Как заправить парфюмерный флакон в домашних условиях? [Полное руководство!]

If you don’t want to spend a lot of money buying brand new bottles of perfume but at the same time want to smell great, buying fragrance in bulk can be a great practical option. But you don’t want to carry around a gallon of perfume, which is why you want to learn how to refill a smaller bottle at home.

To refill a perfume bottle, you need to remove its lid, spray pump cap, and base sale before taking out the nozzle completely. Then you must add perfume to the empty bottle using a dropper or a funnel and put everything back in place with the seal being last and optional.

In this article, you will learn about the nuances of each step, so you don’t end up breaking the bottle or refilling one only to find it leaking in your bag. Read through to learn how to:

  • Open the bottle without breaking the neck
  • Remove the base seal
  • Fill the bottle without spilling perfume
  • Put everything back as tightly as possible

How to Open a Perfume Bottle to Refill Without Breaking It?

Opening a perfume bottle is easy. But to replace a perfume, you must open it in a way that no part of the perfume bottle is compromised.

When you open one without knowing what you’re doing, you might either end up having a harder time closing it. In the worst-case scenario, you might actually break the bottle. So how do you avoid this?

To open a perfume bottle to refill without breaking it, you must use pry open the seal that clamps the pump lid against the glass neck of the bottle. Using a pocket knife or pliers, you can reach underneath the base seal and gently loosen the clamp’s hold around the glass neck.

One thing to remember is that not all bottles can be reused once opened. The perfume bottles that contain a metal-crimped top underneath the metal clamp (the tight ring on the top) are likely to get damaged in the process of opening the bottle. It is very hard to open such clamps without damaging the bottle or the spray head and thus often renders it difficult to use again.

However, if you see a plastic-crimped top underneath the metal clamp, you will definitely be able to put the head back on once you’ve refilled the bottle! Even so, you have to be careful while opening the bottle such that you don’t damage it.

You must consider the following best practices when attempting to open up a perfume bottle with a metal holder.

  • Do not attempt to jack the metal clamp – The tight ring that holds together the pump lid and the glass bottle is malleable and can be loosened by sneaking a mental blade between the clamp and the glass. However, if you try to leverage the blade and flip the bottle open, the metal seal will bite into the glass and break.
  • Be patient and loosen one area at a time – Don’t see opening the bottle as the end goal. Focus on loosening the metal clamp in one area at a time. You’ll have a much easier time being patient instead of getting restless and putting the bottle at risk.
  • Use the thinnest, straightest metal strip – From pliers to a knife to a scissor blade; you can use many metal blades to loosen the metal seal. The best one is the thinnest blade that won’t budge when you use it to leverage open the seal.

How to Refill a Perfume Bottle? Step by Step Process

Refilling a perfume bottle that comes as a one-and-done purchase can be tough. But if you know how to open the bottle, all you need is a clear step-by-step tutorial on how to refill and seal it, so it doesn’t leak.

Follow the steps below, and you’ll have a refilled bottle that will look like you just got it from the store.

Step One – Open the Bottle

This step is the hardest one of all in this process but is relatively easy if the perfume bottle you’re working with is a refillable one. Most perfume bottles, however, are sealed, and if the container itself is made of plastic, you’ll have a tough time removing the seal at the base without breaking the glass. Remove the pump top and any components up to the base that can be removed easily. 

Once the base clamp is all that’s left between the top cover and the bottle itself, you must consider whether it is made of plastic or metal. If it is a plastic one, use a slim knife to break the seal.

If it is made of metal, you’ll need to use pliers or a slimmer knife to patiently loosen it by pulling it away from glass, one area at a time.

Step Two – Clean the Perfume Bottle

Before you are ready to put the new perfume in your bottle, you need to get rid of the smell of the previous perfume that occupied the bottle.

If you have any leftover perfume in the bottle, take it out into mini glass spray bottles. Make sure that you go with glass bottles even for your leftover perfume as they are better for your perfume than plastic ones.

Once the perfume has been extracted, wash and clean the bottles thoroughly. Once you rinse the bottle, it is recommended to put the empty bottle in boiling water so that all the extracts of perfume can be removed thoroughly. Since perfume contains oils, extracts of perfume tend to stick to the container surface even after cleaning it with normal water.

Put the bottle completely submerged in water in a utensil and heat it to a boil. Depending on the amount of water, it may take 10-15 minutes to reach boiling point. You can turn off the gas once you see a lot of bubbles in the boiling water.

Then, carefully remove the hot boiling water from the utensil without dropping the bottle. Let the bottle cool down a bit before you handle it. Then, clean and dry the bottle using cotton swabs or a tissue.

Step Three – Fill the Bottle With the Perfume You Want

This is a crucial step but is quite easy because the worst thing that can happen is that you might spill some perfume. Depending on how expensive the fragrance is, this too can be risky.

You can use a dropper like Ezy Dose Dropper or a syringe/pump to avoid spilling perfume during the process. But ultimately, once the seal is off and you can remove the nozzle and the spray, leaving behind the bottle, you just need to fill it as you would any other container.

Step Four – Shut the Bottle by Screwing on the Nozzle and Cap

The final step features shutting the bottle by putting back everything the best you can. Here, chances are, you might face some trouble putting back the seal. That’s understandable because bottle seals are made so that they can’t be tampered with without being obvious.

Plastic seals aren’t flexible and are broken in step one, which means you can only put back the nozzle and the pump cap. That’s fine because the perfume doesn’t spill in the absence of its seal; it just can’t be sold. If your perfume has a metal base seal, you might be able to put it back on more easily with tick pliers and gentle pressure if you’ve managed to get it out of the bottle!

Again, make sure you don’t go overboard and break the bottle.
