applying perfume without an atomiser?

pavlovs_dog

I'm slowly trying to use up all my old cosmetics and I still have lots of little bottles of perfume thats I got as a gift set last christmas that I have never used. As they are small bottles, they don't have any kind of spray or atomiser to apply the perfume with. At the risk of sounding a bit thick :eek: I'm at a bit of a loss as to the best way to apply the perfume from these mini bottles.

any bright ideas?

i just tip the bottle up being careful not to drown myself in it lol,but i expect you could apply it on cotton wool if you were worried about the amount

I put my finger on the top (lid open obviously lol) and then tip the bottle other way round. And because my finger is at the top, there's no worry about it being spilt or anything. And then i tip it right way up again and put it on my neck and wherever i want.

1. Open bottle.
2 Put finger tip over opening.
3. Invert bottle onto finger tip.
4. Turn bottle right way up. (This step is crucial BTW:o)
5. Dab fingertip onto wrist/neck/decolletage as appropriate.
Repeat from step 2 until preferred/selected areas have been 'dosed'.
6. Close bottle.;););););););)

When bottle empty remove top and pop in lingerie drawer to get last bit of use out of bottle/fragrance.

Leave there for 20 years or so until great niece comes to clean up and SHE will throw all empty, and now fragranceless bottles away.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
(Or take them home to put on display cos they are so cute!)
By the way when did Boots stop making their 'Broadway' fragrance?

Oh and make sure your fingers are clean with no handcream as this can ch.ange the perfume. You don't get much sillage with dab but if you are happy with that then use the that way. Or you can buy little atomizer bottles and decant into those and spray.

well the ways suggested are things that I had thought of, I feel better for knowing that there isn't some blatantly obvious method that I hadn't thought of. cheers guys
