I have just opened a bottle of vintage parfum extrait, only to find that the small rubber plug that is normally affixed to the underside of the screwcap has torn and fallen into the bottle when opening it for the first time.
I'd like to ask what you might suggest for me to use to remove it (preferably without having to decant the contents into another receptacle).
I have pipettes, but the the neck of the bottle is too narrow to allow them to pass. The flacon is also too deep to try and spike it with a long pin or needle, in an attempt to draw the rubber plug up. (Unless perhaps I can get my hands on a rather long syringe).
I worry that if the plug is not removed quickly, it will begin to deteriorate and taint the precious juice.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks.
