The mini compact measures 42mm tall (just over an inch and a half) by 33mm wide (1 1/4 inches) and the inside recessed circle for the solid perfume pan measures 23mm. The small tray will supply about 30 applications of the fragrance. Also included is an 8.5 x 11 printed information paper which is folded and sealed with the signature bee wax seal.
These pretty compacts are made here in the USA from vintage molds that go back to the 1940's. Each one has been plated with a special finish to create an antique quality. No lead or nickel have been utilized.
You can also order the solids pans individually so that you can choose a different scent for each occasion: http://www.etsy.com/listing/58377794/natural-perfume-refill-for-antique

I put the solid natural perfumes in separate aluminum pans so that they will not adversely react with the metal. This insures longevity of your perfume and also gives you the option to swap out different fragrances. If you would like to order several different tins for your locket please convo me and I will create a special listing for you.
Romantic, antique inspired this mini compact opens to reveal a separate little tin pan filled with To Bee solid natural perfume. When snapped shut, the front of the oval shaped compact contains a Victorian diamond design that has a warm antique brass finish. The ornate design is engraved, so you can feel it if you run your finger over it. Pretty and feminine! The compact arrives in a small pouch, perfect as a gift, for travel and/or your purse.
I hand make pure, organic, botanical perfume exclusively with vital plant material, true "nature" perfume. An altar to your essential nature
The synergy for the perfume is made with essential oils, c02 extracts and absolutes (Resins, Wood, Spice, Mimosa, Sweet Clover Absolute and Beeswax Absolute) with many of my own unique accords in a base of infused honey comb from local bee rescues here in Los Angeles. Read more about the formulation and notes at my journal: http://journal.illuminatedperfume.com/
This is the perfect gift for those allergic to traditional perfume
The name "To Bee" is a reference to who the perfume was made in reverence to as well as the Shakespeare quote from Hamlet ""To be of not to be, that is the question?" After all, if we continue to destroy our natural environment true botanical perfume will no longer be possible, the honey bee will become extinct and life as we know it will cease to exist.
