Hey Beauties, thanks for accepting my account on your wonderful forum. I have found so many great tips already by just skimming through I thought I would ask my own question.

What are you favourite classic fragrance bottles, either the style or the individual bottles. I am trying something where I go and fill old perfume bottles with the nice little sprays to make the house/car smell better. I think it looks really good so far, and it feels amazing to use one of the old bottles with a pump on it inside your car.

I would love it if you all could give me some pictures of the bottles you have in mind so I can try and source them, or even better would be places online that sell the bottles already empty. I am sure you lovely ladies will be able to help me :)

After talking with some ladies on here in OZ, I found this site that has lots of used stuff for sale called http://www.used.forsale/australia and after scouring all of the ads getting posted for this week, I have myself a nice collection of the old style bottles that I am going to try a couple different techniques for filling. Wish me luck <3

How do you refill perfume bottles? I'd love to know as I have a few empty bottles that are just too pretty to throw away. I think there are facebook groups where you can trade perfume and empty bottles.

Really love the idea BSparkle! What kind of pump do you mean? Like the reeeeally olden-style perfume bottles you see in the movies? Because I don't have any of those... though out of the more modern bottles I really love the shape of JLo's Luxe - such a beautiful shape, and all those colours!

That is exactly the kind I am thinking of, getting some old bottles with the pump sprayer if possible. I have found a couple videos online and some threads on different forums that talk about how to re-fill different topped bottles, so I think it will have to be a trial and error process to find out what ones work best.

I tried using a beautiful atomiser that my mother gave me. That's how I found out it was only desgiend to be an ornament :(

Sounds like a nice idea. We have a couple of perfume bottles still in the bathroom with no perfume because the bottles were too pretty to throw out.

I haven't found a bottle that's stunning enough to keep yet.
