Bottles
Glass and plastic, 3ml to 250ml. One at a time or by the dozen.
Perfume bottles in glass and plastic, from 3ml testers up to a 250ml mixing bottle, sold one at a time or by the dozen.
The size you choose is the business you are in. 3ml and 6ml are testers people take home and come back for. 10ml is the price point most Nigerian resellers actually sell at. 100ml is a full retail bottle. A 500ml of oil fills about fifty 10ml bottles, so buy your bottles on the same order as your oil rather than waiting a week to bottle it.
Glass is what you sell in — it holds a scent better, feels like something worth paying for, and photographs like a product. Plastic is what you work in: the 30ml, 50ml and 100ml come with a twist-open nozzle head so you can decant oil straight into a roller without a funnel, and the 250ml is a plain screw-cap bottle for mixing and storing. Most sellers end up carrying both.
From ₦350, or by the dozen once you are buying to sell. A weak bottle leaks in a bag, sprays unevenly and lets the fragrance evaporate, which turns a bottle you paid for into a bottle you refund.
Bottles — common questions
- What bottle size should I sell in?
- 10ml is the size most resellers in Nigeria price around, and 3ml or 6ml testers are what bring people back for the bigger one. 100ml is a full retail bottle. Many sellers carry a tester size and one selling size rather than the whole range.
- How many bottles will 500ml of perfume oil fill?
- About fifty 10ml bottles, before you account for what stays in the funnel. That is the calculation most of your cost per unit comes down to.
- What is the difference between the glass and the plastic bottles?
- Glass is for selling: it protects the scent better, feels substantial in the hand and photographs like a retail product. Plastic is for working — decanting, mixing and storing — and costs a fraction of the same size in glass. If you are bottling perfume for a customer, use glass. If you are moving oil around your own workspace, plastic is the cheaper tool.
- Do the plastic bottles come with a nozzle head?
- The 30ml, 50ml and 100ml do — a twist-open pointed spout that lets you decant oil straight into a roller or a smaller bottle without a funnel. The 250ml does not; it has a plain screw cap and is meant for mixing and storage, which is why it costs less than the 30ml.
- Do you sell spray nozzles?
- Yes, separately, in the DIY Supplies category, in 50ml and 100ml fittings sold by the dozen. Those are spray atomisers for glass bottles — a different part from the twist-open nozzle head that already comes fitted to the small plastic bottles.
- Are bottles sold individually?
- Yes — buy one bottle or a dozen, whichever the job needs. That covers glass from 8ml to 100ml and every plastic size. Only the 3ml and 6ml glass sizes are dozen-only; they are too small to send one at a time. A dozen always works out cheaper per bottle, which is what you want if you are buying to sell.
- Can I buy perfume oil bottles in bulk?
- Yes. Send a bulk enquiry with the size and quantity you need and we will price it for you directly.
