- Carefully remove the cap or sprayer from your fragrance bottle.
- If using a funnel, place it securely into the opening of your travel-sized container.
- Tilt your fragrance bottle slightly and pour or spray the desired amount of fragrance into the funnel.
- Be sure to leave a little bit of space at the top of the container to avoid spillage.
- Once filled, securely cap your travel-sized container and you are good to go.

Step 4: Label Your Decants
To avoid any confusion down the line, it's important to label your decants with the name of the fragrance inside. You can use stickers, tape, or a marker to clearly identify each container.

Step 5: Seal the Deal
Once all your decants are filled and labeled, it's time to seal the deal! Make sure the caps are securely tightened to prevent any leaks or spills during travel.

And there you have it – your crash course in decanting is complete! With these simple steps, you can transform your favorite fragrances into travel-sized treasures that are perfect for any adventure.
