The content of the article:

Solid perfume is a cosmetic product that is made on the basis of wax or fat with the addition of essential oils, plant extracts and other ingredients. This perfume product is very popular due to the durability of the aroma. This is especially noticeable in summer, when most alcohol-based perfumes evaporate and solid natural analogue retains the scent for a long time without losing the richness of the bouquet.

Composition and components of solid perfumes

Creamy perfumes are very convenient to use, they last a long time, and the smell of the perfume is special, soft, and refined. However, the main advantage of such means is natural composition. Even industrial perfumes of this consistency do not add chemical components, because this will disrupt the texture of the perfume and it will not be able to “lay down” softly on the skin.

The composition of solid perfumes includes the following components:

  • Wax or paraffin. It is the base of the perfume that makes it solid. If you use paraffin to create the product, be sure to buy it at the pharmacy - a purified medical product white. Beeswax is even more suitable for this purpose, because, in addition to its creamy consistency, it gives the perfume elusive honey notes. Beeswax is also much healthier for the skin, because it is saturated with healing microelements.
  • Base oil. Jojoba or olive oil is suitable for creating perfumes. The main condition is that it should not be aromatic, but at the same time rich in vitamins.
  • Vitamin E. In the creation of perfumes, this ingredient plays the role of a preservative, prolonging the life of the perfume. It also has antioxidant properties, caring for the skin and protecting it from signs of aging.
  • Glycerol. An excellent natural fixative that makes the aroma more intense.
  • Essential oils specified in the recipe. These can be a wide variety of options, which in combination with each other will give an unforgettable aroma.
Solid perfumes may also contain other components in small doses in the form of plant extracts, grains and roots, but they are rarely used because they can damage the texture, after which the solid perfume will separate.

After mastering basic recipes you can safely experiment, because there are many popular and pleasant smells to our sense of smell. Be sure to write down the formulas you use so that you can later reproduce the scent you like again.

Stages of preparing creamy perfumes


To make high-quality solid perfumes with your own hands, you need to stock up on time and ingredients. The process can be mastered by any person who has a desire to create and learn something new.

Before you start, prepare everything you need: wax, base oil, essential oils to create a subtle scent, vitamin E, glycerin, and dishes. You will need a saucepan for water, a heat-resistant container for mixing the base, a wooden stick, a pipette, and containers with lids for storing the finished perfume.

In order not to disrupt the technology of preparing perfumes, divide the process into stages and follow them:

  • Place in a heat-resistant container required quantity paraffin or wax and place the container in a pan of water. Place the pan on the stove. In a water bath, the wax will melt quickly and will not burn.
  • As soon as it begins to take on a liquid consistency, reduce the heat as much as possible and slowly add the main oil. If beeswax good quality, it will gently change texture and combine with the oil. When the ingredients are completely melted and come together, remove the pan from the heat.
  • While the perfume base rests for just a couple of minutes, mix the essential oils separately. To do this, use a pipette to accurately measure the drops. You can rehearse this process - combine the ethereal filling of the perfume and sprinkle it on a long thin piece of paper. After a few minutes, sniff the paper with the oils or pass it in the air in front of your nose a few times to determine if you like the combination. Please note that the base will soften this smell.
  • Combine the perfume base with essential oils and mix well with a thin wooden stick. It is important to mix the ingredients while the perfume base is still hot so that it does not start to harden, otherwise melt it again in a steam bath. There should be no grains in the product.
  • To improve texture and useful qualities perfume, add 1 drop each of vitamin E and glycerin.
  • While the mixture is still warm, pour it into a container. It will harden in literally an hour and will be ready for use.
The key to a decent result is the speed of combining the ingredients. If you hesitate a little and allow the base to harden ahead of time, you will have to start over. It is not recommended to melt the wax in a steam bath more than twice, as it loses its beneficial bonding properties.

Rules for storing solid perfumes


Solid perfumes are considered very convenient because they are compact. You can store them in glass, ceramic and even plastic containers. And if you have a medallion or ring with an opening niche, you can even place a creamy, aromatic product there. In this case, your favorite scent will become part of the accessories - it is not only convenient, but also looks very stylish.

Due to its soft texture and the absence of alcohol in its composition, this product does not require special conditions storage Such perfumes retain all their qualities, and most importantly, a persistent smell for up to 12 months.

