What is Solid Perfume?
Solid perfume is a unique and versatile fragrance format that combines a concentrated scent with a base made from natural wax.

The wax base acts as a stabilizing agent, allowing the fragrance to linger longer and providing a smooth application experience.

How to Apply
Applying solid perfume is a delightful experience. To maximize your scent's impact, follow these simple guidelines:
- Pulse Points: The best place to apply perfume is on pulse points, such as your wrists, neck, and behind your ears, where the scent can radiate warmth.
- How Much to Apply: Start with a small amount—just a fingertip’s worth is enough. You can always reapply if desired.
- Reapply: Solid perfumes can be re-applied throughout the day. Depending on the scent profile, you may need to touch up after a few hours.
- Longevity Tips: For a longer-lasting fragrance, moisturize your skin before application. The wax base will adhere better to hydrated skin.
