Metal Perfume Atomizers (Was RE: along the same lines...)

[Guest guest]

Hi Andrea,

 

They SHOULD be ok for putting perfumes and AT blends into - at least one

would hope if they are selling them as perfume containers *lol*

 

Many of the aluminum containers sold with the intention of having

essential oils and/or perfume put into them have a food grade lacquer

coating on them to prevent contact between the aluminum and the

contents.

 

Ask the company that you got them from if they are lacquer lined, and if

they don't know - then maybe try one out and set it aside for a time and

see if you notice anything funny happening ...

 

Also, I've personally never had a problem with silver perfume bottles at

all!

Ok, here is my question/potential problem...

 

I purchased some of the most adorable perfume atomizers, roller-ball

applicators and perfume pens I have ever seen.

 

It turns out that the roller-ball applicators and the perfume pens are

the type that do not have little glass vials attached. They are

cylinders of some type of metal (I am quite certain they are aluminum)

that have o-ring seals and the roller-ball applicators also have a

" rubber " type seal/plug in the top of the 'top' part of it, to " seal "

the roller-ball from leaking. Very well-made little things!

 

One of the perfume pens is actually a roller-ball applicator just like

above and the other is the type that has the absorbent insert inside

the barrel of the pen. The barrel is made out of the same type of

metal (aluminum).

 

I have alcohol-based perfumes and oil-based perfumes. I haven't tried

my perfumes out in these particular containers yet. Almost all of

them are 5ml or smaller, so the amount of perfume that I put into them

could be just 3ml or so.

 

Do you think that these containers are ok for perfumes or AT blends?

 

I put solid perfumes in sterling silver boxes with no problems and

have even thought about selling my perfumes in these little sterling

silver perfume bottle necklaces. Is sterling silver okay?

 

Here is a pic of my most favorite one... I just cannot give up on this

little cutie for selling my perfumes in! It is so tiny and adorable

and fun (it is 2 3/4 " tall)

Thanks for any help!

Aaaahh Chris!!

 

Thank you very much... I was hoping that since they are being sold

solely for that purpose, that they should be OK.

 

This truly is the best list out there! I look forward to reading the

posts here daily --can't tell you all how much I appreciate everyone here!
