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. "Amplify your one-of-a-kind personality & magnify your iridescent vibe with our Kaleidoscope Solid Perfume! 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.

Each piece in this year's collection is inspired by some of the most beloved fairytales, evoking memories and wonder from our childhood. A wonderful gift, it arrives in an elegant presentation box. Includes a velvety pouch to keep the compact safe." What perfume is it? Who knows! $275 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
