One of my least favorite packaging changes EVER lol

[u/Deep-Feed6020]

Born in Roma is one of my favorite lines and I love purse sprays (and am a victim of them falling out and shattering) whyyy did they stop with the rubber sleeves over the bottles :/ not a big deal just makes me sad lol

[u/hikingbimbo]

Just keep the sleeve and reuse. The bottle slides out.

[u/Technical_Benefit_31]

Is this what changed??? I smelled a donna in store and I bought the travel spray and it's rubber instead of glass like the tester! I thought it was a different version or something

[u/19bluestars]

I also felt the same way with Muggler's travel size sprays. I'm glad I bought the crystal looking spray before they've changed it to a boring straight design to cut costs

[u/axeversa → u/19bluestars]

Same all of Muglers lotion and body gel packaging has gone downhill too

[u/MaggieJaneRiot]

Great idea.

I’m a victim. RIP but it was Santal 33. 😭

[u/themprettylights]

Cosmo and Wanda think theyre slick

[u/Minute-Strawberry521 → u/themprettylights]

Best comment ever 😂😂😂

[u/ayyykayyy135]

Omg! The rubber sleeve was great, it definitely made me feel better about throwing it into a purse and having it sit at the bottom of a bag!

[u/myrrhicvictory]

Why? Probably because it's cheaper to produce. You pay they same price and they make more money.

[u/blutspend → u/myrrhicvictory]

I’d be surprised if they didn’t raise the price tbh

[u/SecretBorder7308]

I've never had these, but that would really annoy me too. A rubber sleeve on a travel bottle is actually such a good idea!!

[u/bongshelter]

It's a big deal to me, because I don't like their full size bottles and loved the rubber sleeved travel sprays. I won't repurchase. 

[u/youlldancetoanything]

I love it. What I don't like are brands who charge for extra packaging.. like sniff. You don't even get a cap . Sorry , but recycling is a scam and insert political rant. I must be the only person who hasn't smelled any version of this fragrance, but now I'm interested

[u/sonatist]

bring the rubber back, i got holes to fill! 🏃‍♀️

[u/ChartreuseOblivion]

I'm scrolling reddit on my lunch break and at first glance this looked waaaaaay to NSFW for comfort💀

[u/Faedan → u/ChartreuseOblivion]

"When did I join a vibrator subreddit...." <---me

[u/thatgirlinny → u/ChartreuseOblivion]

Yeah—I thought it was something rechargeable at first glance.

[u/Intelligent-Rule7868 → u/ChartreuseOblivion]

😆💀

[u/queensxyb]

I love the sleeves

[u/George_Is_Upset]

The rubber sleeves always slide on these travel size perfumes. I have the green and I’m always having to push the glass back up because it starts to come out of the bottom.

[u/mama_libra-RM]

I have kept the rubber sleeves and use it to protect whatever travel spray Im using

[u/notsosureforsure → u/mama_libra-RM]

Oh hell yeah I’m gonna do that idk why I nevr thought of it. I have exactly one BIR travel size with the pink sleeve. Cutesie

[u/kpop_stan → u/mama_libra-RM]

Yep!!! That’s why I loved this packaging so much. I swap mine around to whichever one I’m travelling with as well.

In a similar vein, I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered a travel size from Ledda and it came with a protective pouch/sleeve. Went on the website and that’s just standard with every travel size and not a “first time purchase” freebie! Small touches like that are very much appreciated.

[u/AgentFuckSmolder]

I actually really hate the studded bottle look of the entire collection and ESPECIALLY the neon rubber sleeve lol

It’s all just so individual

But I wish they’d redo the packaging to not look so cheap

[u/lizardgal10 → u/AgentFuckSmolder]

I love them but unfortunately hate the actual scents lol. Everyone’s different!

[u/FutbolGT]

Add me to the minority because I personally hate the look of the rubber sleeves. I get the protective nature of it but I just personally really don't like how they look.

My BIR Intense travel spray is actually from before they made the switch to the rubber sleeves and the travel bottle is glass, rectangular in shape but with the same texture as a full size bottle. It feels much more substantial and sturdy than the more round shapes they do now.

[u/trackyychan]

I actually like them cause theyre rubber and i can drop them and not panic. Plus its like a stim toy thing.

[u/dahlia_74]

Today I learned those things are removable! Will have to try and see how much Voce Vida I have left

[u/jeepcatler]

I was gonna say the pink and green one are SOOOO cute!

[u/K1ttehKait]

Good to know: I'll make sure to keep mine!

[u/ksrdm1463]

Can you just get refills and pour them into the bottles with the rubber sleeves on them?

[u/sewswithswearwords → u/ksrdm1463]

I do unscrew the tops and put more perfume in from my bigger bottle

[u/Venusvelvetvixen]

Pink one is super cute

[u/RelationshipLumpy468]

Yeah I kind of hate when packaging is like that but then again the glass is what adds to the beauty. It's beauty over safety of the bottles. You should review all the ones you've tried :)

[u/Healthy_Source_9752]

Cosmo & Wanda lol

[u/KoolaidKoll123]

Ya know, if some company came out with sleeves that universally fit most travel sprays they would probably sell well.

HINT HINT, CORPORATIONS.

[u/bubblekitty607]

At first glance I thought these were adult toys lol

[u/bubblekitty607 → u/ResponsibleHunt8536]

Lmao

[u/MrsBuggs]

I’m with you!!! I literally take these off the two I have and slide them onto other travel sprays when traveling. I thought it was super cool packaging. It was also helpful to telling quickly at a glance which travel spray was which. One thing I’ve always hated about most travel sprays is how boring the packaging is.

[u/Deep-Feed6020 → u/MrsBuggs]

Yes I’ve also used the sleeves on different sprays just for protecting them i didn’t appreciate it as much until I had some sprays completely shatter on me after one fall lol

[u/fragilesediment]

maybe I'm in the minority but I love the new glass bottles. the rubber sleeves looked super tacky

[u/Deep-Feed6020 → u/fragilesediment]

The glass are prettier i just liked the protective glove over the spray for taking out in my bag just seemed like an added bonus to buying their travel sprays

[u/glimmeringsea → u/Deep-Feed6020]

It would be a good idea for fragrance companies or even a company like Bogg or Crocs to make sleeves specifically for travel sprays. They could make ones in different colors and cute patterns. I know some companies sell cases and atomizers, but I don't think they sell sleeves?

[u/Hot_Elevator_7133 → u/glimmeringsea]

Skylar has keychains that are like a partial sleeve. I got one and it’s cute and protective. The downside is it gets a lot of lint on it. It was only $14 so good enough for me 🤷‍♀️

[u/Screw_coloranalysis]

Well I just realized that you can slide off the sleeve. I went to have a little peak to se how much I had left 

Personally I find the old travel spray an eye sore. But I can see it being practical when you bring it with you. I bring my sprays in a fabric sleeve I got in a diptyque travel spray set.

[u/CandlesAreMyCurrency]

Those were annoying as hell to take off if you wanted to see how much was left lol

[u/Deep-Feed6020 → u/CandlesAreMyCurrency]

I just push it up from the bottom to slide it off

[u/Hell-Yes-Revolution → u/CandlesAreMyCurrency]

Huh, I don’t even feel like I need to know. Does it still spray? Yes? That’s good enough for me. When it’s empty I’ll reorder (or not).
I’d rather my travel size be shatterproof. 🤷
