The problem

Your perfume is at home. You're not.

You spray it at 8am. By mid-afternoon it has faded, and the bottle is still on your dresser.

At 3pm1 / 3

It's worn off, and the bottle is at home

A spray is strongest in the first hour. By the afternoon, when you're heading into a meeting or out for dinner, there's nothing left and nothing on you to fix it.

In your bag2 / 3

Glass doesn't travel well

Full bottles are heavy and breakable, decants leak into your bag, and liquids get checked at airport security. So most bottles never leave the house.

At your desk3 / 3

You can't spray it in public

Not at your desk, not in a lift. A spray fills the space around you, so most people skip it and go the rest of the day without.

What we made instead

Fits a coin pocket The copper Die Cast case in a jeans coin pocket

It goes where you go

About the size of a car key, so it fits a coin pocket, a gym bag or a work bag. No glass and no liquid, so nothing breaks or spills.

Warm it first A fingertip warming the solid cologne in the gun metal case

Warm it, then press it on

Rub a fingertip on the balm for a few seconds until it softens, then press it onto your wrists and neck. Warming it is what brings the scent out. Up to 3 hours a swipe.

No alcohol Pressing solid cologne onto the wrist

No sting, no spray cloud

Nothing burns on freshly shaved skin. It sits close to you, so the people you talk to notice it, and the rest of the room doesn't.

4.9 out of 5. Here's what they say about the questions you're asking.

Will it fit in my pocket?★★★★★

Being someone who's on the move a fair bit throughout the day, I needed a more convenient way to maintain the fragrance I use. This slips nicely into the coin pocket of any pants and can be applied swiftly and discreetly before showing up at a client's doorstep…

Will people smell it?★★★★★

…the magic starts only when you start to warm up the beewax using your finger and apply it to your skin based on the instructions given in the box… Amazingly, people around me could smell it too, light but noticeable…

Can I travel with it?★★★★★

really like it - I use it for travels as I can't carry normal EDTs on board hand luggage

Verified buyer Solid cologne

Will it feel oily?★★★★★

I was initially worried that the solid gel texture might leave my skin feeling oily, but it actually absorbs well without any greasy feeling

Buying it as a gift★★★★★

I got the diecast as present for my younger brother on his birthday, its worth it! The smell, design of the casing and packaging. You can never be wrong on choosing it as a gift to someone you care about.

Questions before you buy

How long does one swipe last?

Up to 3 hours, sitting close to your skin. It's made to be topped up: the case is in your pocket, so the next swipe takes a few seconds wherever you are.

Will people smell it?

Up close, yes. It sits near your skin instead of filling the room, so the people you're talking to notice it. The Die Cast insert has more fragrance oil (40%) than the tin (36%), so it comes through fuller.

The first swipe felt light. Is that normal?

Yes. A new tin or insert has a thin protective layer on top, and it opens up after the first few uses. Warm it with your fingertip for a few seconds before you press it on; cold balm goes on light.

Will it melt in my pocket?

Body heat softens the surface a little, which is how your fingertip picks it up. Pockets and bags are fine. Keep it out of direct sun. If it ever goes soft, a few minutes in the fridge firms it up again.

Is it greasy? Will it mark my clothes?

You press on a thin layer, so there's no slick film left on your skin. Put it on skin, not on fabric.

Can I take it on a plane?

It packs easily: no glass, no liquid and nothing to spill. Security rules vary by airport, so check yours if you're unsure.

Tin or Die Cast case?

Same alcohol-free cologne, pressed by hand in KL.

The tin is 15g at 36% fragrance oil, in 12 scents, each with its own tin design. RM75.

The Die Cast case is solid zinc alloy with a 10g insert at 40% fragrance oil, in 13 scents. RM150, and refills are RM49 so you keep the case.

How long does a tin or insert last?

About 3 to 5 months of daily use.

How do I refill the Die Cast case?

Open the case, lift out the empty insert, press the new one in firmly and close it. Under 30 seconds, no tools.

What if I don't like the scent?

Swap it. Bring it unused and undamaged to our Damansara Uptown or Petaling Street store, or send it back, and pick another scent.

Where do I start?

Most people start with the Die Cast case and a second scent for RM179, so they have two scents to switch between. If you'd rather start small, take two tins for RM135. See the options
