[@countzero5150]

I use outlaw soaps blazing saddles solid cologne. Smells badass, it's subtle, and it's small enough that it can be tossed into your pocket. I love that solids tend to have more masculine or just uncommon scents. "Leather, sandalwood, gunpowder, sage, two kinds of campfire, and a little dirt."

[@coconutlarry]

I have the solid and the spray of blazing saddles and its absolute fire.

[@357Dejavu]

I use both the solid and he liquid in there “Fire in the Hole”.

[@rickterrance4981]

I have that too and it smells pretty great but the price in relation to the quantity/number of applications is a bit high. It's also extremely subtle and doesn't seem to last all that long. I'm going to try the spray version.

[@countzero5150]

@@rickterrance4981 I wanted to try the spray but I always forget about it. I've heard it has a slightly different smell but in general I like most of their products. I use their lotion on my tattoos.

[@chrishayes5755]

I use the rustic tradesman solid cologne: "pine fir sawdust, motor oil, dried blood and scabs with a splash of booze"

[@ChrisRawls]

I didn't even know this was an option.

[@jamescyoungjy]

Same here little man

[@danieliger]

Solid colognes are enjoyable, but wearing them is absolutely a different experience. Specifically in the ritual of application. When you apply an alcoholic spray perfume your senses are completely overwhelmed and engulfed by the fragrance due to the initial rapid diffusion of the scent. Those highly volatile components can just hit you like a ton of bricks, in a good way. Solids just can't give you that same kind of initial, intense rush.

[@voltaire5427]

I’d imagine solids would be somewhat comparable to a bar of deodorant projection-wise. Do they have opening to dry down phases like liquids?

[@landshark321]

Great to see your take on solid perfumes--I've not tried them but certainly they seem to have their uses. Resiliency at the expense of projection seems like a fair trade, at least as an option.

[@FragranceBros]

absolutely. I think it's good to see these as an alternate perspective in fragrance use. Not everyone wants to use fragrances in the way that most in the fragrance community do. So I like them. :)

[@bloodrivercanyon]

Essentially 1/3 beeswax, 1/3 carrier oil (like jojoba oil), 1/3 perfume concentrate. Extrait strength, usually.

[@carlgranados7106]

Another benefit. I'm allergic to liquid fragrances so I can only use on my clothes. I think it's the alcohol that irritates my skin.

[@cuchanu]

It could also be the toxic ingredients that they use. Try a liquid all natural perfume.

[@Ando2k10]

I've been using the Duke Cannon line of solid colognes for the last eight months and I love them. Great scents that last all day long.

[@Harley-Charlie]

Andrew Gonos what’s the best way to apply? How much do you apply? I just bought the bourbon scent.

[@paytonsmith3890]

Which one is your favorite scent

[@Ando2k10]

@@Harley-Charlie I just rub my fingers, in circles, on the top of it, until a bit melts onto my finger tips. Then I rub it into my wrists and neck. The scent seems to go away quickly, but it doesn't. That's just your brain blocking it out. My wife can still smell it on me when I get home from work several hours later.

[@Ando2k10]

@@paytonsmith3890 I like the bourbon, the air and the sea. I haven't tried any of the newer ones...yet. I wasn't fond of the Land (redwood) scent, and gave that to my nephew. Oddly, I do like the redwood scent in the Beard Balm.

[@Patrick.Weightman]

What pisses me off is their best scents are always limited releases. The vetiver+oak moss and neroli+musk they have right now are amazing and women love it but they're not permanent additions 😡😡

[@Orochi_001]

For me, the so-called benefits remove much of what I love about fragrances. Namely, the aesthetically wonderful bottles, the uplifting sensations unique to spraying a fragrance, and modest projection. If one knows how to wear their frags responsibly, it’s easy to be loved as the cologne guy and not dreaded as the too-much-cologne guy. If I have to put nose 0-6 inches from the application spot to smell a fragrance, it’s failed at its basic duty. I’m really glad these exist to give people more options though. Options are good. FWIW, I think everyone who wears fragrances should at least moisturize their application zones. You get a huge boost to both performance and overall scent quality.

[@iamEddieP]

My thoughts exactly

[@justinxpwsane]

Do you moisturize pre or post application?

I bought a solid Cologne, I found when you’re in a hot environment that the wax tends to melt and then gets all over everything.

[@YoungBlaze]

Where are you hanging out? In a oven?

[@OleVinny]

The whole point is obviously options and availability. There's a world of millions of perfumes out there and you have your favorites. Using the solid ones is limiting and takes away all the fun of testing and discovery.

TSA regulation allows you to take 3.4 ounces of cologne bottles in your hand luggage! Hell, I had 5 bottles in my hand luggage. What's with the TSA part!? Tested on Delta, United, Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian, Turkish Airlines, etc., and never had a problem!!!

[@melenahoward]

I love all fragrance, but I do love, solid perfumes, and colognes because they are such a great alternative for travel, putting in your purse or pocket, etc. And although they don’t have the projection and sillage fluid fragrance, that isn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes we want a very intimate scent. This is great for those times when you’re in small areas or you’re having intimate moments where you’re snuggled with your partner and a movie theater or in bed watching TV, etc. and you don’t want a lot of projection. I agree, more companies need to make solid colognes, and I love the containers. Some are refillable, but often times empty and they don’t have refills. I just use my lip balm recipe and fill it with my favorite homemade lip balm. Great. Thanks so much.

[@brunogiambroni1422]

Haven’t tried these but am a fan of solid perfumes/colognes. I’ve made my own, too and it wasn’t bad

I bought a solid cologne from Solid State here in Aus, I was excited at first but was quickly disappointed. I felt like I couldnt smell the scent at all and no one really mentioned the scent to me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? I like the spray because I can spray my clothes as well as skin which last much longer imo. Anyone else feel the same?

[@Patrick.Weightman]

Solids are THE way to go. I don't think I can go back. I will never understand why liquids overtook the market

[@XanoviaScents]

Have not tried any from this house but it sounds interesting... Personally I have not had good results with solid perfumes in the past (just not lasting at all) but again I've not tried anything from this house so perhaps they use more oil than the others I have tried... I still really appreciate hearing your take on this... Great job as always... ^_^

[@noeldean2821]

Thanks for telling me about this company. Just ordered a sample set. I heard about Le Labo solid cologne but their prices were too much.

[@ewendawson3914]

How did you find the sample set??

[@razscott]

Not tried these ones but i have a couple of the l’artisan solid perfumes, longevity is ok but they don’t project that much or leave any sillage.

[@raikahoken]

the worst thing about them is lack of projection. It just doesn't work as a fragrance if people have to put your nose to the app point to smell it.

[@FragranceBros]

That's just a difference of perspective. Many people don't like loud fragrances. My wife doesn't. I personally do like have quiet scents in my wardrobe.

[@raikahoken]

I don't like loud scents too like 1 Mil or Sauvage. But these are not even quiet, these are dead. I've tried some. They don't project, and as such I can't smell them. When I wear a fragrance I want to be able to at least smell it myself from time to time. I can't smell these unless I put my nose directly at the app point. Some people might be into that, but that's a fail to me.

[@jacobsamuel4092]

Will it cause skin issues if we use it over long periods?

[@MaTtMoNtOyAsAnGeL]

It doesn't need to just be solid to not dry out your skin. Their are oil based liquid sprays and roll ons. Do solids work as a stand alone perfume? I have heard you should use like a spray and just use a solid to touch up.(edit) went on the website and this brand actually DOES use alcohol in their solid colognes.

[@JediMasterMason]

Great video, I have a tobacco vanilla scent from Oak City Beard Company, smells awesome! I'll be getting more solid cologne!

[@MrSW-rt4ts]

If you leave solid cologne in your pocket for a long. time and your body temperature is warm will it melt? And if it does melt will it break down the notes

[@FragranceBros]

I don't think your pocket is warm enough to melt it (I might be wrong).

[@MrSW-rt4ts]

Take one put it in your pocket for all day and let me know what happens to it truthfully thank you please try and get back with me

[@DeityOfHp]

I keep mine in my pocket, and it makes them apply smoother, the scent notes also are more noticeable right up front, versus when I apply some that has sit in my car during cold weather which causes it to take a while to really project, as well as making it a little tougher to apply.

