2PCS Solid Balm Sets - Solid Perfume with Exquisite Mirror - Portable Pocket Balm - Perfect for Travel Use - Natural Fragrance for Men and Women

I normally don't purchase things that don't have any reviews yet,but at the price of $9 USD, I took a chance. And so far I'm glad I did! These two solid perfumes came very nicely packaged, each one in its own little box. The mirrors inside came intact and with a protective film on them to prevent them from getting greasy from the perfume during transit.The clamshells/compacts themselves are a bit smaller than I thought they'd be; they're 1 and a half inches by 1 and a half inches, and about a half inch deep. I used a standard-sized tennis ball for scale 😂The logo on the compacts is reminiscent of the YSL logo, but it doesn't really feel like it's ripping off the brand if that makes sense. The compacts are made of plastic but they still feel sturdy despite their mini size. Once they're empty I plan to keep the compacts to store other makeup or even my own solid perfume in them.Now onto the part you're probably most curious about: the scents.I was VERY pleasantly surprised with the potency of the fragrances. It was very subtle but I could still distinctly smell them the moment I opened their boxes. I can smell them with the compact closed, a few inches away from my face.I'm an early 20-something female and I love a well-done floral... Now I've got two new ones! 😆The silver one, "Dreamland," has top notes of apple, lemon, blackcurrant, and honey;middle notes of rose, peony, jasmine, tuberose, carnation;base notes of vanilla, leather, patchouli, and musk.I would say that's exactly what it smells like. It's definitely the fresher and lighter of the two scents. It's a lovely floral-fruity fragrance that develops into something slightly richer the longer you smell it thanks to the base notes. It smells like being in a flower garden while sun-drying laundry that's been washed with very fancy detergent. Some people might say florals, especially tuberose, are "old lady scents," but I think with the right approach and in good combination with other scent profiles, they can be very fresh and youthful. This one reminds me of the Gain detergent and Downy fabric softener my mom always uses; the honey and peony notes make it smell sun-warmed and dreamyThe gold one, "Encounter," has top notes of bitter orange leaf and tuberose;middle notes of orange blossom, benzoin, rose, and jasmine;base notes of sandalwood and musk.This one is the more rich, "nighttime" scent of the two. The benzoin is doing most of the lifting underneath the florals, because I can definitely smell the vanilla-y woodiness with the faintest trace of spice. The musk in the base notes helps tie the sweetness of the benzoin together with the floral notes from the orange leaf, orange blossom, jasmine, and tuberose. Despite being a rich, sweet scent I would not describe this as "granny perfume." It IS ever so slightly reminiscent of the original Youth Dew scent from Estée Lauder, if a bit less spicy, which I only know because my grandmother has one. I still don't think this is an "old lady scent," though.All in all these smell delightful and would be a nice blind buy if you like floral fragrances or would like to try them out. The price point is definitely worth it since you get two of them. Because they're wax/oil based, you can always use them to layer other fragrances on top to help them stick better and last longer if you don't like these by themselves.I'll update my review for longevity and projection on the skin later on. (Today's August 31, 2024.)

Giving this 4 stars because one of them smells incredible, but the other one is gross. They're tiny and portable, and honestly, the one that smells great is worth the money. I wish I could just buy that one (or two of that one), though.

Very bad smelling product

Lovely scent one softer one more intense one more feminine one more masculine

It is very cute and perfect for my purse BUT, the scent reminds me of my grandmother's perfume.
