Parfum de peau
Do you like to wear perfume, but are you looking for a solution that is more environmentally friendly and easier to transport? Then solid perfumes are made for you! These scented balms, which have existed since Antiquity, are composed of natural materials and offer a wide range of scents. Discover the benefits and characteristics of these perfumes like no other.
What is solid perfume?
A solid perfume, also called perfume concrete, is a balm that contains essential oils and/or plant extracts, as well as a fat such as cocoa butter, shea butter or beeswax. It comes in the form of a small pot, a stick or a pendant, which you can slip into your bag or pocket. To perfume yourself, simply rub the balm on the skin, in the places where you want to smell good. The ideal is to target pulsation zones. These are the areas where heat circulates the most, such as the neck, the nape of the neck, the wrists or the crooks of the elbows.
What are the advantages of a solid perfume?
Solid perfumes have many advantages over liquid perfumes. They are :
- Often more ecological: they are made from natural ingredients and do not contain preservatives, colorings or chemicals, apart from those contained in the perfume concentrate. Compact and space-saving, solid perfumes require fewer raw materials and less packaging than traditional eau de toilette, which significantly reduces their carbon footprint and packaging waste.
- More practical: they are easy to transport, without risk of leaking or breakage. They are suitable for air travel, as they are not subject to liquid restrictions. They are discreet because they do not leave marks on clothes or hair.
- More respectful of the skin: they do not contain alcohol which can dry out the skin. They are sometimes enriched with cocoa butter, shea butter or beeswax, which have moisturizing, nourishing and protective properties.
Solid perfumes are therefore an ecological and practical alternative to liquid perfumes, which are attracting more and more perfume lovers. They allow you to perfume yourself in a natural, lasting and original way. They are also a way to express your personality and your mood, by choosing the perfume that suits you best.

The choice of a solid perfume depends on several criteria, such as:
- The composition: it is important to check the list of ingredients, to avoid allergenic or irritating substances if you are concerned. It is preferable to favor solid perfumes ensuring good traceability of raw materials.
- Scent: there is a wide variety of solid perfumes, which can be classified into different olfactory families, such as floral, oriental, woody, citrus, chypre, fern and aromatic. You have to choose the solid perfume that matches your tastes, your style and your mood. It is possible to test a solid perfume by applying it to the wrist or elbow, and letting it evolve for a few minutes. It should also be taken into account that solid perfume can react differently depending on skin type, pH or body temperature. When it comes to trying a solid perfume, there is little difference from an eau de toilette.
- The brand: there are many brands that offer solid perfumes, some more well-known than others. You need to find out about the reputation, ethics and values of the brand, to ensure that they are consistent with your positioning. It is also necessary to check customer reviews, which can give indications on the quality, staying power and loyalty of the solid perfume.
How to preserve your solid perfume?
Solid perfume should be stored or stored in a dry, temperate place away from light, to prevent it from melting, oxidizing or losing its intensity. Also remember to close the container correctly, to prevent the solid perfume from drying out or being altered. If you are designing solid perfumes, be especially careful about storage.
