broken nozzle on aftershave bottle

Frank Bullitt

Hope this is in the right place,

I got a bottle of Abercrombie & Fitch "Fierce" over ebay this week, it was working fine but there was a bit of leaking when i got the bottle, but it was nothing serious.

Today when I was using it, the nozzle just dropped to the bottom position, and it doesn't spring back to the top position, it can be pulled up, but you can see the chamber and the hose inside can be seen moving around etc, like it isn't anchored to the top part, if you get me.

The bottle is 95% full so I'm wondering if this can be fixed, or if I can transfer the remaining liquid to a new bottle.

Thanks.

Well not having seen the nozzle myself I can't tell you how to fix it, but if you're happy to transfer it to another bottle, you can buy empty bottles in Pennys that should do the trick. I'm pretty sure their packs of holiday bottles (you know, the small empty bottles you use to bring toiletries away with you) contain the spray type bottles, other than that I'm sure you could find empty bottles in house stores. If you want to reuse an old bottle, make sure you steep it or something first because you don't want to mix new and old.

Thanks for the reply, its hard to describe the atomizer and what is wrong, but its essentially like the ball chamber and the hose aren't connected to anything to give it spring so it pumps the liquid out to you.

The atomizers on the Fierce bottles always seemed a bit cheapish so I'm hoping I can either fix it or open it, I only briefly tried before I left for work this morning and it was sealed up pretty tight, I can assume that it's not just as easy as a twisty top anyway.

If you decide to buy a new bottle, make sure it's a glass bottle as perfume and aftershave can't be kept in plastic bottles.
