TipDecanting fragrance for a flight: what works
TL;DR: small refillable atomizer, in a zip bag, in the carry-on.
Flying to my sister's for the holidays, so the packing list has started early. What I've tested so far:
- full bottle in checked luggage: wrapped in a sock, survived, but I worried the whole flight
- small atomizer: basically leak-free as long as I don't fill it to the top
- solid perfume tin: melted in a hot rental car, never again
Anything I'm missing? That's my two cents.

Moved this over from Learning to Smell, it fits better here. My three rules:
1) decant only what you'll wear
2) don't fill it to the brim
3) keep it out of a hot car at the other end

I fly to Osaka most years. Atomizer in the toiletries bag, and the full bottle stays home where it's dark and cool.

My little atomiser leaked once on the plane to Porto and my whole bag smelled of lemon for a week. Now it goes in a sock too.

TL;DR: sock it is. The cheapest fix on the list. That's my two cents.
