TSA-Approved Packing Hacks: How to Carry Your Favorite Luxury Scents on a Flight

Yes, you can bring your favorite scent with you when you travel, even if you’re not checking a bag! All you have to do is remain TSA-compliant by choosing the right size, protecting the bottle, and keeping the formula fresh. Here’s exactly how to pack perfume for travel in both carry-on and checked luggage.

Can You Bring Perfume in Your Carry-On Luggage?

Perfume is allowed in your luggage on flights. When it comes to carry-on bags, individual perfumes must be 100 ml or less and fit in a 1-quart size clear zip-top bag with all of your other liquids. Even if you adhere to all of the TSA regulations for liquids, it is ultimately up to the TSA officer at the checkpoint. Keep your bag tidy and easy to reach so security moves fast.

Can You Pack Full-Size Perfume Bottles in Checked Luggage?

You can pack perfume up to 500 ml per bottle, with a maximum of 2 liters per person in checked luggage. However, Pureamor’s full-size perfumes are 30 ml, so they’re small enough to comply with the FAA’s carry-on liquid limit. That said, they take up a lot of space in your quart-sized bag, so you may prefer to travel with one of our smaller sizes.

Can You Buy Pureamor Perfumes in Miniatures?

All Pureamor fragrances are available in miniature sizes that are perfect for travel. When we say travel, we’re not only referring to the fact that all 4 of our sizes are carry-on size compliant. Our miniatures are lightweight, so you can slip them in or clip them on your purse or bag once you arrive at your destination.

Pureamor’s 3 Travel-Friendly Fragrance Sizes

Pureamor offers 3 miniature sizes, perfect for travel and on-the-go. This includes a 12 ml travel spray, 6 ml roll-on, and 2 ml dab-on. You can purchase all 3 sizes individually, as part of a set, or purchase our 2 ml keychain clip-ons or 6 ml keychain clip-ons as part of a perfume Discovery Set.

• 2 ml dab-on: Contains about 20 applications per bottle, has cute charms, and clips to your keychain or bag.

• 6 ml roll-on: Contains about 60 applications per bottle, has cute charms, and clips to your keychain or bag.

• 12 ml spray-on: Contains about 120 applications per bottle and has a slim design that slides easily into your purse or bag.

Why Pack Miniature Perfumes in Your Carry-On When You Travel?

At 30 ml, Pureamor’s full-size bottles are small enough to carry on, but you might want to pack miniatures instead. Your quart-sized bag fills up fast with your travel-sized hand sanitizer, lip balm, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, deodorant, toothpaste, face wash, skincare products, and makeup. A miniature perfume or two takes up less room than a full-size bottle.

Why Carry Your Perfume on Even When You’re Checking a Bag?

If you’re checking a bag or two, there are still a few reasons to pack a smaller travel perfume.

• Lost or delayed luggage: Although the risk is low, if your luggage is lost or delayed, you’ll be without your favorite scent.

• Decreased spill risk: Checked luggage gets tossed and turned, increasing the risk of spills and broken perfume bottles.

• Refresh while traveling: Carrying your perfume on allows you to refresh your scent while you’re on your way to your destination.

• Layering and options: If you want to travel with both daytime and nighttime fragrance or you like to layer your scents, smaller sizes are more convenient.

• Temperature control: Protect perfume from heat while traveling by carrying it on, as checked bags lack heat and temperature control.

How Do You Pack Luxury Perfume in a Carry-On Bag?

Carrying on is the safest bet for a bottle you’d hate to lose. It stays with you the whole trip and is way less likely to leak or lose its scent due to heat or humidity exposure.

Here’s how to pack perfume for travel in your carry-on:

1. Check the size: Confirm that your perfume is no larger than 3.4 oz or 100 ml.
2. Pre-pack for fit: Pre-pack all liquids you’re carrying on in a clear quart-sized bag to ensure they all fit.
3. Minimize spills: Pack with the cap on and use a leak-proof bag in case something spills.
4. Ensure easy access: Pack your clear quart bag so that it’s easy to pull out of your suitcase or under-the-seat bag at security.
5. Cushion: Keep liquids close, but pack them between soft items to minimize broken bottles and leaks.
6. Temperature: Pureamor’s bottles keep the sunlight out, but carrying on minimizes heat and humidity exposure.

How to Pack Luxury Perfume in Checked Luggage?

Checked bags give you more space, but they also get more bumps. A little padding goes a long way.

Here’s how to pack perfume in a suitcase you’re checking in:

1. Check the size: Confirm that your perfume is no larger than 17 oz (500 ml) per bottle, and that your total liquids don’t exceed 68 oz (2 L).
2. Cap and seal: Wondering how to keep perfume from leaking in your checked luggage? Keep the cap on and seal in a leak-proof bag.
3. Cushion: Pack your perfume between layers of clothing on all 4 sides or inside a hard case. Pack in the middle, or at least a few inches from edges and corners.
4. Optional hard suitcase: Soft bags allow you to pack more, but liquids are more likely to leak or break. Hard suitcases provide more protection.
