You are not supposed to cut Teflon tape. You should pull it apart as cutting leaves a hard stop in the tape potentially causing leaks. When its pulled apart it leaves a semi-tapered edge which doesn't cause a bump. Its all in the directions.
When using Teflon tape, go COUNTER Clockwise with it. That way, when you tighten the sprayer, it doesn't come loose-BTW, I really enjoy you channel. I watch many reviewers, but trust your take on your reviews the most.
I decant as well on eBay, the plastic ones like you said definitely evaporate and leak more then glass. If someone does go that route I suggest using the fragrance quickly as the smell while change if left in the bottle for long enough, I have had some change color too. I may have to invest in some of that tape. I just use clear tape around the outside of the bottle where the threading is underneath and I haven't had any complaints and I've sold quite a few.
The problem with flying with parfum bottles is the Air pressure in the Airplane. The change of pressure causes the Bottle to leak in the bag. Your know, when you fly and your ears hurt form the pressure diffrence and you need to de-compress, same with the Bottles, and they start leaking.
I've thought about doing that but there have been some people that have jacked their bottles doing it. I may try it on a bottle I don't care about to get the hang of it sometime.
Gents Scents I think you leave the needle off and open the hole up on the syringe to fit over the tip. Then draw back on syringe and pump. Full of the syringe. Twist on the needle then fill the decanter. Works perfect. I’ve also used those caps that go over the top that have a straw protruding out to fill the bottle. Basically a atomizer with a long straw. Those work great if they fit the tip of the bottle.
Thanks for this video, Ashton. I found it extremely helpful, as I always have a fragrance I want to bring with me on a trip, but usually don't because I don't want to loose the juice in its entirety. Somehow, I never even considered decanting the juice myself. Thanks again, its appreciated and have a great Vacation!
I was hoping you would talk about the syringe method for decanting. Its alot more effective and keeps the fragrance fresh because its alot less if not at all exposed to air . Iv been having trouble with extracting some of my colognes the with syringe (needless ) and trying to see if theres other ways I can do it. I don't like spraying into bottle/funnel. I have noticed it looses potency and longevity.
Lately I've started saving and using sephora atomizers. They are really small but they are great for traveling. Also, the quality of spray is great! The best part tho, they're free!
My girlfriend works at sephora and I've been having her grab me samples whenever she works. They use nice hard plastic atomizers. I can squeeze them as hard as I can and they do not flex. They also are such a hard plastic, I have trouble believing they'd leech into the fragrance. The caps stay on fairly securely with Teflon tape added alone. You can get these from sephora for free as well.
Those are different atomizers than the ones I'm talking about in the video. The ones that I'm talking about are the 5 and 10ml plastic atomizers that you can find on eBay and that are used by myperfumesamples.com. The Sephora sample atomizers are higher quality than the more common 5 and 10ml plastic atomizers.
Gents Scents Yeah, I was mentioning it more as another option for people. It's a cheap option, but you don't get as much volume, unless you grab a few samples quite often. I should probably buy some bigger glass ones like you have.
Oh yeah, it's definitely a solid option. Sephora is very generous and the samples they give you are a high quality plastic so you don't have to worry about it shattering. I recommend going to Sephora and getting the samples to try things out (or like you said to have a smaller travel size for something you might love and already own).
Gents Scents Luckily for me, since my girlfriend works there, I have a list of fragrances I want her to grab :). Obviously I'm mostly limited to designer scents, but they do have a great selection of Tom Ford private blends too.
That's pretty sweet though, there are a bunch of high quality designers out there and there are some great private blends too. You also don't have to try to act like you're going to purchase something to get samples ;)
Yeah I was thinking the same. I would think the fragrance chemistry changes a bit when atomized. The decant process that way, if you can smell it while doing it, that means lot of the frag atoms are in the air.
I use lipstick atomizers whice are glass and 8 ml i get like 8 for like $15/20 never let me down going on vacation to Florida tomorrow and im taking like 20+...
Heather Diamond if they get hot, they're done. I used to carry them in my pocket and at the end of the day, everything else in my pocket smelled like Bleu de Chanel lol I can't use them anymore
i have a terry Mugler atomizer 30ml comes out at Christmas time only made of glass and rubber 50$ with the juice inside its been going for 16 years no leaks i keep it my car.
