Just like how you pack your skincare and makeup essentials, you’ll likely want to take along your favourite fragrance on your holiday. The only thing is, your bottle might not be the best travel companion because of its weight or design.
And really, how likely will you be able to finish up the perfume during the short trip? Your best solution (besides transferring your perfume to a portable spray bottle) might well be to get a rollerball perfume. If you can find one of your favourite scent, great.
If not, we say get one of these, because every holiday and overseas trip should come with it a new set of experiences and scent memory, right?
