Are Perfume Oils Good for Travel?

Are perfume oils travel-friendly? Learn why small roll-on bottles are convenient for purses and carry-ons and how TSA liquid limits work.

Perfume oils can be very convenient for travel because a small roll-on bottle takes up hardly any space.

Lily Essences bottles are 5 mL, making them easy to fit into a purse, cosmetic bag or travel bag.

For U.S. airport security, TSA's carry-on liquids rule generally permits liquids in containers of 3.4 ounces/100 mL or less, subject to the applicable 3-1-1 liquids requirements. A 5 mL bottle is well below that container-size limit.

Keep the cap closed and, when practical, carry the bottle upright.

The difficult part of traveling with a small perfume collection isn't fitting it in your bag.

It's choosing which one to bring.
