Using solid perfumes is a new beauty trend.
This is a cosmetic product similar to a perfume balm, without alcohol, a self-care fragrance, for both women and men.
It is true that the concept of solid perfume is still relatively new in the minds of many people.
However, the first solid perfume appeared in ancient Egypt. At that time, it was a sacred ointment offered as a gift to the gods. It was made from aromatic plant materials (such as cinnamon, myrrh, and cardamom) or animal materials (such as musk, ambergris, and beeswax). From the 14th century onward, solid perfume was eclipsed by the first ethyl-based perfumes. It was in 1925, when the Molinard perfume house created Concreta, that solid perfume made a comeback. Indeed, Concreta was the first solid perfume made from fragrant plant waxes and presented in a wooden box. Currently, this traditional perfume is reappearing in stick or balm form, with different packaging depending on the brand.
Intimate, charming, and practical, solid perfume, also called "concrete", has many advantages.
The solid perfume is alcohol-free
The main difference between solid perfumes and ethanol-based perfumes lies in their consistency. Made with water, wax, vegetable butters, and oils, solid perfumes contain no alcohol. The scents in solid perfumes are diluted in wax or vegetable butter. Ideal for travel, solid perfume is a cosmetic that delicately perfumes the skin without any risk. Upon contact with the warmth of the skin, the perfume melts and releases its natural scent.
Solid perfume is a practical product
Small and compact, solid perfume can be taken everywhere. Whether in balm or stick form, its container easily slips into a handbag, allowing for touch-ups throughout the day.
Solid perfume is a cosmetic that lasts a long time on the skin.
Made without alcohol and based on fatty elements, solid perfumes are highly concentrated beauty products whose scent doesn't evaporate. Therefore, they may be less prominent initially in the top notes but will last all day.
Be sure to apply your solid perfume to the pulse points of your body, such as your temples, neck, the nape of your neck, the backs of your knees, the insides of your elbows and wrists, behind your earlobes, and around your navel. Applying it to these pulse points will allow the scent to diffuse throughout the day.
Solid perfume is an elegant product
Solid perfume is a beauty product steeped in history and still retains an elegant and precious quality today. Moreover, this way of applying perfume is very feminine. Using fingertips, a small amount of perfume is applied to the nape of the neck, a sensual and delicate gesture.
Solid perfume is an eco-friendly product.
Highly concentrated, its small size makes it lighter to carry. This beauty product also contains less solvent.
