How to Choose the Best Glass Spray Bottle for DIY Perfume?

The DIY perfume not only allows you to freely mix the unique aroma, but also adjust the concentration and composition according to personal preferences, to create a truly exclusive fragrance of their own.

Choosing the right glass spray bottle is not only about the aesthetics of the perfume, but also has a direct impact on the preservation and use of the perfume. High-quality glass spray bottles can effectively prevent the perfume from oxidizing and maintain the purity of the aroma, while the effectiveness of the spray also determines the feeling of using the perfume. Therefore, a good glass spray bottle is not only a container for perfume, but also a key factor to improve the quality of DIY perfume.

1. Material and quality

• • High borosilicate glass vs. ordinary glass:

High borosilicate glass is resistant to high temperature and corrosion, suitable for long-term storage of essential oil perfumes, while ordinary glass is less costly and suitable for daily use.

• • The difference between transparent, frosted or tinted glass and its use:

Transparent glass is easy to observe the color of perfume and suitable for display, but it is easy to be affected by light and accelerated oxidation;

Frosted glass is both beautiful and light-blocking, and it can protect the perfume ingredients to a certain extent;

Tinted glass, such as amber and dark blue, can effectively resist ultraviolet rays, and it is suitable for storing perfume that is easy to evaporate or light-sensitive.

2. Matching bottle tops to spray pumps

• • Fine mist nozzle vs. coarse mist nozzle:

Fine mist nozzle atomization effect is better, suitable for eau de toilette, can evenly cover the skin or clothing; Coarse mist nozzle spray strength is larger, suitable for strong perfume or hair fragrance spray.

• • Pump head material (plastic vs. metal)

Plastic pump head lightweight, lower cost, but may affect the spray fineness; metal pump head more durable, good sealing, suitable for high-end perfume use.

3. Capacity options

4. Sealing and leakage resistance

• • Screw cap vs. press-on nozzle

The screw cap design is more airtight, but needs to be unscrewed before use, which is slightly inconvenient to operate.

Push nozzles are easy to use but require a leak-proof design.

5. Design and personalization

• • Classic bottle vs. creative shapes

Classic bottle shapes such as square and round, simple and generous, suitable for all kinds of perfume without mistakes.

Creative shapes add interest and are suitable as gifts or collections.
