Two products from one base: a balm that goes on skin, and a puck that sits in a drawer. Both are alcohol-free, both ship without liquid restrictions, and both carry a scent at far higher concentration than the equivalent spray.
Solid fragrance exists for two reasons and both are practical. It ships as a solid, so it is not a liquid for air freight or for most postal rules. And it releases slowly from a warm surface, which makes it the natural format for a drawer, a wardrobe or a bag rather than a room.
The base is a balance of wax, butter and oil. Too hard and nothing releases until the surface warms; too soft and it greases the packaging and loses shape in transit. We set the ratio against the destination climate, because a puck that behaves in Hangzhou in October will slump in a Dubai warehouse in July.
A solid fragrance has one ingredient doing all the work — the base. It holds the oil, sets the release rate, and decides whether the puck survives a container in July.
Melting point is specified against the destination, not the factory. We produce a standard base and a hot-climate variant, and state the storage range so a distributor can plan rather than discover.
A puck meant for a wardrobe should last months; a balm meant for skin should open within a minute. The same oil behaves completely differently at those two release rates, so the accord is evaluated in the final format.
No alcohol means no liquid classification for most routes, which cuts freight cost and removes a category of paperwork — the main reason brands add a solid to an existing spray line.
The visible face of the balm is the product. We control pour temperature and cooling so the surface is smooth and colour is even, because a cloudy or cracked puck reads as old stock on a shelf.
The format and the base can be specified independently, which is what allows a wardrobe line and a skin line to share one production run.
Flat tin, twist-up stick, wardrobe disc or a hanging block for rails and hooks — each with its own fill weight and release behaviour.
Beeswax or vegan candelilla, with a standard or hot-climate melt point and a stated storage range for the destination market.
8–20% fragrance load, with the accord tuned in the finished base. Resins and woods hold well in wax; citrus needs a fixative or it disappears within weeks.
Natural, tinted or matched to a brand colour, in tins, tubes or a moulded pulp tray inside a printed sleeve or rigid box.
The two decisions that affect cost here are fill weight and packaging; everything else is a standard option.
That is what the hot-climate base is for. We set melt point against the destination and state the storage range, so a distributor can decide where the stock sits rather than finding out from a returned pallet.
It depends on fill weight, load and airflow. A wardrobe disc is typically designed for two to three months of use; we quote a figure for the specific configuration rather than a general claim.
Yes, but the accord is tuned twice. A scent that opens well on skin can be cloying in a closed drawer, so the two versions are sampled separately from the same oil.
With a candelilla and plant-butter base, yes. Beeswax is the standard base and it is not vegan, so the choice is made before the formula is written, not after.
Yes — a stamped aluminium or paper refill puck for the same tin. It lowers the cost of the second purchase and keeps the packaging out of the waste stream, which increasingly matters to EU retail buyers.
Tell us the destination market and whether the product is for skin, wardrobe or both. We return a base recommendation, a melt point and a fill weight for each format.
