There is no way that the alcohol smell could persist. On the other hand, the smell of carrier waxes and oils in solid perfumes does persist, muddying and muting the smell of the fragrance itself. Some people probably like that. I happen not to.

Not sure if that is me imagining it, or a function of the aromachemicals interacting with the solid carrier. I do know people who strongely prefer solid perfumes because they find the smell of alcohol-based perfumes too alcohol-y...which I don't understand either :)Yukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03811251670311700360noreply@blogger.com
