Gardenias. There's nothing like them. This Blue Gardenia Solid Perfume is small enough to put in your purse in case you forget to put on perfume in the morning. Or put it in your makeup case. Or both! It's a soft pick-me-up kind of a fragrance, not a 'fill-the-room-it's-me' kind of fragrance. And the texture will be determined by the temperature, since it's made with natural ingredients... a bit softer in warm weather and firmer in cold temperatures. **PLEASE NOTE: if you like your fragrance strong, this solid perfume probably isn't for you and you would be better served by a liquid perfume. This a more of a subtle, personal fragrance. Also, please see photos and general information for the size of the tin. It is a compact size. The gardenia scent is mixed with a combination of sweet almond oil, shea butter, beeswax and Vitamin E oil, so it not only smells good, but it provides nourishing ingredients to your skin. Solid perfumes aren't something new. The ancient Romans and Egyptians are known to have used them for scents and/or healing properties. Europeans have been known to carry them around in fancy lockets. You never know when you might get a call for a hot date during the day. So better to be prepared! Ingredients: Sweet almond oil, Shea butter, Beeswax, Fragrance, Vit E oil.
