The solid cosmeticsto It has been making a place for itself in the toiletry bag for years. Soaps, shampoos, conditioners, sunscreens, blushes, makeup bases and also perfumes. Solid fragrances are not new, on the contrary, they have existed for centuries, and although they seemed forgotten, there are more and more beauty brands that are betting on them. Painted Hopea Dior perfume expert, tells us that “solid perfumes have existed since the time of the egyptians. They used wax cones that they wore on their heads so that they would melt in the heat throughout the day.

Advantages and disadvantages of solid perfumes
A solid perfume is made with a wax or oil basedto which the chords and notes are added, which will give it the smell. In addition to the format, the main difference with traditional perfume is that It does not contain alcohol or water. Its elaboration is, therefore, more sustainableand normally, more artisanal than that of liquid perfumes. Furthermore, the absence of alcohol makes it a more suitable option for sensitive skin.
Esperanza Pintado points to another advantage of the solid format: «the comfort. It is so light that we can carry it in our bag and apply it throughout the day. In the case of Dior Mini Miss, it hydrates, leaves the skin soft and its texture is very pleasant. For traveling they are also more practical, since you do not have to check them in if you go by plane.
Experts assure that the fixation of solid perfumes is greater than that of liquid ones, because it is applied to a specific area and the fragrance is not lost in the air, although it also depends on the formula used. However, the drawback is that it “only allows perfume a limited area. The result is less bulky, it is more appreciated at short distances,” says Esperanza Pintado.
How to use solid perfume
Within the solid perfumes we can find the stick format, which It is applied directly to the areas we want to perfumeusually pulse ones, to achieve greater projection of the fragrance: wrists, neck, inside of the elbow, knee, etc. You just have to apply the bar in place, using circular movements.
Another option is those that come in a compact or box, similar to lip balms. To apply the latter, Begoña GómezYves Rocher treatment expert, advises: «take a small amount of product with the pads of the thumb, index and ring fingers and massage them for 5 seconds so that it melts slightly. Then they are applied to the wrists, neck, inside the elbow and knee joints, the area under the chest, the navel and the back of the neck. Another option, so that the aroma remains for longer hours, is to make a double application, according to the expert: “spread it straight out of the shower, when the pores are more open and absorb the product better, and repeat the application two hours later.” Finally, some solid perfumes have a spray version, so they can also be used together to increase their hold.
