How to Travel With your Favorite Perfume?
Perfumes are mostly displayed on the vanity of everyone’s houses; however, you do not leave them behind while traveling. To know how to pack them in your luggage is very important.
As perfume has a liquid form, it can cause many problems while carrying it on a long flight. And also, the glass bottles are pretty delicate to move, so the chances of breaking them in inevitable.
Therefore, you can find travel bottles to pour your favorite perfume by leaving your precious bottle at home. Also, there is a restriction on how much fragrance you can carry while traveling, which you must check before taking more than you are allowed to.
How to Pack Perfume in a Carry-on and Checked Bag?
It is vital to pack a fragrance properly before putting it into your carry-on or checked bag. For carry-on bags, Fill a clear, quart-size sealable bag with all your liquid products, including fragrance. Each traveler is permitted to bring one quart-sized bag in their carry-on luggage.
To prevent the delicate glass from breaking, wrap this bag beneath soft clothes tucked deep inside your carry-on or checked bag. This step is unnecessary if you pack it in a durable container, such as a perfume atomizer.
Last but not least, you’ll need to remove this bag when you pass through security, so make sure you still have access to it so you can pass through TSA without experiencing any difficulties.
For checked bags, you are permitted to include any liquid items, including a full-size bottle of cologne. Smaller sizes are easier to pack, but there is more hassle as these leak more frequently.
If you still want to bring your full-size fragrance, pack it separately from other products in a clear, leak-proof bag.
Before packing, nestle your bag within soft clothing or bubble-wrap your bottle.
How to Bring Perfume on a Plane?
When bringing perfume on a plane, always remember that there is a limited amount that you can carry on carry-on bags. If you just intended to bring a carry-on bag, you will need to follow the TSA liquid rules, which impose restrictions on both the size and packing of your bag.
All carry-on liquids, including gels, lotions, and aerosols, must be in containers no more significant than 3.4 ounces, according to the TSA’s 3-1-1 rule. These items have to be kept in a closed plastic bag, and one passenger can only carry one of them.
If you want to carry a whole bottle, you brought for yourself or took as a gift, put it in a checked bag.
How to put perfume in a travel atomizer?
A perfume atomizer can be filled using one of three techniques. These are the procedures:
Metal atomizers: They have a transparent portion where you can check the juice level and a metal casing to preserve the juice. Remove the perfume bottle’s sprayer and cap first, and press the atomizer’s bottom against the bottle’s nozzle.
Raise the atomizer and down it to inject the fragrance.
Plastic atomizer: Simply lift the cap off and detach the sprayer to remove the plastic atomizer’s top.
After removing the perfume bottle’s cap, place it on the atomizer. Spray the perfume into the atomizer by pushing it up and down on the sprayer. Spray continuously until the atomizer is entire. The sprayer is then screwed back.
Splash bottle: Remove the sprayer of the atomizer and the primary bottle’s top from the splash bottle. Put a little funnel on top of the atomizer, then pour perfume into the funnel from the perfume bottle; the liquid will then be transferred into the atomizer by the funnel.
How to Put Perfume in Cotton Balls for Traveling?
Putting perfume in the cotton balls is another essential trick you can use while traveling. It requires lesser space and weight. Most importantly, there is no risk of spilling your perfume.
Spray your fragrance on a couple of cotton balls and put them in a small bottle. Cotton can absorb perfume very efficiently; therefore, it lasts for a long time. You only have to dab the cotton ball on your skin to transfer the scent to you.
Most perfumes are made of alcohol which evaporates from the cotton, but the essential oil stays there.
Do not worry if the cotton balls look dry, and they still carry the scent. If you still think they are too dry, add a few drops of water, and the smell will be transferred to you smoothly.
Expert Tips You Need to Travel With Perfume
- Carry perfume in traveling bottles: You can only carry a certain amount of liquid on your carry-on, and even if you carry a full bottle in your checked bag, you should ignore doing that because it will take more space and weight of your bag. Instead, use a travel-sized kit available for perfumes. Then you can fit it anywhere in your bag and quickly get past TSA.
- Pick one or two fragrances: It is not realistic to take a lot of perfume bottles with you while travelling. Rathe, I’d advise to take only one or two signature scents with you. Think of where you are going and choose your scent according to that. If you are going for a romantic holiday, take a floral fragrance; if you require activities, take a fresh citrusy scent.
- Properly wear perfume: As you take a small amount of scent, it can last for one month. You must try to increase its longevity. Apply it after a shower and on moisturize the skin. Spritz on the nerve points so that it stays longer for your body.
