On that bottle you use a "ear bulb" like the one in the below photo, or a babies nose bulb,,, very cheap at Walmart. You protect the neck label from getting wet with a piece of wax paper, or foil that is secured to the upper lip of the bottle with electrical tape. ***The tape cannot touch the label**** then use the bulb to put CLR or lime Away into the bottle ,,,swish it around, let sit,,, do again,,,, when you are happy, flush out CLR with water,,, then inset rubbing alcohol into the bottle with the bulb,,, swish,,, empty & let dry overnite.

Aloha!

Mr. Chick, that is a gorgeous find! Congrats! I'd love to have one of those for all my Pinaud fragrances.

A while ago, I ordered THESE GLASS PUMP Bottles for storing my "Plastic Bottle" fragrances:



Available from Amazon for under $20 for six of them in brown or blue, 8 oz each.

They are fine except for the fact that the down-tubes are too long so you have to cut them to fit in the bottle, but that takes about 10 seconds with a sharp pair of scissors. Of course, I keep the Clubman Pinaud Classic front and center (yellow round bottle) at all times in a clear pump bottle on the riser shelf;

I've got the hazmat team on speed dial.!!

Stop, Drop & Roll !!

Oh, forgot to mention, use the same alcohol bulb to insert the new Vegetal.

Thank you so much! I'll do this.

Ok then, I just awoke in a pool of my own slobber and I don't recall what happened, there is a pineapple on the night stand, I don't know if Sventlana ever got her green card with her fake diamond engagement ring, the cap to the Veg lying on the floor beside me, but I must say that I did not get the feline odor of a cat hoarder in denial. More like a bubble bath from days past.

I don't think I could rock this scent on the construction site full of manly men, but just maybe at the Sunday service with the elderly women.....

So tomorrow is Clubman Friday.

Lime, Veg or Original....? Hmmm....

I do enjoy cats, so...

Glad you survived the application.

Do try that barber trick I posted about previously. Get yourself a small bottle of 70 percent Wintergreen alcohol (or 50 percent if shopping Walmart - their rubbing alcohol is cheaper because it's less percent by volume), put a tablespoon in an empty container about the same ounce size as your Veg bottle, put in half a bottle of your Veg, and add distilled water to bring the container full. Makes a big difference on the nose of the fragrance and how it hits the noses of those around you. If you think it's still a bit too strong, add another teaspoon of Wintergreen Alcohol to the mix. I STILL don't think you'd rock the scent in a group of manly men all day long, but it makes the scent nice for being around the ladies.

PS, the remainder of the Wintergreen alcohol cut down with distilled water to about 30 percent alcohol by volume in itself makes a dandy after shave astringent, so the rest of the bottle of alcohol won't be wasted.

If you don't want to waste half a bottle of Veg and want to test this barber trick in a small quantity first, get a small cup, put in an oz or two of Veg, about 1/4 or 1/3 teaspoon of wintergreen alcohol and a bit of water. Mix it up, apply and compare it to full strength Veg. See what you think.

The Veg it was.
