Filling a 5ml perfume bottle is a straightforward process, but it depends on the type of bottle and the container your perfume is in. The most common methods involve using a funnel, a syringe, or a pump atomizer. Some people also use a pipette or pour the perfume directly into the bottle. When filling the bottle, it is important to leave some space at the top to prevent leakage and to ensure the bottle can be sealed properly. These small bottles are perfect for travel, allowing you to carry your favourite fragrances wherever you go without the bulk of a large bottle.

What You'll Learn
Using a funnel to pour perfume into the bottle
Filling a 5ml perfume bottle using a funnel is a straightforward process. First, you will need to choose a funnel that fits. The funnel should be small enough to fit into the neck of the 5ml bottle, so a standard kitchen funnel may be too large. You can purchase small funnels from local stores or online.
Once you have your funnel, place it tightly into the neck of the bottle. You may wish to cover your work surface with a plastic sheet or cloth to protect it from any spills. Then, slowly pour your chosen perfume into the funnel. Pour steadily and slowly to avoid overfilling the bottle. When the bottle is about three-quarters full, stop pouring.
Before removing the funnel, check that the bottle is not completely full. You will need to leave a little room at the top for the nozzle. If you have overfilled the bottle, you can use a cloth to wipe away any excess liquid. Now, carefully remove the funnel and screw the spray nozzle back into place.
Your 5ml perfume bottle is now ready to use. This method is ideal for transferring perfume from a non-spray bottle into a travel atomizer.

Spraying perfume directly into the bottle
To transfer perfume from its original bottle into a 5ml travel bottle, you will first need to remove the spray cap and the plastic cap from the perfume bottle. Then, hold the perfume’s sprayer up to the travel bottle so that it points inside the opening. Gently push down on the sprayer to spritz the fragrance into the new bottle. Keep spraying until you have filled the travel bottle to your desired amount, leaving at least 0.64 cm of space at the top so you can replace the sprayer.
If your travel bottle has a sprayer already crimped or sealed on, you may need to use a funnel to transfer the perfume. Alternatively, you can take the sprayer off the main perfume bottle and fit a plastic syringe over the nozzle. Press down on the nozzle and pull the syringe plunger up to fill the syringe with fragrance. Then, put the syringe into the travel bottle and press the plunger down to fill it.
If you are using a metal travel atomizer, you can fit the bottom of the atomizer onto the perfume bottle’s nozzle and pump the sprayer until the atomizer is full. If your atomizer is a screw-on, you may need to use a pipette to transfer the perfume.
It is normal for a bit of perfume to spray out when you put the sprayer back on the bottle, so point the bottle towards a sink to avoid getting it in your eyes. It is also normal for the first few pumps of the travel bottle to not spray perfume, as this removes the air from the bottle.

Using a metal atomizer to fill the bottle
Filling a 5ml perfume bottle using a metal atomizer is a straightforward process. First, remove the cap from your main perfume bottle, leaving the nozzle exposed. Next, take off any outer metal casing from your travel bottle; this makes the filling process easier.
Now, fit the bottom of your metal atomizer onto the perfume's nozzle. You may need to align a small hole at the bottom of the atomizer with the pipe of the perfume nozzle. Once the atomizer is in place, pump or press the atomizer up and down to fill it with perfume. Keep pumping until the atomizer is full, but be careful not to overfill it.
Some atomizers have a window that allows you to monitor the volume of perfume inside. If your atomizer doesn't have this feature, simply watch the side of the bottle to know when it's full.
Once your 5ml bottle is full, gently remove it from the main perfume nozzle. Then, replace the metal covering and the cap on the main bottle. Finally, screw the sprayer back onto your travel bottle and put the cap on to prevent leaks.
Your 5ml perfume bottle is now filled and ready to use or take with you on your travels.

Removing the spray nozzle from the main bottle
To remove the spray nozzle from the main perfume bottle, first remove the plastic or glass cap protecting the sprayer. Then, grip the cylindrical sprayer at the top of the bottle and gently pull it straight up to expose the short, vertical nozzle underneath. If the sprayer is difficult to remove, try wrapping it in a paper towel and using a pair of pliers to get a better grip.
The sprayer on your perfume bottle may be made of metal or plastic, depending on the fragrance. If you are refilling a metal travel atomizer, you will need to remove the spray nozzle from the main bottle. However, if you are refilling a glass or plastic travel bottle, you can choose to remove the nozzle or simply spray or pour the perfume directly into the bottle.
If you are refilling a metal travel atomizer, ensure that the small plastic opening on the bottom end of the atomizer is aligned with the nozzle on the main perfume bottle. Gently push down on the atomizer to begin filling it with perfume. Continue pumping the atomizer up and down until the bottle is full.
Once the travel atomizer is full, gently pull it off the main perfume bottle. You can then slowly press the sprayer back onto the nozzle of the main bottle before replacing the cap. Be careful when replacing the sprayer, as some perfume may spray out. It is normal for the travel atomizer to require a few pumps before it begins to spray perfume again, as the first few pumps are necessary to remove air from the bottle.

Reattaching the sprayer and cap
Once the travel bottle is full, gently remove it from the main perfume bottle. Point the main perfume bottle towards a sink and slowly press the sprayer back onto the nozzle. You may need to gently screw the sprayer clockwise until it is secure. A bit of perfume may spray out when you put the sprayer back on, so be sure to point the bottle away from your face. Then, put the cap back on the main perfume bottle.
If you are reattaching the sprayer and cap to your travel bottle, simply screw the sprayer back in place until it is secure. Then, put the cap on top of the bottle to prevent leaks.
If you are using a metal travel atomizer, you may need to slide the metal casing off to expose the small plastic opening at the bottom. Align the opening with the nozzle of the main perfume bottle and gently push down. Continue pumping the bottle up and down until the travel bottle is full. Then, replace the sprayer and cap of the main perfume bottle.
It is normal for your travel bottle to not spray perfume for the first few pumps after filling it. This is because the first few pumps are removing air from the bottle before it starts spraying perfume.
