ICYMI: Solid perfume is having a moment.
And, not to mention, they wont ever spill in your purse.
Imagine that…
What is solid perfume?
Solid perfume is exactly as it sounds: Its the solid form of a fragrance.
They are similar in consistency to a solid lotion bar or a lip balm.
Is solid or spray perfume better?
…
Like so many things, its subjective.
It depends on what the wearer is looking for from their fragrance, Trillaud says.
They are incredibly different formats, each with their own set of strengths.
Now, if youre wondering which is better for travel, theres no comparison.
Solid perfumes are perfect for travel because of their compact nature and their leak-proof non-liquid base, Trillaud says.
The Glossier You Solid is the most popular solid perfume on the market, by a long shot.
Its also a more sustainable option since the compact case can be refilled over and over again.
(The brand sells refills separately for $20.)
Diptyque, Philosykos Solid Perfume $68.00
Smells like:A grove of Mediterranean fig trees.
…
Derek Lam 10 Crosby, 2 AM Kiss $19.00
Smells like: Warm, salted caramel.
Lush is a one-stop shop for solid perfumes as almost all of their scents are sold in solid form.
Just pop off the lid and swipe on your wrists, neck, or collarbone.
The Aerin Joyful Bloom Solid Perfume is another great choice for anyone craving a fruity, floral fragrance.
And, speaking of the shiny gold compact: Its gorgeous.
TonyMoly, Bebe Bunny Perfume Bar $12.00
Smells like:A creamsicle.
If youre shopping on looks alone, the TONYMOLY Pocket Bunny Perfume Bar is worth considering.
At $12 a stick, you might as well bring home all three rabbits.
Le Sable, Solid Perfume $59.00
Smells like:Warm, sandy beaches.
This sweet almond oil-based solid perfume is designed to bring images of a beach to mind.
Doesnt hurt that the compact makes for a chic accessory, either.
