Ingenious uses for old perfume?

[NumptyNu]

I have several half-full bottles of perfume collecting dust on a shelf in my bathroom..... I know I'll never use them, but am reluctant to throw them away without attempting to find an alternative use for them. Any good ideas out there?

I've not done this at home, but when I worked in a fragrance hall I used to use perfume to clean off sticky marks and gross stuff - usually on plastic, glass, and gloss shelving. The alcohol in it is effective and leaves what you've cleaned lightly scented.

A friend waters down unwanted perfume and then uses it as an air freshener in the bathroom and toilet.

You could also eBay, if you're willing. I'm always surprised by how much people bid on used bottles of perfume.

Put them on eBay. I sold some old bottles my mum was going to chuck out and was astonished by how much they went for. The person who bought them told me that some women hunt out specific vintage fragrances because the formulations the manufacturers use now are different.

How bizarre! But thanks, ladies, for the tips!

I agree with the eBay suggestion.

Last year, I sold 9 bottles of perfume on eBay for approx £80 . Some were nearly full but a couple were almost empty! People also collect the different shaped bottles.

Don't use them for cleaning! Get them on eBay now!

I might even bid for them myself! Can you tell me what they are?

One's a Space NK Chantecaille one, and Clinique Happy.....

Check completed listings on eBay for an idea of how much individual bottles sell for.

Get thee to eBay! sounds fab.
