Strange question, but can anyone tell me the correct name for the 'puffer' bit on an old perfume bottle? I'm trying to label some items and the word completely escapes me.

Had a quick look, and some places call them balls and others call them bulbs. If you google perfume atomiser followed by the alternatives it will give examples.0

Thanks, for some reason my PC crashed and I couldn't do anything with Google. I've hit on a few descriptions now but for a moment my mind went blank.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

I would call it a bulb.
It's dreadful when you can't think of the name of something however hard you try isn't it?0 -
Luca Turin, The Authority on perfumes, calls them bulb atomisers.0

Thank you all, I have used a combination of those for my item.

Even after looking it up in my Luca Turin book it doesn't sound right. Possibly not even English, so your blank moment is completely understandable.0
