There are many reasons why you would like to refill perfume. You may want to carry a travel bottle that you can use for a few days instead of carrying the whole bottle. You may also want to fill up a small perfume bottle using a larger bottle. Whatever the reasons, you will need to know how to refill perfume bottles to avoid making a mess or break the bottle.
How to Refill Perfume Bottles
There are several ways you can use to effectively refill or fill up a perfume bottle. In this article, we’ll discuss three options that should help you with this endeavor.
How to Refill Perfume Travel Bottles from Splash Bottles
Before you start, remove the cap from the main perfume and your travel bottle. The sprayer from the empty bottle can be removed by twisting off the sprayer. Once the bottles are open, you can use the following steps to refill your perfume bottle.
Step 1: Prepare the Bottle
Make sure you can see the amount of perfume available in both bottles. Remove any casing or decoration that could keep you from accurately measuring how much perfume is left.
Step 2: Start the Refilling Process
Use a small funnel to refill your perfume travel bottle. This will help you avoid spilling and wasting any perfume during the refilling process.
Step 3: Transfer the Perfume
Pour perfume from the splash bottle into the funnel. Be careful not to pour too fast as this will make it more difficult to control the process. To keep a steady hand, hold the funnel at the base and tip of the travel bottle to be refilled.
Step 4: Finish Up
Replace the cap, casing, and sprayer on the newly refilled bottle. Twist the sprayer to put it back into place and put back the cap. Do the same for the splash perfume bottle and you’re done.
How to Refill Perfume Travel Bottles from Atomizers
Most perfume travel bottles come with an outside casing to protect the inside unit.
Step 1: Start the Refill Process
Hold the main bottle to the top of your empty perfume bottle. Hold the bottle directly above the empty bottle to the point that they both are almost touching. This will ensure the perfume goes directly into your empty perfume bottle.
Step 2: Refill the Empty Perfume Bottle
Push down on the sprayer of the main bottle. Do this multiple times with pauses in between. This ensures air is able to escape and allow more perfume to enter the bottle you want to be refilled.
Fill up continuously and make sure to stop when you fill 75% of the empty bottle. You should not completely fill the empty perfume bottle, otherwise, you may experience some issues when you try to put back the sprayer.
Step 3: Finish Up
Now you can screw the sprayer back into place. Usually, you have to turn it clockwise to tighten it. Once you’ve fastened the sprayer, put the cap back and you will be done.
How to Refill a Metal Travel Perfume Bottle Using a Perfume Atomizer
Start by removing the cap of the main perfume bottle. This usually consists of glass or plastic. Once you remove the cap, you can remove the sprayer. Usually, turning it anticlockwise will do the trick.
When you remove the sprayer, a short vertical nozzle should be left in the empty bottle. Use the following steps to refill your empty metal travel perfume bottle.
Step 1: Remove the Metal Casing
You need to remove the metal casing from the empty bottle if it has one. Some perfume bottles include a casing for decoration as well as protection from any possible damage. To remove the casing, hold it between your thumb and index finger and slide it off.
Removing the casing certainly makes the refilling process easier. You should now have a small tank or bottle ready to be refilled with perfume.
If your empty bottle does not have a casing, that’s okay. In some cases, you may not need to remove the casing at all.
Step 2: Align the Bottles
You will notice a small red dot at the bottom of the empty perfume bottle. Place the bottom of the empty bottle on the spray nozzle of the bottle filled with perfume. Make sure you align the nozzle with the red dot on the empty bottle.
Step 3: Refill the Perfume
Gently press down the perfume filled bottle on the empty perfume bottle. If the nozzle is not properly aligned, you will notice some perfume leaking. Adjust accordingly to ensure you minimize any wastage.
Pressing the perfume filled bottle downwards will release perfume into the empty bottle. This means you can pump as required or until the bottle is 75% full. Remember to release for a few seconds between each pump.
To gauge how much perfume you have, look to the side of the bottle you are refilling. You will notice an increase in perfume with every press and release. Continue until you fill the bottle to a maximum of 75%.
Step 4: Finish Up
Once you are satisfied with the amount of perfume you have, put the caps back on both bottles. Now you can put back the sprayer on the bottle you were refilling. Be careful when you are replacing the sprayer.
You may have decided to completely fill the empty bottle. If this is the case, make sure the sprayer is facing away from you, especially your eyes. Ideally, place the bottle in a sink as you put the prayer back on. This will ensure you do not accidentally spray yourself or your eyes.
