Our Recommendation & thoughts
If you’re looking for the best travel perfume atomizer for everyday use either the easy fills or the decent style work very similar. While people generally think the easy fill is better for filling there is actually not much in it because if its not the easy fill, you can just spray directly into the atomizers inner vial and it fills up just as fast. For variety, keep a few different styles so you can switch fragrances depending on your mood or destination.
We will mention and its often overlooked that the most important thing to look at is the quality of the perfume spray and mist. This usually comes with a slightly higher price due to better quality manufacturing but is worth it.
Always clean your atomizer before switching scents to avoid mixing fragrances. Use rubbing alcohol and let it air dry completely. Water on its own will not clean the old scent out. Alcohol soaked over night and sprayed through the pump is the only way but personally i would just have a seperate atomizer for different perfumes.
