Broken perfume bottle

Options
Hi I wonder if anyone has any suggestions. I dropped a bottle of perfume on the floor, it is all still intact but the spray mechanism no longer works. I've tried pulling the top off but it seems stuck firm. It's nearly a whole bottle so obviously I don't want to waste it! Any ideas?

    This has happened to me a couple of times. For one of them, i just replaced it with another spray "thing" but the other one is still waiting to find one that fits it.

    First of all , i would eek out the spray mechanism and transfer it to another bottle with a top on. You then could dab it on. then with the old bottle fill with hot water and leave near a radioator to freshen the room!

    contact the manufacturer and tell them you bought a bottle of perfume and the spray mechanism doesnt work, see what they say.
  • Hi, could you ask a strong man to pull the top off with a pair of pliers? (not being sexist, lol). I'd get him to do it outside though as he's bound to spill it. x
    I must remember that "Money Saving" is not buying heavily discounted items that I do not need. :hello:
