Traditionally, perfumes were stored in designer glass bottles, which was prone to spillage and cannot be transported easily. Decanting of perfumes was also not recommended by manufacturers because plastic is prone to reaction with the perfume. The growing consumer demand for portable perfumes has led to innovative packaging of perfumes. Perfumes are now available as travel sprays and rollerballs.
