Could someone please explain to me what solid perfume is? I saw it on an etsy, but it looked like a bar of soap.
How in the world do you put it on? How does it stay on? It is just perfumed soap and they are calling it solid prefume??lol

I know Ive thought way too much about this..lol

Jessie - It's a fragrance in a semi-solid base, kind of like the consistency of chap stick. You just rub a dab in and smell good. There are recipes for it on the web if you do a google search.

Solid perfume is good for people with dry skin, it last longer and is less drying.

Jessie, I bought some last fall at the farmer's market that was in what looked like a deodorant container. I love it. It fits good in my purse and it has a very nice feel to it and very smelly good, too. I got pepperment scent. It's not perfume but solid lotion. So now I don't know if we're talking the same thing or not. Anyway, it's solid!

No, that's what I thought it was at first but they told me it was just a solid lotion. You just roll it on your arms and legs like lotion. I guess it could be used under the arms if ya like. It just came in that particular container. I just found it and there is a web site so you can check it out. www.sleepyhollowherbfarm.com. It's actually called a body repair lotion bar.

Didn't Avon sell that years ago like in a chapstick container type of thing. I remember having some in high school, LONG ago :-)

I had a stick of Ambush perfume ages ago, also in high school. It was wrapped in foil and came in a glass container with a plastic lid, similar in size to the spice jars sold today.
