How to pack toilettes for travel like a pro

Categories: Perfume Information
If you believe in the mantra “Pack right, Pack light”, then your toiletry kit is the smart place to start. Toiletries always take up a large amount of suitcase inventory. As hard as we try (especially for women), it’s a challenge to go lean and mean when it comes to packing toiletries and (uh-hum) everything else!
However, with a little thought and planning, you can save yourself a lot of aggravation, excess luggage weight, and money if you pack smart.
So here are a few simple hacks on how to pack toiletries for travel like a pro.
TRAVEL HACKS FOR PACKING TOILETRIES
The Trick Is in The Travel-Kit
A well-designed toiletry kit makes packing toiletries much easier and is a crucial purchase pre-travel. A toiletry kit needs to tick a lot of boxes and here are some of the most important ones, it should have the:
- Multiple sections
- Different-sized pockets
- Breathable mesh so it can breathe and dry faster
- Waterproof exterior
- Plastic sections/pockets to hold liquids (shampoo, liquid soap, etc that can contain spills if they happen). For added protection, put liquid travel items in a plastic zip-lock bag to prevent leakage problems.
- Airplane regulation travel-size plastic bottles for shampoo, etc
- Lightweight travel kit to avoid excess luggage weight
- Ability to hang on the back of the door for easy access
- Separate compartments that can be removed
Organize, Organise, Organise
The idea is to figure out how to compartmentalize and organize all your supplies based on need and function. No need to put your shampoo in the same compartment as your make-up, right?
Carry-on or Check-In
Most importantly, always think through which toiletries you will put inside your check-in luggage and which ones will be in your carry-on. For carry-on, security restrictions will apply for the size of liquid items. So sharp objects such as scissors or nail files, larger bottles, etc need to be checked in.
Tips for Packing Perfume for Vacation Like a Pro
Don’t Overdo It
If you bring multiple perfumes on your vacation, sample-size perfumes come in handy – you can pack as many of them as you want and not have to worry about excess weight.
Use Solid Perfume
A great alternative is getting perfume in a solid form that you rub on your skin. Apart from being easier to transport, there’s also no risk of a perfume bottle breaking and leaking perfume on everything in your suitcase.
Pick Your Perfume Scent Wisely
Whether you are going to the beach, mountains, desert, exotic locations, big city, etc., in whatever type of climate – you want to pick the perfect scent to compliment your outfits and holiday vibe. Be it city chic, bohemian seductress on a tropical beach, or modern Mediterranean – there’s a perfect scent out there for your dream holiday!
With your destination in mind, this can help you decide what type of perfume to bring (Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, or Eau de Cologne) and what scent family (floral, fruity, oriental, woody, spicy, etc) would be best to enjoy on your holiday.
Depending on your destination and the time of year you will be traveling, here are some of the most popular perfumes for women and men.

Packing
Keep your heavy toiletry kit at the bottom of your suitcase near the wheels to make maneuvering your bag easier if it’s not top-heavy.
If you have delicate items such as glass perfume bottles, or glass face cream jars, place your toiletries kit in the center of your suitcase, sandwiched between clothing to protect and cushion its impact.