There are only two main points that need to be taken into account if you expect to preserve the aromatic properties of the product longer:

  1. Do not keep perfume indoors or take it outside if the air temperature there is above +27 degrees. Because of high temperatures the wax may begin to melt and change texture. To stop this process, you can put them in the refrigerator overnight.
  2. Don't forget the perfume container in the sun. Its direct rays heat the jar and destroy the structure of the product, the smell evaporates and becomes barely perceptible.

Important! To preserve the aroma of the perfume for as long as possible, pour the perfume not into one large container, but into several small containers so that you can use them one at a time. Be sure to store the entire batch in the refrigerator with the lids closed.

How to use solid perfume


Creamy perfumes reveal their bouquet differently than their liquid counterparts. When a woman uses solid perfume, its subtle, unobtrusive aroma spreads throughout the room. At the same time, no strong smell alcohol, only a bouquet of essential oils and a subtle honey note are felt.

To apply perfume, no special tools are required; it is done with your fingers. You should run your finger over the perfume, as if taking the desired volume, and distribute it over the skin. You need to take the product the same way you take cream from a jar. Don't make the stroke too harsh so as not to collect a lot of substance, otherwise the aroma will be harsh.

As Coco Chanel said, apply perfume where you want to be kissed. There are areas on the body where perfumes are better absorbed and retain the aroma longer.

Cosmetologists identify several such zones:

  • Wrist, behind the ears, dimple under the neck. The proximity of the vessels and pulsation improves the distribution of aroma.
  • Hole on the back of the head. If you apply perfume there, your hair will emit a subtle, elusive scent all day long.
  • On the inner bend of the elbow and inner side knee In these areas, blood vessels are located closely, and the aroma spreads well through sweating.
  • Whiskey. This area is only suitable for applying solid perfumes. The natural oils included in the composition not only give a pleasant aroma, but also have medicinal properties- can calm down nervous system, help get rid of colds, etc. It all depends on the scent you create and its components. If you apply the substance to your temples, it will begin to work faster, penetrating into the tissues and blood.

An undoubted advantage of solid products is their hypoallergenicity, which allows you to apply them to the skin without fear.

It’s not very difficult to create solid perfumes yourself; the main thing is to follow the proportions, because one extra drop of essential oil or the use of low-quality wax can ruin a multi-component bouquet.

Dry, or, as they are also called, solid perfumes, are the origins of the art of perfumery, which dates back thousands of years, going back to the times Ancient Egypt. In those old times Perfume compositions have not yet been created based on alcohol or ether. The basis was a mixture of aromatic oils and fats of plant and animal origin. Using special resins, this base was converted into a concentrated solid substance. To this neutral base of odorless fat and wax were added precious spices, musk, essential oils, amber and incense. This created a priceless aroma, available only to a select few.


Five thousand years ago, Egyptian beauties began their morning toilette by attaching a small aromatic cone based on purified animal fat with the addition of an aromatic composition to their heads. Under the influence of the sun, the fat melted, flowing onto the face and body, moisturizing it and giving a fragrant trail. By and large, aromatic oils and the dry form of perfume were the only form of perfume for many centuries, from Ancient Egypt until the height of the Roman Empire. The Greeks and Romans especially revered dry perfumes - it was believed in good form rub yourself with a fragrant musk bar after visiting the thermal baths.
Over time, Europeans also inherited the ancient Romans' penchant for using solid perfumes. Thus, during the Renaissance, dry aromas from myrrh, ambergris, and frankincens became widespread. Such perfumes were very expensive, because all the components were worth their weight in gold. The same ambergris (or ambergris), being pathological discharge from the glands of a sick sperm whale, called “floating gold.”


In the Middle Ages, rich coquettes from high society used the so-called pomanders which made it possible to store, transport and sort dry perfumes. The pomander was a metal ball in which the smell came out through openwork holes, reminiscent of an orange, divided into sections, each of which contained a particular aroma. Fashionistas competed in the art of creating a fragrant composition from not too rich and varied materials - fragrant oils and flower essences.

Simpler pendants were also popular, without “lobes”, for a single aroma. I think it was not for nothing that beauties valued such jewelry and perfumes for their elegance and functionality, because the aroma spread regardless of whether the owner of the perfume had time to apply it to the skin. By the way, in the Middle Ages such fumes were attributed healing properties, helping to drive away the plague, strengthen female organs and increase male potency.
For many centuries, dry perfumes were also produced in Arab East. Dry perfumes initially gained popularity arab women, who used them as a skin care product, which was quickly adopted by men. It was they who began to come up with various aromatic compositions and more and more new types of this product. The windows of oriental shops were full of bottles, boxes, caskets, colored labels and jars, which were selling like hot cakes. I think that the climatic factor also played a role here - perfume with a solid base of wax and fat retains its properties in the best possible way in a dry, hot climate. It must be said that to this day in the East, dry perfumes quite successfully compete with perfumes based on volatile compounds.

In the first half of the 20th century, the perfume market began to change rapidly. The mass production of perfumes based on our usual liquid base began to displace the production of solid perfumes. And by the end of the 20th century, they were replaced by sprays that allow you to apply the aroma in a light concentration with the press of a button.


However, on the Russian perfume market, interest in solid perfumes, it seems to me, is being revived. And for good reason. Solid perfumes are akin to a stylish sophistication, and often an expensive accessory. They are many-sided, multifaceted, surprisingly persistent, but at the same time unobtrusive. In addition, this is an excellent alternative for those who, for some reason, cannot use perfume on alcohol based. Typically, dry perfumes are made from solid vegetable oils (for example, based on shea butter, jojoba, coconut) with the addition of wax, propolis or similar component and, of course, the perfume composition itself. This perfume composition can be composed of essential, aromatic oils or contain any “original” aroma. Sometimes dry herbs, flowers or shimmer may be added so that such dry perfumes leave a slight shimmer when applied. High-quality dry perfumes can also be a good moisturizer for the skin. In short, the risk of allergies and skin irritation when using solid perfumes is minimized. And also solid perfumes - as they say now, travel-friendly, they are very convenient to take with you on a plane, they are very light and compact.


Now I'll tell you about how to apply dry perfume . The undoubted advantage of dry perfumes is ease and comfort of use. Solid scents are applied to pulse points - on the wrists, behind the ear, in the valley between the breasts, on the inside of the elbows, behind the knees, in the armpit or wherever you like. Be careful not to apply dry perfume to your face! It is also important to “try on” dry perfumes, especially those of Arabic or Indian origin, and apply exactly as much as needed. WITH oriental spirits It's very easy to overdo it. The aroma is usually “picked up” without any special equipment, with your finger. In general, it depends on what “house” the fragrance has, that is, in what jar, box, pencil, medallion, ring, etc. the fragrance is enclosed.

Jewelry designed to hold solid fragrances - absolutely separate topic. Could there be anything more harmonious than the connection between jewelry and perfumery, which has so excited fashionistas all over the world since time immemorial? The shape of a “jewelry container” for dry perfume is, in fact, limited only by the jeweler’s imagination. Today there are medallions, rings, bracelets, beautiful jewelry jars that resemble small boxes where the fragrance is placed. If you wish, you can order a unique “container” of your own design from a jeweler and fill it with dry perfume own production for yourself, your loved one, or present as luxury gift For loved one. Dry perfumes are long-lasting and have an unlimited shelf life, so the scent can last for years and remind you of you. As promised, oh original recipes I will tell you about dry perfumes in one of the following posts.


So, the method of applying dry perfume, firstly, depends on the “house” of the aroma and on the consistency. Some dry dry perfumes are softer in consistency, closer to creamy (for example, such perfumes may contain Vaseline), there are harder ones, reminiscent to the touch of a hard wax candle or even salt crystal. Rub your finger over the dry perfume several times. Some people use a cotton swab or toothpick to pick up a small amount. solid perfume from the container, then rub the contents between your fingers and apply to the pulse points. If dry perfume is enclosed in a “pencil”, then it’s even simpler - push out a small amount, like lipstick, and immediately apply it where you like. If the scent is in the form of a stick, then simply take it and rub it on your wet body after taking a bath or shower. You can rub it and dry body. A duet of identical aromas - solid and regular - will sound especially beautiful. There is another way to use dry perfume if you use an unscented crystal antiperspirant. Rub dry perfume on your armpits after applying it. The perfume will open up a little later, when you start moving and warming up its particles. Also try adding a small amount of dry perfume to the aroma pendant - I think you will be pleasantly surprised! -)

It’s a little more difficult, in my opinion, with inexpensive oriental perfumes in sticks. It’s a little difficult in terms of great effort, aimed at slightly warming it up. So solid oils plant origin or beeswax, which hold the aroma, begin to melt a little. Apply the aroma using gentle circular massage movements. At first it may seem a little unusual and even uncomfortable, but the aroma is usually worth it! Delicate, enveloping, persistent, with a bright character, memorable...


