Perfume Decanting Favorites

Before I started decanting I found the whole process to be very intimidating. If you are just getting into fragrance, I am sure you feel the same right now. All our lives it seems like the sprayer is impossible to take off and locked on tight for good reason, to take the cap off?!?! a mission?!?!?! Fortunately, for most situations, it will be unnecessary to pull the sprayer off, unless you are removing a lot of juice from the bottle.

If you are traveling then you probably only need a small amount (in relation to the bottle). I am a self-confessed heavy sprayer, I am talking 8-12 sprays, depending on the scent.  So obviously, I would require a larger amount, but when traveling I take one scent for every 2-3 days so I can switch things up.  3-5 ml bottles are all I need for travel (and are also way more portable than large 100 ml bottles).

You don’t need to remove sprayers for anything under 30mls I wouldn’t go through the trouble.  I have a strong dislike for dabber vials, which are typically used for 1ml samples. It is also worth mentioning that I am not a fan of plastic bottles, but if you are using them for just a few short days they are definitely the more affordable option to look into.

If you are just decanting a small amount you really don’t need to fumble around with taking the sprayer off. In fact, if you could avoid it all together I would. I would rather spray into an empty bottle. Yes, even if I have to do 50+oz! But if you are adamant about getting the sprayer off here is a brief rundown on how to do so:

*Again, I personally am not a fan of doing this.

1. Pull the little nozzle straight off the sprayer by placing your hands under the perfume (cupping the base) and pulling straight up.
2. GENTLY use a knife to pry off the bottom metal base attached to the base of the glass. Again, I say gently because you don’t want to slip and cut yourself, or worse crack the bottle (I know what you’re thinking…that should have been in reverse order)
3. Cut away at the plastic neck and pull out once it is loosened from the lip of the glass bottle. You see why I am not a fan? You will have to replace this, and you also risk introducing foreign substances into the juice until you figure out what you are doing.
4. Use a pipette: Rienar White 3ML Disposable Plastic Eye Dropper Set Transfer Graduated Pipettes (20 PCS)**Do not re-use them, you can introduce foreign substances or mix them up. They are cheap and disposable, it is not worth chancing.  If you prefer you can use a funnel: Perfume Funnel Set – 3 Piecs, Gold Metal Small Funnel (Top Quality) for Refilling Empty Perfume Bottles and Atomizers

I know I put a lot out there. Comment below with any questions :).
