Our ultimate guide to the best perfume atomisers is essential reading. As much as we love holidays, city breaks and staycations, we can all agree that packing is up there with the worst part of travelling – especially when it comes to perfume.
Trying to condense your beauty routine into one tiny 100ml liquids bag is a headache at the best of times, and despite plans for the rule around liquid limits in carry-on luggage to be relaxed by 2024, for now, it’s still a common travel bugbear.
I don’t need to tell you that one of the hardest products to pack when you’re short on space is perfume – a.k.a. heavy, glass perfume bottles that weigh more than most of my clothes. I should know: I had a tragic experience sometime circa 2017 when I was forced to leave my beloved bottle of Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Parfum at Gatwick security. It was a heartbreaking and very expensive loss. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Thanks to handy perfume atomisers, you never have to face giving up your favourite bottle of YSL Libre, Prada Paradoxe or Glossier You. They're miniature, refillable spray perfume bottles, also known as perfume pods, which can be filled with scents you already own. Ranging from luxe to affordable, they can hold up to 10ml of fragrance, so you pop them in your clutch bag on nights out, in an overnight weekender holdall for a spontaneous trip and of course, in that tiny plastic pouch in your carry-on. And Bob's your Uncle.
If you’ve been loyal to your fragrance for years, some atomisers are made by our favourite perfume brands, which come ready filled with olfactory blends by the likes of Tom Ford, Creed, Penhaligon’s and more. While I love using them all year round, they also make the perfect Christmas stocking fillers, so add them to your shopping lists ASAP if you’re in last-minute panic shopping mode.

How do you fill up a perfume atomiser?
The biggest benefit of perfume atomisers is that they’re refillable, so you can buy one and simply swap out the scent depending on what you fancy wearing for a trip. It doesn’t matter if you’re strictly loyal to your Maison Francis Kurkdijan Baccarat Rouge 540 or love to mix it up.