Personally, I prefer oriental (Arabic) dry perfumes. As a rule, even the cheapest perfumes are very high quality. Arabs are allowed to use them, since there is not a single prohibited component in the composition; all ingredients undergo strict selection and testing. Their price can range from 1 - 2 dollars for a regular aromatic bar in plain parchment or cardboard box up to 150 - 200 dollars for a balm with a luxurious composition of pure essences in an amazing inlaid box. So, when going on your next trip to eastern countries - Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, the UAE - be sure to stop by an oriental bazaar or an oriental shop with all sorts of things and buy a box or casket of dry perfume. It will not just be a magnificent aroma, but also a sophisticated interior decoration.
I like that in the East you can find perfumes with traditional recipes that are kept secret. Their aroma is always dizzying, unique, exclusive - you definitely won’t find this in ordinary stores or on everyone you meet. Thanks to this tradition, you can find out what fragrances were worn hundreds and thousands of years ago, what they preferred, how they seduced and carried away... Just imagine, Scheherazade herself could smell like that!

Dry perfumes from the Arab brand Tariikh
You can use dry perfume for aromatherapy or aromatizing a room, car, etc. If the aroma is in the form of a stick, you can take it out of the box or slightly open the box (jar) with the aroma enclosed in the solid and put it in the closet with linen. I also sometimes do this: I take a block and paint part of it with a knife or similar object. I distribute the resulting handful of crumbs on the shelves, in pillowcases, in the folds of the sheet, in the duvet cover, etc. This method will not spoil either clothes or bed linen, but the aroma remains for a long time even after washing. It seems to me that if you like the aroma, it will relieve insomnia as if by hand. Give it a try.
However, no matter what perfume you choose - solid or regular alcohol- or oil-based - the main thing is to store it correctly (in a dark, cool place) and know how to use it. Be at your best, feel great surrounded by a light, warm cloud of your favorite scent, merging with your skin, which can become your real fragrant autograph!

In the very first few minutes after application, light essential oils evaporate. Among them are citrus fruits, nutmeg oil, rosemary, lavender, basil, lemon, bergamot. This stage is called the “head” stage.

The second period of exposure (heart) can last from several hours to a full day. The heart, the main aroma of the perfume can be juniper and lily, oregano, rose and jasmine, iris, ylang-ylang, geranium and other persistent incense.

On the skin, dry perfumes can create a surprisingly intimate, intriguing sound of an ethereal symphony. Softly, like a cream, absorbed into the skin, solid perfumes enter into a unique union with natural smell the skin of its owner.

History of origin

The inventors of dry perfumes were, according to the discoveries of archaeologists, the priests of the Ancient East: aromatic compositions were an obligatory attribute of religious rituals in the life of the first civilizations of the planet.

Experienced in the art of beauty, representatives of the nobility of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia actively used fragrant ointments, since not doing so was considered bad manners. The Arabs took the baton; they improved the secrets of making incense they had inherited, learning to extract fragrant oil from rose petals.

Modern dry perfumes are not too different from ancient ones, because the manufacturing principle remains the same: a variety of essential oils are dissolved in the base component and retained in hardened wax.

Compound

The main element in solid perfumes is essential oil. It is this that is the unique “filling” of each fragrant composition. It is obtained from essential plants in several ways, the most common being extraction and distillation. Fragrant substances for fixing odor (ambergris, civet, musk) are extracted from the glands of some animals. Beeswax mixed with shea, coconut, jojoba or almond oils gives dry perfume a specific texture. Manufacturers often supplement the aromatic mass with substances beneficial to the skin.

What are dry perfumes?

Their dense consistency allows designers to fantasize. Famous perfume brands in a limited edition they offer compact, elegant boxes, using which you will discover not only a seductive fragrant trail, but also exquisite taste.

Do-it-yourself dry perfume - is it possible?

A home-made product is not the same as a factory-made one. Firstly, at the perfume factory selective aromas are created in a laboratory with special equipment, using a computer and with the participation of technologists who control timing and processes. Secondly, the recipe of every self-respecting campaign is kept in the strictest confidence. Thirdly, the raw materials for the production of perfumes have high price. For example, one gram of musk costs about 60 euros, and even if you purchased it, you will not be able to synthesize it with other ingredients at home.

A significant feature in creating dry perfumes with your own hands is that you have to abandon the use of animal extracts. The basis of your own aromas will be vegetable oils, in which selected esters will be dissolved.
