Perfume for your Purse

I usually don't find solid perfumes to be particularly fragrant once on the wrists, but the Shanghaijava lineCrazylshangblueorchid_lg by crazylibellule and the poppies is a definite exception.  Made in France, but carried online and in stores like Anthropologie, this cute line of solid fragrances are adorably packaged and smell wonderful.  The sticks are small enough to stash in your purse, but have a strong enough scent to really wear as an everyday perfume if you choose.  They have three lines of the solid perfumes and while I smelled all of the floral line, I am really jonesing to smell the confectionary line (who doesn't want to smell like vanilla).  I suggest running the stick over your wrist before buying because I quickly discovered that the scent in the tube doesn't match once it's on your skin.  You would think I would have learned about the whole "try before you buy" technique by now.
