If you've been nodding your head eagerly so far, allow us to turn you on to the beauty trend du jour: Solid perfumes.

    It is portable, oftentimes economical, and has just as much staying power as a full-sized variant. Convinced enough? but it also begs the question: how is it different from an EDP or a spray-on mist?

    Solid perfumes are not just more sustainable enough but also do not have alcohol which means it doesn't harm your skin. These balm-type scents are now slowly making their way to many beauty shelves.
