Review & Giveaway: Vi.Be Solid Perfume.

Good morning!

The lovely Daisy at Vi.Be Fragrance recently sent me some of their solid perfumes to try.

Vi.Be is an indie beauty brand that focuses on creating unique and inspiring fragrances in a solid form. I got to try a full size in Hot Berry and 3 minis in Oriental Rose, Wonder and Miss Honey.

From Vi-Be.com:

Adorn yourself with our stunning solid perfumes and embrace your scentuality. Quality Beeswax, healing Shea Butter, a special fragrance blend and Vitamin E applied to your pulse points will leave your skin supple and your nose pleased. Also try it on your hair to complete your scent aura.

No Parabens - No Alcohol- No colorants

Travel-Friendly

The fragrances come in little twist up tubes, which makes it really easy and convenient to take with you. The perfumes are solid, but still a little creamy, so it's not too difficult to transfer it to your skin. I found that I only needed a very small amount on each wrist and the nape of my neck, as it is very concentrated and lasts a long time.

I actually liked all the different scents, which is surprising since I'm notoriously picky when it comes to perfume. None of them were too overpowering, or old lady-ish, they were quite light and fresh (even the musk and florals). My absolute favourite was Wonder though, it's really fruity and light and refreshing! And it has.... MELLLLONNNN! And JASSSMINNNNE! Two of my absolute favourite scents in the world. Perfect for Summer, or any time if you're like me and yearn back to days at the beach.

The price:

$18 for the large, which has 14g/0.5oz

$7.50 for the mini, which is 4.2 g / 0.15 oz

You might think it's a bit steep for the size, but solid perfume lasts a long time and goes further than eau de parfum/spray perfume. I find a solid perfume is more subtle and the scent lasts longer as well, which I prefer. There's nothing worse than being around someone that smells like they took a bath in perfume.. (no, really, thanks for the assault on my senses there). I also like the convenience of being able to throw a solid perfume in my purse and not having to worry about it leaking.
