What: Hand-poured, solid perfume from K. Hall Designs. .25 oz plastic pots won’t spill or leak, making them great for travel. Recycled and recyclable packaging, minimum 95% natural (and vegan) ingredients, and Fair Trade practices make them good for the Earth.

We Tried: Egyptian Jasmine, a heady, pure, exotic jasmine scent that never overwhelms.

Pros: Made with beeswax, jojoba oil, and vitamin E, the perfume is creamy but doesn’t let the scent overwhelm. Solid means it won’t spill or leak (but you do have to watch out for meltage).

Cons: The scent doesn’t last long – maybe a half-hour. The small perfume pot means that, halfway in, it is hard to get any perfume out without getting it under your nail. Also, you will want to make sure you have clean fingers before applying.

Verdict? Intoxicating scents in a natural base make up for the short lifespan. Far more appealing to travel with than a delicate glass bottle. It’s a winner.

The Deets: Solid perfumes will set you back $23. Other products run $12-$65. Purchase at Amazon.com or khalldesigns.com
