Aptar Beauty, a leading global manufacturer of spray and dispensing systems, has introduced "Nomad Refill", a new type of refill bottle for perfumes that can be added to perfume bottles in next to no time. The new patented technology enables clean, safe and uncomplicated refilling without additional accessories. It fits in every handbag and is therefore particularly suitable as a travel spray. This means that consumers can carry their favourite fragrance with them and refill it at any time. According to the company, Nomad Refill is compatible with all bottles with a standard screw cap with a 15 millimetre neck. It is supplied as a complete service including pre-filled solutions and can be customised to brand designs.

A spray for your handbag

The refilling process takes place in just a few steps: The pump of the perfume bottle is removed and Nomad Refill is put on. A quick turn and a gentle pull starts the refilling process. The user can control the refill quantity. Filling stops automatically as soon as the 10-millilitre bottle is full. This prevents overfilling and spillages. With this innovation, Aptar Beauty is responding to the increasing demand for mini fragrances and refill solutions. The market is currently experiencing double-digit growth. The system also stands for sustainability.

"The market is ready"

Travel sprays are often not refillable or require funnels and other tools, leading to spillages and waste. Nomad Refill solves these problems. "The market is ready for this innovation," says Sophie Magdelaine, Global Platform Senior Manager Fragrance, Aptar Beauty. Smaller formats have become an "object of desire". "We have high expectations for the product," says Magdelaine. Consumer studies show a high level of buying interest, particularly in the luxury and niche segment. In an IPSOS study in France and China, respondents rated Nomad Refill as one of the best innovations. According to the study, 97 per cent of Chinese and 81 per cent of French perfume users would buy the product. In collaboration with the Aptar Beauty Custom Team, brands can also create personalised luxury cases.
