Are There any Perfumes in Unbreakable (plastic?) Bottles?

PasturesNew

I would like to buy some perfume for somebody who "isn't able". They'd not be safe around a glass bottle at all. I was wondering, therefore, if there are any in plastic bottles?

Must have a press/spray, not one where you unscrew the top and can tip the contents out either.

I don't think ive ever seen one. Probably the plastic would react with the perfume?

My mum used to wear Miss Dior which came in a container which was made of aluminium, it was a spray. The container was blue if I recall.

You can get those body type sprays - Impulse - they come in aluminium containers and have a spray mechanism.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, yeah, body sprays, but it was more perfume and a bottle to look at I was after.

Hi I am thinking outside the box here so bear with me please.

You could buy a bottle of perfume with a screw top and transfer it into another plastic bottle that you can get with a spray top. I use these when I go on holiday so that no bottle break in my case. Just a thought this might be the solution.

Thanks, but I was looking for it for a significant birthday gift, so wanted the "look of a perfume bottle". It's for somebody with dementia, poor decision making and no grip/osteoporosis.

I think you'll struggle with this one. The perfume will evaporate from a plastic bottle eventually and so will have a much shorter shelf life. Also, the alchohol content could dissolve some of the plastic over time which would change the smell.

For these reasons, I wouldn't expect any manufacturers to use plastic bottles.

The only thing I can think of is getting an atomiser?

What about something like this?

Or buy an aluminium atomiser (loads on the market) and fill with the perfume of your choice. If you make a bit of effort with the packaging around it (a nice box, etc), and maybe you could find a way to glue a picture on the bottle or something (I'm sure a bit of googling will find someone who as done something similar), it could make a lovely gift. Maybe make a little box set, with a matching body lotion.

Most perfume bottles are made of pretty thick glass though so I would have thought they'd be hard to break. Would a scented talcum powder or body lotion be more suitable?

I wonder if something like this would be suitable.

Very pretty and celebratory iykwim and looks like a perfume dispenser so will hopefully be recognised as such by the lady in question

Lots of other styles to chose from in a very quick search

That looks lovely. I might just order one for myself. Thanks for. The link.