Do they project?

[@muzalyahya7146]

Based on my own personal experience, it doesn’t. It’s meant for subtle use that can only be detected upon close contact interactions like hugging. It helps you to smell fresh without being over exceedingly giddy. Its a good convenient option but i won’t purchase it again.

You can take any liquids on a plane as long as they are under 100ml. The same rules apply for solids such as soaps and wax

Pomades and such are also scented wax. Have you tried candles in your hair? There are different types of waxes with different properties.

[@tamircohen1512]

I've never tried solid colognes but they seem great. Why do you think liquid colognes are so much more popular than solid colognes if they are so much less efficient?

[@FragranceBros]

I think it's mostly because of familiarity. It could be other things too, like the fancy glass bottles, people who like louder scents, and other reasons.

[@felixjohnson3856]

Two words-Projection and sillage. A quality liquid will beat its solid counterpart every time on those. Solids win on longevity, storage, practicality, and transportability. But they are linear, so you won't get the nice transitions that you get from liquids as the notes evaporate off of your skin.

[@zylvax7641]

thanks for this one bro, I will surely try it

[@Harem__King]

My favorite solid cologne is from duke cannon it's more manly.

[@ptoyman]

[@rmapcynan1039]

Alcohol based fragrance has over the decades created some truly amazing bottle designs and presentation. Solid fragrance in a tin? They have a long way to go as far as visual appeal and marketing is concerned. On the subject of marketing, they need to offer some free samples if they want people to buy; I have yet to see a solid fragrance for men on sale in any stores (Salvador Dali had a miniature solid perfume and soap set for ladies, the only solid fragrance I remember seeing). Also, I was under the impression, and correct me if I'm wrong, that a spray fragrance allows the various notes to evaporate at different rates, which is why the fragrance develops over time. Does this happen with solid fragrance? I would say that to make solid fragrance (for men) anything more than a novelty would require a big designer name to produce a solid fragrance with amazing design. I am now looking at my DW Home tobacco leaf candle and wondering if I should start rubbing myself all over with it...

[@FragranceBros]

no, the evaporation of fragrance notes is based on the volatility of the fragrance oils in a fragrance, not based on the application. Also candle fragrances are completely different in the way they are made, so it wouldn't make a good fragrance on your skin, much like your favorite cologne wouldn't be a good candle if you poured it into wax.

[@BilalBrown]

You can't spray it on clothing for added longevity though. The projection will be less as well. They have been selling these "solid colognes" in the Middle East for decades.

[@FragranceBros]

I don't see the quieter projection as a bad thing. As I said, many people don't want a fragrance to be loud. You can still put solid fragrance on clothing.

[@toobalkain]

I can’t believe no one has yet done a review of Le Labo shaving cream and after shave, to say nothing of the bronzer.

[@justaddlight]

Good stuff Daver. This may seem like an odd question - What's the difference between a solid cologne and a scented candle?

[@FragranceBros]

I actually talked about that when I recorded, but cut it out in post. The wax is different. You need a certain type of wax for candles. But besides that, it's a lot harder to get your favorite scent as a candle because the oils usually don't work well as a candle. Many times the candle will smell faint. I don't know why--I'm sure experts in this field could explain better. But ultimately while you won't have to sacrifice to have your favorite scent as a solid, you would to have it as a candle.

[@justaddlight]

Interesting! I've been dabbling a bit with mixing frag oils with a variety of materials like unscented shampoos, liquid soaps and shaving creams to see if I can customize my daily hygiene experience. In short, it works. In addition, I've also started using diffusers and even scented jewellry to supplement my experiments. However, I've recently been looking into creating custom candles and I think you're right about the wax and concentration issue. Evidently it takes a great deal of oil to make a single candle and the bonding elements in the wax play an important role. Otherwise, the heat can damage the fragrance, or else hinder the diffusion. I guess I'll stick with my diffusers for the time being! Thanks for your input Dave.

[@MaTtMoNtOyAsAnGeL]

candles are just wax and scent. The perfumes have carrier oils also and usually different waxes.
