I have had mine filled for free. I find it is also a great way to try a new scent without the initial investment. If you decide you don't like the fragrance dump it out and start over!

It's totally easy to do this on your own - just UNSCREW the atomizer at the middle, then use the funnel to spray in your own scent. Takes less than a minute - you don't need help from anyone!

No stores fill it for free. You can get free samples of perfumes that you want to try, but they come in a much smaller ounce.

You add your own perfume to the empty tube. No perfume comes with it.

no - you can get free samples in the tiny plastic sample spray bottles that the associates will give you - these can leak a bit though, so don't recommend if you're flying - great to throw in your purse though

No, you fill it with your own fragrance.

no they dont only when u purchase they will fill it up

I filled the atomizer myself; it was easy. Just insert the funnel and spray directly into it. It is time consuming, but it'll be done before you know it. Also, stop spraying 1-2 cm from the top. If you fill it to the top some will spill out when you screw in the top. It happened to me!

If you have a relationship with the salesperson, they will usually be more than happy to fill it up for you. Especially if you buy something at the time!

Apparently it does vary by store, because my local one has done so for me a couple of times recently.

It is glass

The part that holds the perfume is glass. :)

There is a glass bottle that slides into the metal surrounding. I recommend this if you are looking for something smaller and convenient for on-the-go!

It is glass inside. The metal part actually slips over the glass tube.

Glass inside and then it fits inside the metal outside.

It's glass.

Glass

yes it's a glass container that holds the liquid and screws onto the metal spray pump.

The inside is glass. The aluminum case slips on over the outsde of the glass for protection. I've been using this for a few weeks now in my purse and it doesn't leak. Very nicely made.

It's glass, it's just in a metal holder, which you can pop off.

Sounds dumb, but if you can't screw the lid off your fancy perfume (why they make this impossible is beyond me), you literally just spray it from your perfume bottle it into this little bottle. It's a tad time-consuming, but this atomizer is very small so it only took a couple of minutes to fill it up (probably 30 sprays?).

A small funnel is included with the atomizer. You spray your perfume into it and it drains down into the base to hold the perfume. After you fill it just screw the spray top back on and put it back into the metal case and you're ready to use it.

You may not be able to..it will depend on if the top is removable or not..however, I will take a larger perfume bottle and spray it into the funnel and it works just fine to get the small amount needed.

To transfer your perfume to the atomizer, it comes with a funnel (that is user friendly).

The product comes with a funnel that you put on top of the bottle and spray your perfume in it.

Comes with a funnel to avoid spills

theres a funnel, just open your perfume or spray it to the funnel into the atomizer

Spray your perfume into the funnel to fill the atomizer. Very easy to use.

When you pull it apart, the sprayer screws into a small glass canister. Over a sink, I hold the funnel in the mouth of the glass canister and spray into the funnel. Its a little tricky the first time to spray into the funnel without wasting perfume and holding both bottles upright!

you spray the perfume into the funnel or directly into the inside container....it's pretty easy and not messy

I just put the funnel in the atomizer opening and easily spray from my perfume bottle! It's quick, easy and with little or no mess!

the key (that I didn't pick up on right away) is that you need to open the atomizer at the MIDDLE for easy refill. Don't just pop off the very top - unscrew it (like a pen) from the middle and then use the funnel to spray in your fragrance. Honestly, you don't even really need the funnel - you could spray directly into the container and it would work fine.

I wasn't sure how to get my perfume into it, and ended up just holding my spray bottle right up to this one and spraying it in. Took a minute and was a little messy but it was worth it because I know I will now use the perfume more often. However, I would think twice if it was a very expensive fragrance!

Spritz your perfume into the funnel. No need to take the top off. It's very easy to do.

use the mini funnel provided and simply spray into it - go slowly though to avoid wastage

You open the top of the atomizer and place the "funnel" over opening. Spritz your bigger perfume into the funnel and it will run down into the atomizer. Had to do that with my Hanae Mori.

Just grab your funnel, place it on the atomizer and spray your perfume into the funnel. Twenty or so sprays should fill up the container.

The atomizer comes with a funnel, so you just place it over the opening and hold it, pump the fragrance into the funnel and it drops into the glass

I just spray mine into it which works fine.

Just spray right into the neck of the glass inside the container.

This is a must have for traveling. I have stupidly had several bottles of fragrance confiscated going through airport security. After purchasing this cute atomizer, I will never have to leave home without my favorite scent!

If you buy eau de parfum, this makes it easier to apply because you can spray instead of dab, and it's the right size for airport security. If you already have the fragrance in a mini spray, you don't need this :)

Some perfume brands don't come in "purse sizes." If you're like me and dedicated to a particular scent, this atomizer makes it very handy to take some along without lugging a heavy, odd-shaped glass bottle around in the purse (or to travel).

