The Affordable Choice

Solid fragrances are usually the most affordable product in a designer or niche fragrance line. Modern artisan and indie perfumers offer a boundless supply of original solid fragrances at price points that are easy on the pocketbook.

The Environmental Choice

Fragrance bottles and boxes can be beautiful, but most fragrance collectors I know are not bottle collectors, too. The empty bottle and box go to the landfill and get replaced with a brand new bottle, in another cardboard box, wrapped in more cellophane.

By contrast, many solid fragrances are sold in recycled, recyclable and/or zero waste packaging that can be refilled or repurposed when the fragrance is gone.

The Personal Choice

Our 21st century world is saturated in scent. Sometimes it’s too much of a good thing! Solid fragrances offer us an opportunity to dial things back a bit, while still enjoying beautiful aromas. Solids are applied in the most intimate manner, by direct contact with the skin, and without dispering fragrance to other surfaces or the air. The sillage on solid fragrances generally stays closer to the body and is less likely to disturb others.
