9 Solid Colognes That Are TSA-Friendly, and Smell Amazing

ANYONE WHO has attempted to take a bottle of cologne through a TSA checkpoint knows that traveling with fragrance can be a major headache. There’s the size of the bottle (is it less than 3.4 oz?) but also the weight, the space it takes up in your dopp kit, even the potential for breaking. We all want to smell good wherever we are, but sometimes traveling means choosing between smelling good and making it through security on time.

That’s where solid colognes come in. Not only are these scented balms ideal for travel (no liquids, smaller containers) but they can also fit in your pocket, gym bag, dopp kit, and really anything else so you’re never without your signature scent. They’re also way easier—and more polite—to reapply in public spaces. Solid colognes are typically going to be more subtle than their spray counterparts, but that doesn’t mean they’re less dynamic. The best solid colognes (i.e. the ones on this list) take all this into account: the type of elevated fragrance you’d find in a more traditional spray, but with the convenience of a solid.