If only this video came out earlier. I'm going on vacation on Saturday, I plan on taking Bvlgari Aqva Amara and Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey (finally get to try out the summer fragrances I got in the winter) but both of those are less than 100ml so I can put them in my carry on
If the atomizer is crimped on I usually don't mess with it and just spray. If I didn't care about keeping the bottle I could just take everything off and use a pipette though.
hey bud, im curious if you've smelled Carved Oud by Thameen, Relique d’Amour by Oriza Legrand, or Terre Noire by Mad et Len... those 3 and Au Couer are my absolute favorites and I really respect and appreciate your opinion/input.
I have a question, is it really safe to use the syringe method when decanting? Won't it contaminate the fragrance inside the bottle with air? I Have a friend who used the syringe method and the scent of his cologne changed...
Every time you spray the fragrance, air has to enter the bottle to fill the space of the liquid being sprayed out... So you are introducing air every time you spray a fragrence anyway.
Chanel, Dior, Issey Miyake, Guerlain, Armani, Gucci atomizers are perfect for decanting. Don't you ever try decanting Club de Nuit Intense Man, it's a fucking mess! haha
Is bestbottles still the cheapest for someone not in the biz of selling decants? I just want to give some to family/friends and for personal travel sometimes.
Great video! How do you prevent crossing the finished cologne scent with new refill of different scent? Aren't there traces of previous cologne leftover inside the atomizer, thus changing the scent?
You dont use the same decant with multiple fragrances. The smaller ones are pretty cheap...a couple of dollars. Most people aren't going to be bringing 10 different scents with them on vacation.
Gents Scents yeah its nice but it dead now and in summer time its crazy packed and busy.Most local folks usually don't go there.Here is a lot more better places around bay and down south the cost to chill.Give me a holler next time u come here.
Why do I need teflon tape?(not sure on the name) I got a decant from JZ from facebook, and I removed the plastic thing near the top of the decant.. did I fuck up?
Hey. I got a quick question for yuh. I recently ordered a 5 ml decant and it came in a glass bottle. The first spray had absolutely no smell what so ever it was as if I had sprayed my wrist with water I was worried so prayed it on my other wrist and the second spray smelled perfectly the way it was supposed to (Fragrance was la nuit de lhomme btw) the scent lasted a good amount of hours and I got some compliments throughout so I don't believe it was fake or watered down ect. The same thing happened to me with a decant of spice bomb I had purchased a while back. I was just curious if you know what the reason for the first 1 or 2 sprays having no scent and then coming out perfectly fine afterwards was. Thanks P.S sorry this was so long haha
The decants usually aren't primed so that first spray may come out weaker and it may also have a bit of air in it. I wouldn't worry too much, you should be good.
Yes that's an option. Some people may not want to pay $15 a month though for something that they already own a bottle of when they could buy a few decant bottles for $5 and then have multiple travel colognes.
Decant begins @8:45 -,-
your shirt is what happens when you wash your patterns tops and the polka-dots tops in the same water.
Could be
Kenzo?
I'd probably wear it

You meant clockwise
@@bryanryan4504 depends on the direction of the threads. You put it on in the same direction as tightening.
Well, no
I decant as well on eBay, the plastic ones like you said definitely evaporate and leak more then glass. If someone does go that route I suggest using the fragrance quickly as the smell while change if left in the bottle for long enough, I have had some change color too.

You are absolutely correct. Clear tape is an option also and if that's working for you then no need to change. Thank you for watching!
Ashton, I don't know if you noticed, but those 10ml slim glass bottles are actually 15ml! Try measuring it out.
Solid tips and demonstration. I also do this for poorer performing scents.
Thank you so much Ashton! very helpful. Especially the teflon tape part. Great video bro!
Thanks Max, appreciate it man.
The problem with flying with parfum bottles is the Air pressure in the Airplane. The change of pressure causes the Bottle to leak in the bag. Your know, when you fly and your ears hurt form the pressure diffrence and you need to de-compress, same with the Bottles, and they start leaking.
AWW YOURE A STAR....IM PARTIALLY BLIND AND WASNT SURE HOW TO FILL MY TRAVALO...YOURE VISDEO MADE IT SO STRESS FREE FOR ME🥰🙏🏽🥰
I use a syringe to decant, takes like 30 sec and don't have to keep spraying. So much easier
I've thought about doing that but there have been some people that have jacked their bottles doing it. I may try it on a bottle I don't care about to get the hang of it sometime.