The atomizer allows you to just buy a big bottle of your favorite scent and then refill the atomizer from it versus spending twice as much on a mini-roller ball or purse size spray which is already filled. The atomizer fulfills the size requirements for 3oz or less liquids in carry on bags. If you already purchase a mini-spray of your favorite scents you really wouldn't need to buy an atomizer. They do save money though so you might want to try it in the future. :)

You would use this if you had a bottle of perfume and you wanted to take some with you on the go to renew your scent throughout the day. Just pour a little into the atomizer and voila. If you already have a purse size spray of your perfume you would not need this. And, generally airlines have a maximum level of liquids allowed (like say an ounce, for example) so you could put the amount allowed in this and shoud be able to travel with it.

My intension for this product was to pour the last of my favorite perfume into it for traveling purposes. It is a great size, holding exactly 3 ounces of fluid. If it worked, it would be a great product. However it does NOT work. It leaks wasting all of your perfume and ruining whatever you have it near!

I usually just carry my perfume with me when I travel, and if the perfume is too big for my carry-on, I choose a different perfume. The atomizer is good because it allows you to carry your favorite scent with you without the huge bottle. I got one when my new favorite perfume came in a bottle bigger than (for example) an iPhone. (I don't have an iPhone, but you can picture the size of the bottle now.) That bottle is too big to go in my purse, but I LOVE the scent; so I got the atomizer, put some inside, and viola! I'm good to go. :)

The atomizer is very useful, especially if you are a very frequent traveler.

yes it would be okay to travel with it. The atomizer hold about .15 oz of liquid.

I don't live in SD - but was able to buy mine in-store. Ask a salesperson to help you find one - they are in the tools area.

Any store should also carry this item.

I recently purchased it in store (las vegas) - I'd been looking for it for a long time as they only ever seemed to have it in pink (and I wanted it for my husband when he travels) The associate said they have just re-launched it - so hopefully you'll have success at your local store - good luck!

Yup, should be near the till in that middle kiosk with all the brushes, tweezers and etc

yes

I purchased it in-store in Anaheim and I've seen it at several other SoCal locations.

Yes. Sephora has several styles. The salesperson recommended this one to me.

I doubt you will ever totally get the scent out of the tube. Easier to just buy another one.

well the part that holds the fragrance is glass - I would rinse it and then pop it in the dishwasher (top shelf, slide it onto one of the 'prongs'. But I'd remove before the dry cycle and allow to air dry just in case it's too fragile for the heat.
If you don't have a dishwasher - or don't want to try that, then vinegar should work - then rinse well with water afterwards
hope this helps :o)

Rubbing alcohol. Put some in a bowl if you need to get actual oil out of the glass part. Maybe with a drop or two of dish washing liquid to cut through the oil. Use a paper towel and twist it until it fits into the bottle so you can wipe the inside too. If it's just regular perfume that was in there, just cleaning it with rubbing alcohol will be fine.

I like to use rubbing alcohol to sqish it out, then run through the sprayer and qtips to get the nooks n' crannys of the glass.

I would soak the whole thing, taken apart, in warm soapy water.

As far as I have heard, once you've used an atomizer for a particular fragrance, that's it for that atomizer. You need to buy another one for each fragrance.

I've used it for travel and so far it hasn't leaked at all.

The seal on mine is superb. I am so thankful too, because I had it in a make up bag with expensive makeup. Not even tiny droplets have escaped, because my make up has remained 100% dry and perfect. If you ever happen to get one that leaks exchange it immediately, because its not typical of this product. Several people in my family have them and we've all had good experiences.

i have actually tried all of the other sephora atomizers. this one is by far the best. it is very well-made and does not leak.

it seals tight

This does not leak at all. I have traveled internationally with mine at least 10 times and it carries just enough for a trip and never leaks.

YES it does leak - as much as I like my purse smelling like Tom Ford, I don't like the waste and it getting on my fingers every time I go to spritz! I exchanged this version for the slender pink version - it has a screw in cap and seems to be much better at keeping the perfume IN the bottle...

rinse out with water and rubbing alcohol spray the rubbing alcohol through a couple of times to get the old smell out

At this affordable price...I have one for each of my favorite fragrances and label it with permenant marker indicating which scent!

The sprayer lid screws on and off, like any normal spray bottle.

first u dump the fregrence then fill it with water and spray it a couple of times to make sre there is no more fragrence because water cant hurt the smell

I would imagine you could take apart the spray top and base, soak each in a solution of hot water with vinegar, rinse well and then maybe soak each again with a mild cleaner. Also spray hot water with the vinegar and cleanser through the spray top to 'clear' it. If this doesn't neutralize the scent enough to your liking I would just purchase another atomizer as they are pretty inexpensive. Hope this helps!

If you clean it with soap and water it should do the trick..I have not had any problems with it retaining a scent. just make sure you spray through some soapy water and clean water to get the "srayer" cleaned out.

The bottle that holds the perfume is glass. The spray lid is a combination of metal/plastic. The casing and funnel are metal (I'm guessing it's aluminum, but I can't be certain),

The vial that your fragrance goes in is glass.

The outside is metal, almost feels like stainless steel. And there is a glass vile where the fragrance is stored that slides into the metal covering.

glass bottle that holds the liquid, which screws to the metal spray pump. Then the whole thing slides into the outer casing

The case looks to be of stainless steel. The funnel is made of plastic. The part that actually holds the fragrance is also plastic. It slips out of the steel casing when you're ready to refill it.
