Step 1: Rinse the Bottles 

Start, by rinse the perfume bottle with boiled water. This will help you get rid of the perfume stuck inside there. After rinsing, make sure the bottles cool off completely and dry before you even consider using them again. This initial step is an important one as it ensure that the bottle remains clean and sanitized for its subsequent use.

Without the labels, it looks decent and prepped for whatever you may want to do with it next. 

Step 3: Donate Your Bottles 

Donating perfume bottles is a great choice, especially if you have ones that you no longer need or use. You can donate to charity stores or women shelters, even local schools for art projects. So rather than toss them in the trash bin, you’re providing others with something they can use. You can also spread the word to local beauty influencers or YouTubers to see if there are any who would like to use your bottles for a creative project. It's beneficial to anyone and does a good deed for various organisations, too.
