What do you think of this method of decanting?

Is this is a good method (described in this listing) or is it better to just Spray?

These Travalo- type atomizers work fine, but there is no way to fill them from a splash bottle, so I tend to prefer the other sort that you can spray or pour/pipette into. Also, you have to remove the little sprayer-knob from your full bottle to use them, and then the little knob may not sit right afterward.

One of our members found that her precious discontinued perfume evaporated from one of these when she was flying. Maybe their seal isn't so good in lower-atmosphere environments?

Thanks a lot for advice. I've found these, so may purchase and do the old fashioned way!

Those look good, and a little bit of Teflon (plumber's) tape around the threads can improve the seal.

The ones you posted on the second link are what I usually use. A US seller sells them at $13/per 10 pack. (black top).
I do like the idea of an easy-fill atomizer though, I think I'm going to pick 2 up for my more frequently worn fragrances.
