Solid Cologne Review: Will You Love Any Of These Scents?

Page Contents

If you’ve been looking for a perfume for a long time, but none seems to have that manly smell that you so deeply desire. Indeed, not only is trying to choose your elusive signature cologne a tricky mess of hit and miss, but it’s also a challenge of interpreting the array of complicated foreign vocabulary. Read on for a Solid cologne review- An ideal manly cologne to gift yourself.

Okay, but before we have a closer look at the review, let us first look at what solid colognes are. Instead of water, solid colognes use natural wax like beeswax or even shea butter. The solid cologne is applied to your skin at your pulse points, like your neck and wrists. These points on your body help activate the scent, let it last longer throughout the day, and then slowly blend with your natural scent. 

Solid

You might think that solid colognes are a new thing, but it dates back to Egyptian times where they used animal fats and scented oils in burials and rituals. 

But the question is, why would you want to use a solid cologne, and what pros and cons do this cologne include? 

Well, let us have a look!

Pros: 

  • It is durable (You don’t have to worry about breaking it when it falls directly onto the floor or when you put it in your gym bag.)
  • It is easy to use (You just apply it to your pulse points, and you are good to go.)
  • It is a milder scent. (This is good for those who don’t like strong scents or want to leave a scent trail behind them.)
  • Privacy (You don’t have to worry about drawing unwanted attention to yourself in the office like you would do when you would have sprayed the cologne.)
  • They are kind to your skin. (Most of the colognes contain alcohol, and this can sometimes be harmful to your skin. In comparison, the solid colognes don’t include alcohol and not even water.)

Cons

  • Longevity (It lasts between 2 and 4 hours. Which is better than those cheap perfumes out there, but not as long as the expensive colognes.)
  • The availability (Unfortunately, there are just a handful of these colognes available, but the market is growing, and soon there will be more scents available.)

There are a few solid colognes on the market like the Solid-state Cologne, Lush Cosmetics Men’s Dirty Solid Perfume, Beardbrand Spiced Citrus Solid Cologne, The Musician Solid Cologne from Walton Wood Farm, Fulton & Roark Clearwater Solid Cologne, etc., and Aromi. 

But today, I want to share with you the specific solid cologne brand, Aromi.

Aromi cologne scents are available in liquid and solid versions. Each cologne has a name that you might call a man, including What a Stud, Handsome, Sexy Man, Outdoor Guy, Very Manly, Sweet Dude, Douchebag, and Masculine. Solid colognes are great for when you are traveling. And you can easily throw them in your briefcase, duffel bag or backpack.

Aromi solid colognes are handcrafted in the U.S.A. laboratory and designed with the best vegan and cruelty-free natural materials. Each solid cologne is inexpensive and comes in a convenient, portable, travel-friendly can. Amazing right?

My Opinion

According to my research, these solid colognes by Aromi are magnificent. The scent is musky, and the essential oils give a natural feel rather than a cloud of artificial spray. The smell is not overwhelming, although some people can find it disappointing. The main concern is that the fragrance is not an “all-day” scent at all.

After just a few hours, only those at close range will smell it. Additionally, most people prefer solid colognes today since they are highly concentrated, making this collection of perfumes exquisite for me, and it will be perfect for you too.

FAQs

Question: Are our solid colognes any good?

Answer: Yes, solid colognes are great! They are more natural than the standard colognes, which makes them great for people who battle sensitive skin. 

Question: Do solid colognes last longer than liquid perfumes?

Answer: Solid colognes last longer than Liquid colognes since the liquid colognes evaporate quickly because of the alcohol ingredient in them. In contrast, solid mixtures stay longer on your skin because it’s highly concentrated, allowing the scent to stay longer on your skin.

Question: Does solid cologne expire?

Answer: Well, like your typical cologne, solid colognes don’t really expire, but they will degrade with time.

Question: How often should you apply solid cologne?

Answer: You can reapply the cologne as needed. The cologne usually lasts between 3 to 4 hours. So you will most probably apply the solid cologne two times during your workday.
