Good point! And they don’t charge shipping either!

That’s what I do too…don’t know what else you could do, LOL…but one of the nice things about solids, other than the fact that you can keep them in your purse, is that you can control sillage so much better. With a strong fragrance like Fracas, for instance, you can apply a very small amount and wear it anywhere without overwhelming everyone around you.

It’s usually kind of a soft, waxy substances – there is probably a better way to apply, but I just rub some on my fingers and then apply it at my pulse points.

okay, total newbie question. what the heck is solid perfume? how do you apply/wear it?

True, although I forgot that Ineke will give you back the expense if you buy a full bottle…might be worth checking to see if Beautyhabit has the same policy.

I was thinking of getting the Ineke sample from their website, but this may end up being cheaper since beautyhabit often has discount codes!

That isn’t to say that I haven’t bought any FBs – I was talking about feeling that way about buying tons of samples. I wonder what the profit margin is on samples?

I used to think that, too – until I found the fine art of begging for free samples, swapping samples, splitting bottles, and buying decants. Because let’s fact it – how many of us are going to finish an FB, let alone several FBS?

LOL…I spread my sample-buying around for just that reason. Really, at some point I’ll start buying more FBs than samples, but there is so much territory to explore first that I’m just not quite there yet.

Lucky you, that’s a good looking bottle!
