View Full Version : Issey Miake mix NPA
Hey guys,
Heard
of a few of you mixing this combo up.
Just wondering, how do you get the issey out of the bottle? I just got
a bottle of it and I tried to take the spray head off to get some of the cologne liquid out , but it seems
impossible.
Can someone help me out here? How do u open up the bottle?
THanks in advance.

It's best not to remove the
spray head. Not only is it difficult but you are likely to break it. CK colognes are among the few that come with
screw-off tops.
The standard method of filling an atomizer is to use a perfume funnel:
1. Place funnel
in atomizer bottle.
2. Hold cologne head as near as possible.
3. Spray directly into the funnel and fill to
the desired mark.
4. Add NPA
5. Screw atomizer bottle onto spray head and commence merry making.
I use
a Sharpie pen to mark graduations on the bottle. This technique aids greatly in filling to correct proportion (4:1,
5:1 or whatever your desired diluation).
Perfume funnels are normally sold with atomizers in Honolulu malls
(Sephora shops). I don't know about other places. However, any small funnel will work, e.g., travel flask or chem
lab funnels.
How do u open up the
bottle?
I haven't done this myself, but what I saw here is that you don't. People spray into a funnel
that leads to an atomizer that they buy. Then they drop in the NPA or whatever else.
This way is actually
better because you aren't affecting your source perfume/cologne, so you can play around with the amounts of things.
Obviously, once you've put stuff in, you can't take it out again.
cool, thanks
guys.
Sheesh..now i've gotta get me a funnel. Damn , my mini atomiser's pretty small. Hope the funnel
fits.
What kinda shops can i find slightly bigger , say 10 ml, atomizers from? I haven't seen any in perfume
shops......

The Sephora comes with a
funnel.

LS has the
larger atomizer but it lacks a funnel. I actually prefer the smaller Sephora model. The big LS atomizer, when in
pocket, makes you appear a little too happy to see your date!
gegogi..wow! thanks for this
site..checking the atomizers out now..
regards,
