Perfume bottles are pretty, right? We give you these five ideas so you don't throw it away and you can give it another life.
1. Mikado air freshener
You only need to fill the bottle with water, alcohol, the essence of the aroma that you like the most and bamboo sticks. Your home air freshener ready to decorate any space!
We have been inspired
by the YSL Libre bottle and the
Valentino Uomo bottle.
2. Mini flower vases
If you remove the plug you can create vases with small flowers to decorate any corner.
We have loved the simple and aesthetic bottles from
Loewe and the elongated flower-shaped bottle from
Flower by Kenzo .
3. Candle holders
If the mouth of the perfume is a bit wide you can put a candle holder. An ideal candle holder to set a room.
It could look good in Calvin Klein's
ck One Gold and ck One Summer bottles.
4. Hanger or handle
If you are going to make one of the previous ideas, you will have to remove the plug, but don't throw it away! You can use it as a hanger on a wall or wooden strip, or as a special handle on a chest of drawers.
The cap of the
Narciso Rodriguez fragrance could perfectly act as a hanger, we also loved the
Boss Bottled by Hugo Boss as a handle.
5. Magnets for the fridge
If your perfume contains some lightweight decorative element that can be removed, you can put a magnet on the back and use it as a decorative magnet on your fridge or any blackboard.
We like the stopper from
K by Dolce&Gabbana or the decorative bow from
Viva la Juicy from Juicy Couture .
6. Keep it in mind!
You can also opt for refillable perfumes! More and more brands are joining the change of 'refill'.
MUGLER has been refillable since 1992. Discover how to make your MUGLER bottles eternal and reuse them by refilling them thanks to their ECO REfill formats.
Mugler's
Alien and
Angel are two of the pioneering perfumes to incorporate the
refillable option .
