Frequently asked questions
What is solid cologne
A modern take on traditional fragrance. Solid cologne is a wax-based fragrance designed for ease and portability. It delivers the same scent experience as a traditional spray, but in a compact, mess-free form that fits effortlessly into your pocket or travel kit.
How do I use it
Swipe a small amount with your fingertip and apply to pulse points on your wrists, neck, or behind the ears. These areas naturally diffuse scent as your body temperature rises, releasing the fragrance gradually throughout the day.
How long does it last?
You can expect around 4–6 hours of consistent scent. Reapply as needed, Tempest is designed to go wherever you do.
What’s it made from?
Natural waxes, oils, and butters sourced here in New Zealand form the base, blended with high-quality fragrance oils. The result is a smooth, skin-safe formula free from parabens, alcohol, and unnecessary additives.
Will it melt?
Tempest is designed to handle everyday conditions. While it won’t crumble in your pocket or melt in your bag, it’s best kept out of direct sun or the dashboard of your car on a summer day.
Can I travel with it?
Yes. Solid cologne is completely flight-safe and doesn’t count as a liquid. Ideal for carry-on luggage, gym bags, or a quick freshen-up between meetings.
Is it suitable for all skin types?
Yes, our formulation is gentle, fast-absorbing, and designed to mimic the natural oils found in your skin. Perfect for those with particularly sensitive skin. We suggest testing a small amount first, though irritation is extremely rare.
Can woman wear it
Absolutely. Scent has no gender. Each blend is crafted to balance boldness with restraint, wear what feels right to you. Tempest is about confidence, not categories.
How long will one tin last?
Our testing has shown daily use results in a tin lasting 4-6 months. Because the formula is concentrated, you’ll find a little goes further than you think.
How should I store it?
Keep the lid sealed and avoid direct contact with water. Beyond that, Tempest is built to go where you do. Pocket, desk, or bag.
