On Solid Ground: Solid Perfumes

Let’s face it — even the best, longest-lasting perfume fades after awhile. But who wants to carry around a bottle of perfume in her purse all day, chancing it spilling all over everything else of importance in there? Luckily, tons of fragrances have now become available in solid form — making it so, so easy to reapply the very second we gals decide we’re feeling a little less than fresh. And an added bonus? Solid perfumes usually retail for way less than their liquidy counterparts — making it so much easier to buy, buy, buy! Check out our top picks for the ones that will keep you smelling sweet all day (and night) long.
