Why choose a perfume in travel size

Perfect for the plane and for hand luggage

Travel formats sit well within the 100 ml per container limit set for liquids in the cabin: you can carry them in your hand luggage without a second thought, inside the usual clear bag. For perfect hand luggage we recommend Chill’in à la tropezienne or Naked laundry.

Practical, light and always with you

A travel perfume weighs a few grams and fits into any wash bag, backpack or handbag: ideal for weekends, work trips, the gym and for topping up your sillage during the day.

The smartest way to try niche perfumery

Small formats let you discover a niche fragrance without spending much, before investing in the full size. If you want to try more than one, take a look at our discovery kits as well.

How to choose the right travel perfume

For a summer city break choose a citrus or a fresh musk; for a winter trip take an ambery or an enveloping gourmand with you. If you travel often, our advice is to keep two travel sizes: a fresh one for the day and an intense one for the evening. Check that the format comes with a spray: when travelling it is far more practical than a splash.

Why buy travel perfumes from Maison de Parfum

Since 2006 we have been selecting the finest niche perfumery brands in the world in our Bologna boutique. The travel formats on this page have the same quality and concentration as the full sizes: only the size changes, not the emotion.

Frequently asked questions about travel perfumes

Can I take perfume in my hand luggage on a plane?

Yes: liquids in the cabin must be in containers of up to 100 ml, placed in a resealable clear bag of no more than 1 litre. All 10-30 ml travel formats are comfortably within this limit.

What size is a travel perfume?

Usually between 10 and 30 ml, compared with the 50-100 ml of classic formats. A 10 ml travel spray holds around 100-120 sprays: enough for several weeks of daily use.

Are travel size perfumes less concentrated?

No: the fragrance is identical to the full size, with the same concentration (Eau de Parfum or Extrait). Only the bottle format changes, designed for convenience and transport.

How do I protect my perfume in my suitcase?

Keep it away from sources of heat and direct light, wrap it in a piece of clothing or use a hard case. In the hold, temperatures can vary a great deal: whenever possible, carry your perfume in the cabin.
