Also known as cream perfumes, solid perfumes are soft, intimate fragrances with an alcohol- free wax base that melts into the skin, holding the fragrance close. Instead of being surrounded by a momentary fragrance cloud, you’ll have the scent with you throughout the day.
When it comes to applying solid fragrances, you can follow how you apply their Eau de Parfum counterparts. While they can’t be sprayed, you can apply in the same places. Simply press your finger into the solid perfume to warm the wax and then dab wherever you’d like a lingering scent, from skin to clothing.
How to Use Solid Perfumes
To use a solid perfume, slide it open and press your finger into the scented base or apply directly to your pulse points. Pulse points are where your body gives off the most heat, including the inside of your wrists and elbows or behind the ears. You can also run the fragrant wax through your hair for a more subtle scent application. Once the solid perfume has been completely used up, you can easily refill it.
The best part about solid perfumes? They’re totally portable. Take it wherever you go and leave your liquid fragrance at home.
How and Where to Apply Solid Perfumes
If you’re new to the world of solid fragrances, you’re probably wondering where to apply solid perfumes for long-lasting scent. Here are some of our favorite places to apply this fragrant, balm-like perfume alternative.
At the Wrist
A common pulse-point, the wrist offers a great application point for perfume that will last longer. When applied to the wrist, all you need is a dab or two of the solid perfume for long-lasting fragrance that you can take with you. Apply as many times as you need to get the fragrance level you’re after and make sure not to wash your hands immediately after - you’ll rinse off the scent!
At the Neck
Another traditional location, the neck is a great place to apply solid perfumes for long-lasting fragrance.
At Pulse Points
As we mentioned before, pulse points such as the wrist or neck are a great place to apply solid perfumes. These locations are where the veins are closest to the surface of the skin, which allows for more warmth from the body to heat the fragrance for a longer-lasting scent.
In Your Hair, Beard or Mustache
Did you know that solid perfumes can be used as a conditioner for your hair, beard or mustache? A more interesting method of applying solid perfumes, this application will help to soften facial hairs with the natural oils that are contained within the fragrance. It can also double as hair wax!
At the Cuticles, Hands or Feet
Due to their moisturizing properties, solid perfumes can also serve as a cuticle or foot cream to soothe and soften dry skin. It’s a great option to use during the winter season for dry elbows, forearms and knees, too. Common solid perfume ingredients such as jojoba oil, castor oil, olive oil and waxes help to moisturize dry skin.
Benefits of Solid Perfumes
1.Safety: contain 0% alcohol with safe, clean ingredients; paraben-, sulfate- and phthalate- free. 2.Ease: all it takes to apply is a swirl of the finger and a dab on the skin. 3.Portability: most solid perfumes are about the size of a matchbox or smaller, making them easy to carry with you.
A Skin-Friendly Alternative
Because they are hydrating and moisturizing, solid perfumes are a great option for dry skin. They can be applied throughout the body to soothe the skin and provide long-lasting fragrance.
No Leaks Here!
Traveling with your perfume is no longer stressful - solid perfumes are leak-free and easy to throw in your carry-on or checked bag for fragrance while on-the-go. Small in size and light in weight, solid perfumes are easy to travel with, no matter where you’re headed.
Less Waste, Long-Lasting Fragrance
Solid perfumes are typically applied to targeted areas in small amounts rather than being sprayed in a cloud like traditional liquid perfumes, offering less waste and more fragrance. Because they are anhydrous, they have no water and will also last much longer.
