Q&A for How to Refill a Perfume Travel Bottle

For added safety, place the travel-sized perfume bottle in a leak-proof bag or a separate Ziploc bag before packing it in your luggage. It's best to double-bag it to be extra cautious.

Pry open both the sprayer's cap and mechanism, then fill it with sprays of the desired perfume. Seal it tightly to prevent leakage. Plastic samples are generally easier to refill than glass ones.

Put rubbing alcohol in it and spray it all out to clean the old scent from your atomizer.

You can repurpose sample perfume vials, mini sprayers, or other small spray bottles like those used for eyeglass cleaner. Just make sure to rinse them before use to avoid contaminating your scent.

You might have a defective atomizer. If possible, return it to the store. Alternatively, consider finding sprayers that open at the top, allowing you to fill them like a bottle.

Try spraying the perfume into travel bottles that open like regular bottles instead of ones that fill through the bottom of the travel atomizer.
