Rinse it? Poke the hole with a needle?

MooMinCow · 14/02/2013 20:00

Is it the original Prada in the rectangular bottle? I had the same issue and ended up binning it Hmm before you do that though you could decant some into a Travalo or similar. Must be a design fault with those bottles.

Decant into an atomiser?

Glossynotflossy · 14/02/2013 20:56

What is an atomiser?

ggirl · 14/02/2013 20:59

OMG I have a bottle of Prada from about 5 yrs ago (so prob off) and the atomiser stopped working after a short while.
I got in Dubai airport.

Howthe heck do you get the spray bit off to decant it?

ggirl · 14/02/2013 21:02

mine is like this here

MooMinCow · 14/02/2013 21:07

With the Travalo you just stick the pointy stem (that appears when you pull off the round spray bit) into the bottom and pump furiously (snigger)

blondambition · 14/02/2013 21:07

Same here! It was my wedding perfume 8 years ago and can't bear to part with it, but also hasn't worked for years.

Glossynotflossy · 14/02/2013 21:08

Yes that's the one i have too

Yup my bottle was about 5 years old. I think I had a whine about it once at their counter in Selfridges and the nice man gave me a travel sized rollerball sample which is still going strong Smile

travelo failed mine as the pump mechnism wasnt working. I asked my FIL to take the whole top bit of the glass bottle (of Chanel allure) off with one of his power tools! It worked and I decanted the perfume into a proper perfume bottle I bought on amazon. In a month, the perfume went bad :(

hoppityhoppity · 15/02/2013 02:44

Exactly the same happened to me, I haven't tried decanting but also can't bear to throw it away even though it's been 2.5 years...

Glossynotflossy · 15/02/2013 06:48

Mine won't pump
