We were just talking (in the comments) about solid twist up perfumes yesterday, and here is one I didn't know about: Bath & Body Works Kaleidoscope, launched last year as a liquid and now available in a twist up.

Its compact size fits in your pocket, bag, center console & more, so you can freshen up with amazing fragrance whenever, wherever." 5.9g for $16.50, and also sold in their "One in a Million" fragrance, which I think is brand new.

Layered together they create a fresh, fruity fragrance, mellowed with notes of pear, with a touch of sea salt. Presented in our Fragrance Combining™ Palette, which is perfectly-sized to scent your skin on the go...", $76. Hat tip to chocolatemarzipan!

From Hermès, the Charming edition of Twilly d’Hermès. “Choose the limited edition Charming Twilly, the Hermès girls’ lucky charm. A pretty horseshoe dangles from the silken ribbon as a distinctive sign, a liberty of expression.” In 85 ml Eau de Parfum at John Lewis in the UK…
