Your Perfume - How about a refill?
by Hayven | Perfumes & Brands
...Here it is, a source thingie at Ulta. I'm being nitpicky here, but I think the Alien juice should be in the purple container. :P

Your Perfume - How about a refill?
by Hayven | Perfumes & Brands
...Pipette:I feel the same way that I rarely finish a bottle. CARON Boutique has urns where certain perfumes can be bought originally from that urn ... don't know about refills.Bond No. 9 also has the refill policy, but one has to purchase new items to get a refill. To me it is not a "thing for the future" as more and more NEW scents get issued at a rapid speed.That doesn't make sense to me, what Bond no 9 does. Might as well buy a new bottle!

...Hayven:There is a source "fountain" at a local Ulta, and I have never seen it touched. How well kept and how often is the source refilled?Really? How big is...

Tragedy. When perfumes turn
by Hayven | Perfumes & Brands
...I follow that trick too with one of my Miss Dior Cherie bottles. The first two sprays are sour, but then the ones after that are fine.

Regulations for perfume on airplane?
by Hayven | Perfumes & Brands
...Hi Sorceress! You can either bring rollerballs or little sprayers, so long as they fit in the quart size baggie in your carry-on luggage.As far as check-in baggage goes, I don't think there is a limit as long as you are flying domestic. If you are going international, I am not sure what the limits are but I imagine it might vary from area to area...? I am assuming this trip is international. I wouldn't risk bringing full bottles over with you. You'll see why in a little bit.I don't know what kind of perfumes are sold on the plane, but there are duty-free shops in the airport that sell perfume. You have to show your passport and ticket to prove that you are flying out of the country. I don't find the markups to be huge internationally--of course, you have to take into account exchange rate of your currency or if you use a credit card, the exchange rate through your credit card company. The stock varies, but I have seen designer fragrances mostly--Burberry, Elizabeth Arden, Hugo Boss, Nina Ricci, Givenchy, etc. If you do make a purchase, they put the perfume in a special clear bag that is to remain sealed during your flight. So really, I would recommend buying perfumes on your way back home so that you can carry them with you on the plane instead of having them sitting in your checked-in luggage, wondering what is going on with them. One time I had checked-in baggage for a domestic flight with two new perfumes, and somebody stole them. :( Thankfully I reported it and I was reimbursed by the airline because I had receipts. When you arrive, you are supposed to declare the cost of the items you brought over with you. I think you get taxed if you purchased a certain amount (like $600 or something...it's been 3 years since I flew overseas so maybe the rules have changed). I hope this helps some! Where are you going, if I may ask?

...To be honest, if I was a die hard fan of Mugler perfumes, I could see why people would want the refills for the menagerie of bottles in their collection. But for me, I rarely finish a bottle and if I do, chances are I would move onto another perfume to try. There is a source "fountain" at a local Ulta, and I have never seen it touched. How well kept and how often is the source refilled?

...Would Dior Addict and its flankers count? You turn the top on or off for the spray.

The Significant Other - Perfumes?
by Hayven | Perfumes & Brands
...My boyfriend doesn't have much interest in fragrances. I have bought him a few as well as given him samples. Most of the time, he uses the Oak deodorant spray from bath and body works I bought for $3 on clearance. He doesn't like much of anything I wear and often says, "it stinks". Whatever. :PLike Scarletting, he see that the hobby keeps me happy so he doesn't complain about it.If anything, he shows more interest in the lotions, soaps, and candles I buy. He loves candles, especially ones that smell like pine, oak, vetiver, etc.

...Hmm. I wrote what I thought was a nice email and the company told me I couldn't get any for free. I offered to pay shipping, but I was told it would be 20 pounds, no matter how little or large of an order it was. You were lucky!
