When packing for a holiday I always get stuck when it comes to choosing perfume. I never pack a 100ml bottle as my suitcase is always at the maximum weight limit! So I'm going to look at a few options below.
Firstly there are travel sized atomisers that you can buy however they look so fiddly to me and I'm sure I'd end up wasting half the perfume in the decanting process! Here is a Penhaligon's one with instructions showing you how to fill up the atomiser.
The next option is a solid perfume which are very handy to travel with. When I've used them in the past I've found that initially the scent is quite strong but this fades quickly. I prefer a longer lasting scent. Also in the heat they can melt which isn't great. However I think they're nice to use for a quick pick me up. When AD and I worked at L'Occitane we would spend many hours trying all the different products and solid perfumes have been part of their collections since day one.
The last few holidays I've been on I've packed either sample sized perfumes or a mini bottle I got once as part of a set. These tend to come out mainly around Christmas time so it's a good idea to stock up for future holidays! This Tom Ford Private Blend Collection is a luxurious set and would be such a treat to receive as a gift.
I think this is the best solution though. A few companies now produce travel spray holders that you can refill. One of the perfumes I'm currently using is Diptque's Philosykos so this would be perfect for me.
Acqua di Parma also produce a travel spray and I love the colour of this holder. This is for the Gelsomino Nobile frangrance which has Calabrian Jasmine as its predominant note.
I'd love to hear your perfume packing solutions! MP
