The construction of fragrant balms offers an alternative to traditional liquid fragrances. These portable and concentrated scent carriers involve blending a solid base, such as beeswax or shea butter, with essential oils or fragrance oils. The resultant mixture solidifies at room temperature, providing a readily applicable aroma.
The advantages of creating these fragrant balms include control over ingredients, customization of scent profiles, and enhanced portability compared to liquid counterparts. Historically, solid perfumes were commonplace before the advent of alcohol-based sprays, offering a discreet and personal means of applying fragrance.
