A new way to travel with fragrances has entered the villa—and it’s worthy of a bombshell. Solid perfumes are officially the only form of fragrances we’ll be packing in our carry-on, and we can finally forget all about the TSA liquid rules. 

Solid perfumes aren’t necessarily new in the beauty market, but we’ve been seeing an uptick of them being released this year.

Regardless of whether it’s a designer or indie brand, if there’s a new scent launch, there’s probably a solid version of it available too.

These (mostly) pocket-sized products come in everything from a soft jelly to a buttery balm texture in a compact or stick packaging that immediately melts onto your skin.

Usually made without alcohol, these fragrances are, by definition, closer to the skin. That makes them a more intimate sensorial experience. In other words, similar to perfume oils, they won’t project to the air as traditional spray perfumes do. 

Still, there are plenty of benefits. Other than the handy TSA shortcut, they’re also perfect for touching up your scent throughout the day since you can easily throw them in your purse without worrying about any leaks.

Plus, many are refillable, with plenty of brands offering refills for a more affordable price, making them great for the environment and reducing overconsumption.

Curious? Whether you have an upcoming trip planned or you’re looking to try a new form of fragrance, keep scrolling to shop the best solid perfumes.
