The Travalo is a portable fragrance atomizer that allows users to carry their favourite scents on the go. With its innovative refill system, the Travalo can be filled directly from most standard perfume bottles. To open and refill your Travalo, start by opening your perfume bottle and removing the spray nozzle. This step may require some force as it can be tight. Next, place the bottom of the Travalo onto the small tube or nub at the top of your perfume bottle. Press the Travalo up and down to transfer the perfume from the bottle into the atomizer. Pump until the Travalo is nearly full, then remove it and replace the perfume spray piece on your bottle. The Travalo is now ready for use and can be sprayed to deliver a fine mist of your favourite fragrance. Remember, it is recommended to use each Travalo cartridge for a single fragrance only to prevent cross-contamination.

What You'll Learn
Removing the spray nozzle
To remove the spray nozzle from a perfume bottle in order to fill your Travalo, first open your perfume bottle. Then, take off the top from which the spray comes out. This may be very tight, so you may need to pull up with energy. Once you have removed the spray nozzle, you will see a small tube or a white plastic straw-like piece sticking out. Place the bottom of the Travalo on this tube or straw and pump to fill your Travalo with perfume.
If you are removing the spray nozzle from a squirt bottle, take the gold cap off the top so that just a little tube is sticking up. Then, place the bottom of the Travalo on the tube and pump to fill. It is important to note that you cannot fill the Travalo by pouring perfume into it; it must be pumped in.
Be careful when removing the spray nozzle from your perfume bottle, as it is possible to break the nozzle or damage the thread of the bottle if you are not gentle. If you are having trouble removing the nozzle, try twisting it back and forth to loosen it before pulling up with energy.
Once you have filled your Travalo, remember to place the perfume spray piece back on your bottle and press down to make sure it is tight. Face your spray opening in the direction you want the first spray to come out, being careful not to spray towards your face.

Placing the Travalo on the perfume bottle
To start, open your perfume bottle by removing the top from which the spray comes out. This can sometimes be very tight, so you may need to pull up with some force. If it is a squirt bottle, take the cap off the top so that just a small tube is sticking up. You should now be able to see a white plastic straw that goes from inside the bottle out into the spray top.
Now it's time to place the Travalo on the perfume bottle. Place the bottom of the Travalo onto the small tube (or 'nub') at the top of your perfume bottle. Make sure that the tube is inserted into the Travalo's pump mechanism.
Next, you will see the perfume being extracted from your bottle into the Travalo as you press the Travalo up and down. Keep pumping until the Travalo is nearly full. Be careful not to overfill the Travalo, as this may cause leakage.
Once you have finished pumping, remove the Travalo from the perfume bottle. Now, place the spray piece back on your perfume bottle, being careful to face the spray opening in the direction you want the first spray to come out (not towards your face!). Finally, press down on your perfume bottle sprayer to make sure it's tight and secure.

Pumping the perfume into the Travalo
To pump perfume into the Travalo, start by opening your perfume bottle and removing the top from which the spray comes out. This can be quite tight, so you may need to pull up with some force. Be sure to expose the white plastic straw that goes from inside the bottle out into the top. Next, place the bottom of the Travalo onto the little tube/nub at the top of your perfume bottle. Now, press the Travalo up and down; you will see the perfume being extracted from your bottle and into the Travalo. Keep pumping until the Travalo is nearly full.
Be careful not to overfill the Travalo. When you are done pumping, remove the Travalo and place the perfume spray piece back on your bottle. Make sure to face your spray opening in the direction you want the first spray to come out (not towards your face!). Finally, press down on your perfume bottle sprayer to make sure it's tight.
Note that you cannot fill the Travalo by pouring perfume into it; it can only be filled by pumping. The Travalo's advanced innovative Genie-S ‘pump to fill’ refill system is designed to perfectly transfer your fragrance without spills or damaging exposure to air.

Removing the Travalo
To remove the Travalo refillable perfume spray from its bottle, you will need to unscrew the top part, also known as the "head," from the bottom part, or the "body." Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do this:
Start by holding the Travalo with the spray nozzle facing away from you. Grip the bottom part of the Travalo, just below the level where the spray head meets the body. This will ensure a firm grip and prevent any accidental spills or leakage. Now, with your other hand, grip the top part, which includes the spray mechanism and the small tube that extends into the perfume bottle.
Gently begin to twist the top part in a counter-clockwise direction. It is important to do this slowly and carefully to avoid any damage to the mechanism or spillage of perfume. You should feel a slight resistance as the two parts begin to unscrew. Once you have twisted it enough, you will feel the mechanism loosen, and the two parts will separate.
If you are having trouble unscrewing it, ensure that you are not applying too much force, as this may damage the product. Try again, ensuring that you are twisting in the correct direction and that your grip is secure. You may also try holding the bottom part in one hand and using your other hand to grip a small rubber or silicone pad often found on the base of the spray head, twisting it counter-clockwise to assist in the unscrewing motion.
Once the two parts are separated, you can then refill your Travalo or clean it as needed. Remember to handle the product with care, especially when it is open, to avoid any damage or spills. To reattach the head, simply screw it back on in a clockwise direction, ensuring that it is securely tightened.

Cleaning the Travalo
Cleaning a Travalo atomizer can be quite complex, as all fragrance residues must be removed before filling it with a new scent. In fact, Travalo recommends using each cartridge for just one fragrance. However, if you would still like to clean your Travalo, here is a step-by-step guide:
What you'll need:
A small travel spray bottle with a small nozzle that exerts only slight pressure (available at most drug stores and pharmacies)
Steps:
- Fill the spray bottle with water.
- Pump the Travalo cartridge full of water. Be careful not to overfill it!
- Spray the water out of the Travalo.
- Repeat the process if necessary. It can take up to seven passes to completely clean the cartridge.
Alternatively, if you have the Travalo U-Change system, there is no need to clean the vial. Simply replace it with another fragrance vial, or refill it with a different scent.
