Solid Perfume Discovery KitㅣFragrance Trio of Long Lasting Gel Perfumes, Perfect for Travel, Cashmere-like Finish, Cologne Gift Set, 0.16 fl.oz. for Each

Masculine Scent
This was too much of a masculine scent for my liking. However, I love the application of the gel. You squeeze out a little bit and apply. It is extremely portable which is one of the things I love about it. I would just prefer a different scent. It did not smell like sandalwood to me.

Nothing special
I’m a certified “frag head” and collect and use fragrances from around the world as a hobby. (Shout out to my “Brotherhood of Scent”, brothers if you happen to read this.) I say that to say I know and appreciate fragrance. I was very excited to see, try and gift this product to my wife.I’ve never seen or heard of a “solid perfume” before so I was intrigued. When I hear “solid” I think more to a deodorant or cocoa butter stick, but semantics aside it’s definitely not a spray and more “solid”. Ironically my daughter had said a week ago when we were cutting fresh basil that she wished she could bath in it and would make a basil perfume if she could. Imagine my surprise when I saw this then!When first uncapped it and gave a light squeeze, I got a palm full of clear oil. Uh oh! The product separated inside the bottle. There’s no real way to “shake” a squeeze tube so…What I ended up doing (after cleaning up.) was putting the cap on and “mashing” the tube back and forth best I could until the product came out opaque.As a lotion, it was pretty nice. The scent however, left me feeling underwhelmed. I was wondering if perhaps a key amount of essential oil came out with the first “surprise” and that changed the fragrance. However, no, it couldn’t have been because that “oil” had barely any scent to it. If it was a basil or vetiver oil, it would have been POWERFUL!Speaking of scent: In the opening, I can pick up the basil. It’s light, very light. That’s a shame to me because the Italian in my veins loves the scent of basil. I think it could be used by a perfumer in so many ways especially as a top note instead of citrus that is so commonly used. This was a miss IMO.Vetiver: One of my all time favorites! One of my most go to fragrances to wear is from Ferrari “Essence of Vetiver.” (Emilie Coppermann perfumer.) Vetiver is actually in the grass family and it’s the roots that are dried and the oils extracted from. Haiti is one of the best sources for it. A gallon of quality vetiver oil can go for a few thousand dollars to give you an idea. It’s not cheap, and that’s why there are synthetic dupes of vetiver that kind of work, but are NOT the real thing.I can’t find the vetiver in this scent, not even a synthetic version. I have vetiver, I love vetiver and it’s just not there. So what I am left with is a sort of generic “scented lotion” with a hint of basil. In that light, it works well and has a little more presence than a typical lotion but I would not class this as a “perfume.” My wife likes it, and will use it occasionally.It’s just not a perfume to me. Sorry.

Basil goodness in gel-like fragrance
Wanted to try something different and picked up this unique herbaceous fragrance. It’s woody or earthy with a distinct scent of basil and a hint of dried grass (where the earthy bit comes from). It’s initially strong and did manage to calm in a timely fashion. It’s not overly complicated, though, so ideal for those who want a simple, direct fragrance. Be aware the contents can separate, however; you’ll need to squish and re-incorporate the contents periodically. Received a few compliments with this one, so if you’re looking for something new, do consider it an option.

Just lovely
Brightens my day

Perfect and easy to use. I love it.

大好きなんです。欲を言えばもう少し、香りの時間が長く持続してくれたら最高です。
