lasting fragrances.
- How Refills Work: After your solid perfume has run out, simply purchase a refill package. This allows you to enjoy a fresh scent without needing to replace the entire compact.
- Care & Storage: To ensure longevity, store your solid perfume in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid exposing it to excessive heat, which can alter its quality.
- Minimal Waste: With refillable options, you are contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle by decreasing the amount of single-use packaging.
