Newbie here... LOVE BPAL. Just got introduced and already head-over-heels for "Nocturne"... ordered a full size and extra imps... also loving Black Rose. I love perfume oils. But I adore solid perfumes. And didn't want to buy the beeswax & jojoba oil to make one using an imp... so I tried this. I bought some stick-type lipbalms made with beeswax and jojoba (I used Aromaleigh's plain balm.) Twisted it all the way up and removed the stick of balm, then pushed/twisted the little mechanism back into the bottom of the tube. I put the balm stick into a Chinese-type spoon, made of porcelain or plastic, that has an indented/concave handle (great for pouring!) Melted the balm stick in the spoon, carefully, in the microwave at 30% power, took about one minute. Immediately poured in one imp of Black Rose. Stirred it quickly (wooden skewer) and poured the mixture, through the spoon handle, back in the tube. Let it set in the fridge for ca. 15 minutes, then removed it. So: quickie solid perfume. It doesn't seem to have affected the fragrance at all. time will tell if this works out, and if BPAL does eventually make solids, I'd rather buy those! But in the meantime, I'm hoping this will be a solution to traveling with favorite perfume oils.