Gents Scents I think you leave the needle off and open the hole up on the syringe to fit over the tip. Then draw back on syringe and pump. Full of the syringe.

Useful info! Thanks! I went on vacation in January. Took glass decants that I purchased. Worked really well. Love the shirt!!!
Thanks Mike! Appreciate your support brother.
Thanks for this video, Ashton. I found it extremely helpful, as I always have a fragrance I want to bring with me on a trip, but usually don't because I don't want to loose the juice in its entirety. Somehow, I never even considered decanting the juice myself. Thanks again, its appreciated and have a great Vacation!
Thank you Alex, back when I started with frags I would just bring whole bottles. It's so much easier now to just stow away a few decants and be set.
thanks Ashton Kirkland on the plumbers tape tip. Your the man.
I always have decants on me, When I want to keep fragrances in my hot car I dont have to carry the whole bottle also can reapply every 4 hours or so
I was hoping you would talk about the syringe method for decanting. Its alot more effective and keeps the fragrance fresh because its alot less if not at all exposed to air . Iv been having trouble with extracting some of my colognes the with syringe (needless ) and trying to see if theres other ways I can do it. I don't like spraying into bottle/funnel. I have noticed it looses potency and longevity.
Yeah this happens to some of mine too. It ruins the scent
I keep the original boxes for most of mine and carry them that way. I also decant too.
Lately I've started saving and using sephora atomizers. They are really small but they are great for traveling. Also, the quality of spray is great! The best part tho, they're free!
Those ones are really good, they last forever too.
Great video Ashton! Hope ya have a great time on your vacation!
Thank you brother

great vid mate, finally motivated me to buy some portable atomizers and glass bottle decants
Love that shirt man, its one of a kind. Never seen anything like that. Haha. Great tips, great video.
Thanks man, it's a Kenzo tee. Thanks for watching brother.
I like that you guys support each others channels.
This guy kills it! Jeremy is entertaining but nowhere near as concise and organized
Dope ass shirt, you're always stylin
Thanks brother
Do you not lose alot of the top notes decanting this way? I like the idea of the removed atomizer tube adapter thing better
Yeah I was thinking the same. I would think the fragrance chemistry changes a bit when atomized. The decant process that way, if you can smell it while doing it, that means lot of the frag atoms are in the air.
How do you clean it out once you’ve used all the juice and want to change it?
Bro going to Italy soon, can you make a whole new video on this. And what would you bring and how many can I bring. Thanks 💪🏼
I use lipstick atomizers whice are glass and 8 ml i get like 8 for like $15/20 never let me down going on vacation to Florida tomorrow and im taking like 20+...
Never needed to use tape or anything like that never had a problem
Thanks for sharing - helpful video.
Been looking for this video.
Very informative! Thanks for the video!
Absolutely, thanks for watching

Good tip with the tape!
travalo's leak terribly. I'd never purchase one again. all of mine leak
Mine did too, I don't use them at this point personally.
King Metta I have like 10 of them. for years. all mine are fine. so weird.
Heather Diamond if they get hot, they're done. I used to carry them in my pocket and at the end of the day, everything else in my pocket smelled like Bleu de Chanel lol I can't use them anymore
I have Travalos for all by colognes.
I agree buy the authentic Travalo, don't buy imitations because they will leak.
i have a terry Mugler atomizer 30ml comes out at Christmas time only made of glass and rubber 50$ with the juice inside its been going for 16 years no leaks i keep it my car.
Great Great !!!! Very educational
Thanks Luis!
I guess I'm lucky cause I've been using travalo for years & not one of mine has leaked yet. I use it for several different frags & never an issue.
Nice vid! I never thought to use plumber's tape :)
Yeah the stuff is super cheap and it seals up the threading nicely.
Awesome video
Great tips, thanks
No problem!
Thanks Ashton. I am a newbie so this was helpful to me. Good video.
👍👌. Happy vacation!!
Great video. I needed this
They're listed in the description, usually SKS.
Thanks brother
Ash how does one decant bvlgari man in black. I despise the atomizer on that perfume.
I put mine in camera bag in lens' space
Nice Informative video. By the by, how many sprays one can expect in a 3ml decant?
