Wash the empty perfume bottle thoroughly with warm soapy water to remove any lingering fragrance and oil. Afterward, rinse it with clean water and let it dry completely before reuse, taking care to also clean the spray pump if you plan to reuse it.
Fill the cleaned bottle with distilled water and add 10 to 15 drops of your preferred essential oil. You can also mix in a small amount of rubbing alcohol to help the oil blend smoothly with the water, then close and shake the bottle well before spraying.
If the spray pump is broken, you can utilize the bottle's attractive shape and glass design as a decorative candle holder by placing a small tea-light candle inside.
