What is Solid Perfume?

Solid perfume, also sometimes known as a 'Dry Perfume' date back to ancient civilisations. Much like a Balm, these solid fragrances are made by combining essential oils, absolutes, floral waxes, resins and other natural ingredients to create a compact, portable solid scent.

Unlike traditional liquid perfumes, which often contain alcohol and synthetic additives, Natural Wisdom solid perfumes are alcohol-free and artisan-made in small freshly made batches from premium-grade natural and organic botanical ingredients. This makes them a great alternative option for those looking for natural alternatives to artificial, mass produced fragrances.

What is a Solid Cologne?

Just like solid perfume, solid cologne is a concentrated fragrance in a balm-like form, designed to appeal specifically for men and those who prefer more masculine scents which tend to be less floral. Solid colognes often have a more robust scent profile, incorporating more base notes that create distinct masculine aromas.

At Natural Wisdom Organics, our solid colognes are crafted from the same high-quality, vegan ingredients that define our ethos, offering a natural alternative to conventional colognes.

Are Solid Perfumes & Colognes Better Than Liquid Perfumes & Colognes?

The answer to this question often depends on personal preference. However, there are many reasons why solid perfumes are considered superior to conventional mass produed liquid spray perfumes & Colognes:

1. Natural Ingredients: Our Solid perfumes do not contain synthetic chemicals, making them far more gentle on the skin and better for those with sensitivities. The large wax molecules also help to keep the essential oils from passing through the skin. 

2. Long-Lasting: The wax base tends to hold fragrances much longer than alcohol-based liquids, allowing for a more enduring scent experience.

3. Portability: Solid perfumes are easy to carry and apply on the go, making them perfect for travel or daily touch-ups.

4. Personal scent : Have you ever sat on a bus or a train or a plane & had to suffer the unpleasant silage of a person nearby wearing too much perfume or aftershave?

This just does'nt happen with solid perfume & colognes. The only people able to experience your scent will be those fortunate enough to get so close to you as to be able to see your individual eyelashes. Solid scents are intimate & personal, they enhance your unique fragrance in a way that is never too much.

How Do You Use Solid Perfume?

Using solid perfume is a mindful ritual, calming and intuitive. Here’s how you can incorporate it into your self-care ritual:

1. Warm It Up: you can use the warmth of a finger to gently warm the balm. This helps the perfume melt and release its fragrance. You can also use the back of a nail to scrape a little from your Perfume Pod and apply to your skin where it will soften from the warmth of your body, where it will begin releasing the multiple layers of fragrance.

2. Apply: Apply a very small amount on pulse points such as wrists, neck, or behind the ears. The warmth of your body will enhance the scent's projection. Solid perfumes can also be applied to the forearms and shoulders where they will diffuse beautifully through clothing. 

3. Layer: For a unique fragrance experience, blend different solid scents together to create a personalized blend that resonates with your mood.

Do Solid Perfumes Last Long?

Oh Yes! Solid perfumes are well known for their longevity. The wax and oil base used in solid perfumes creates a barrier on the skin, allowing the fragrance to linger throughout the day. Many users report that they can still detect the scent many hours after application, making it a very cost-effective choice.
