What is a convenient concise travel?

The way it works: Pull the atomizer tip off the spray bottle of your favourite scent, place the Travalo fill valve against the bottle's exit tube & push down repeatedly until the Travalo is loaded with the amount of scent you require to take on the road. Filling to capacity takes a matter of seconds.

What it is: A refillable aircraft-grade aluminum spray container for travelling together with your favourite fragrance or cologne without risking confiscation by the Transportation Security Administration. Travalo makes a few models. The Excel, which comes in nine colors, including some that won't threaten masculinity, holds about 65 sprays if filled to the max, keeping you far below the 3-ounce TSA threshold for carry-on luggage.

The nice: It is a good-looking, nicely made travel item. I expected it to leak a bit, but there was no such issue. It is so small, about the size of lipstick, that you won't be adding to your baggage burden, & you'll have your signature scent along for the ride. Because of its construction, it also takes a beating. Even when you are not on a trip, it is handy to keep in a purse or briefcase in case.

The bad: If your fragrance or cologne is not in a spray bottle, there is no way to get it in to the Travalo unless you transfer it to some kind of spray bottle that will mate with the Travalo.
