As most of you know, I currently make solid perfumes in little pots:
I started making these because they're easy to carry around in a bag since they're small and they don't spill. Well, I started wondering if maybe I should sell other types of perfume as well. I was going through some options and here's what I came up with:
Solid Perfume in a Pot
I like these because, as I said, they're small and spill proof. The bad thing about them is having to rub your finger into it to apply it.
Solid Perfume in a Stick
These are also nice and portable. With this option you can rub it directly onto your skin.
Roll-On
These are one of my favorites although I'm afraid to carry it in my purse for fear of spilling.
Spray
Also not one that I would carry around, just in case it spilled.
Cost Issue:
Then there's the price factor on each. The solid ones aren't as costly to make. The plastic pots/tubes are inexpensive. The roll-ons and sprays cost a bit more. I'd prefer to use glass for those which off course makes the bottle more expensive. From what I've been researching, the glass containers cost almost 4-5 times as much as the tubes/pots. This would, of course, mean that 1/3oz of liquid perfume would cost a lot more than 1/3oz of solid perfume. Is it worth it?
I would love to hear opinions on this! Please comment below and take the poll to the right to help me decide what to do!

If I like a scent, I usually don't carry it around with me and prefer a spray for after the bath. But if I were to carry it around with me I would prefer the solid form. What I pay for it entirely depends on if I love the scent!
although i haven't tried your solid perfumes yet, have you thought about putting them in a lip balm type of tube? i've used a few like those before and like them alot :)
Beth, I like that option too. Those are the "sticks" that I'm referring to. They're great because you can rub it right onto your skin.