I'd say 3-4 sprays per ml on average, though sometimes this depends.
can i decant perfume without a tape??? is tape necessery?
Thanks! For the info
Absolutely
How do you neutralize the fragrence when you want to use your funnel on multiple scents
If only this video came out earlier. I'm going on vacation on Saturday, I plan on taking Bvlgari Aqva Amara and Issey Miyake L'eau D'issey (finally get to try out the summer fragrances I got in the winter) but both of those are less than 100ml so I can put them in my carry on
Sorry Waseem! It's good that you can bring it carry on so you don't have to worry about your bottles breaking though.
No gray here, u look so young:)
Man you've aged well!
What do you recommend as far as bottles that won’t leak and travel well?
I never knew people sprayed it to decant. I just assumed people used a pipette or something
If the atomizer is crimped on I usually don't mess with it and just spray. If I didn't care about keeping the bottle I could just take everything off and use a pipette though.
I bet if you soaked the bottle in white vinegar those bubble wrap marks would come off... might be worth trying
It's a possibility, haven't tried it out
hey bud, im curious if you've smelled Carved Oud by Thameen, Relique d’Amour by Oriza Legrand, or Terre Noire by Mad et Len... those 3 and Au Couer are my absolute favorites and I really respect and appreciate your opinion/input.
I swear by flos I have my perfume in my handbag in a flo...
I have a question, is it really safe to use the syringe method when decanting? Won't it contaminate the fragrance inside the bottle with air? I Have a friend who used the syringe method and the scent of his cologne changed...
Every time you spray the fragrance, air has to enter the bottle to fill the space of the liquid being sprayed out... So you are introducing air every time you spray a fragrence anyway.
I took a bottle on vacation that is now discontinued & going for good money now & it leaked from the heat from the car. Btw awesome shit!
Chanel, Dior, Issey Miyake, Guerlain, Armani, Gucci atomizers are perfect for decanting. Don't you ever try decanting Club de Nuit Intense Man, it's a fucking mess! haha
2 words for me: samplers galore
you put the tape on in the wrong direction!!!
I did, I'm right handed and was just hurrying through.
If some of the juice from an EDT evaporates, does that then make it an EDP? lbvs
So plaatic bottles wins ! 👌
Hey Ashton do you absolutely have to use Teflon tape?
We need update, taking your vaccine on vacation.
Is bestbottles still the cheapest for someone not in the biz of selling decants? I just want to give some to family/friends and for personal travel sometimes.
I live in Virginia Beach next time you in town let’s trade fragrances
I'm so lazy & I just bubble wrap the full bottles.
Whatever works for you, keep on doing it
Do you clean and reuse your decant bottles for different fragrances?
I don't, they're fairly cheap in bulk so I just use a new one.
try sephora metal travel atomiser .is the best
Great video! How do you prevent crossing the finished cologne scent with new refill of different scent? Aren't there traces of previous cologne leftover inside the atomizer, thus changing the scent?
You dont use the same decant with multiple fragrances. The smaller ones are pretty cheap...a couple of dollars. Most people aren't going to be bringing 10 different scents with them on vacation.
Man u went to VA Beach?Thats my home town!
Nice! Love that area man, so much to do and it isn't overrun like some touristy areas are.
Gents Scents yeah its nice but it dead now and in summer time its crazy packed and busy.Most local folks usually don't go there.Here is a lot more better places around bay and down south the cost to chill.Give me a holler next time u come here.
how can i decant my coach for men? help
Why do I need teflon tape?(not sure on the name)
I got a decant from JZ from facebook, and I removed the plastic thing near the top of the decant.. did I fuck up?
Rami Matar helps to keep it from leaking.
5ml with daily use of about 2 sprays a day how long can it last?
carlos ortiz try it
I believe the rule of thumb for atomizers is 10 sprays per ml so if you only did 2 sprays a day you would get 25 days.
DHI!
Hey. I got a quick question for yuh. I recently ordered a 5 ml decant and it came in a glass bottle.

what facebook group are you on?
FragranceSwap, RedolessenceReviews, FragranceGuruNation
Just sub to ScentBird , travel cologne.
Yes that's an option. Some people may not want to pay $15 a month though for something that they already own a bottle of when they could buy a few decant bottles for $5 and then have multiple travel colognes.
