The Airport Baggie Game

We were at the airport on the weekend and all those plastic baggies at the security point started me thinking. If you were going on a trip for a couple of weeks, what would you put in your baggie? It struck me as a good conundrum because you're limited by space as well as having to decide which perfumes you would want to take.

Here's are 2 links (US and UK) to the actual rules of what you can take, with details on the dimensions of the baggie:

So here's the game:
you are going on a trip for 2 or 3 weeks, it doesn't matter what the trip is for - you can decide.
For the sake of this game, you can only take perfumes in your baggie, you can't put any in your checked-in baggage.
You can take decants, samples, full bottles of 100mls or less, solid perfumes, whatever you like.
You aren't limited to your 'real life' wardrobe if you don't want to be.
You have to leave room in the baggie for any other liquid-containing items you will need on the journey (e.g. lip balm, eye cream, deodorant, hand cleanser, wet wipes etc.) but your regular toiletries can go in your hold baggage.
You only need to think about yourself - no need to worry about packing things for your kids or hubby.




My baggie contains:
my face basics, which I won't bore you with.
two travel sized 15ml atomisers that I have lying around:
Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan
Hermes Hermessence Ambre Narguile
and two Frederick Malle 10ml travel atomisers:
Iris Poudre
L'Eau d'Hiver

And what better time to pull out those solid perfumes?
Crazy Libellule and the Poppies Presque Nue (white musk)
Yves Rocher Neonatura Souffle (beachy)
Lush Flying Fox temple balm (massive jasmine)

So those cover a lot of bases. Now to fill the gaps with decants of:
Givenchy Organza Indecence (da vanilla bomb)
Idole de Lubin (for a spice fest)
Ava Luxe No 23 (my current fave and just a little vial because I have the extrait)
Creed Virgin Island Water (because it is instant relaxation and I love it)
L'Artisan Dzing! (sometimes you want to smell like the tack room in a stable)
Hermes Un Jardin en Mediterranee (figs and sunbaked stones)
Guerlain Jicky edt (The Holy Grail)
Ava Luxe Madeline (my comfort scent)
Comme des Garcons Avignon (for incense)
Molinard Habanita (because Tao turned me on to it and it's the mutt's nuts and sometimes you need to smell like a 1920s Cuban bordello)

That makes 17 fragrances. And a baggie that's on the verge of popping, even after I've taken out a bunch of face stuff! But I might just be able to slip Possets The Gingerbread Whorehouse in there for a gourmand.

I know - I'm greedy greedy greedy.

What would - or DO, for our frequent flyers - YOU put in your baggie?

See, this tells me I have
a) too much time on my hands to be thinking about this
b) a HUGE perfume obsession to have decants instead of toothpaste in my baggie (also a lack of consideration for my fellow passengers who are on the receiving end of post-flight dogbreath )
and
c) a real inability to choose and edit!

In real life?
Heck, I'd probably sling a bottle of my calming travel fragrance, Clarins Eau Resourcante in the baggy with the face stuff (little Deo spray, GWP one-step wipe-off cleanser that takes care of everything, moisturiser, eye cream, lipstick, eyshadow stick, mascara, tiny bottle of hand disinfectant, tiny toothpaste and folding toothbrush) and maybe the Ambre Sultan, Jicky, No 23 and Virgin Island Water because I like to sniff the bottles and that won't offend anyone in mid-air. And I'd have a couple of current favourite mainstream bottles in my checked in baggage. They have to be easily replaceable and well-sealed.
