Perfume Pens

[Neil]

Not been too keen on making these until now, but had a lot of requests for them recently so made some today to test the market. There are one or two in the pack with a slightly different shape as little imperfections were found in one or two of the blanks as I turned them.



This is what they are:

Top row
Santos rosewood
Andaman island redwood turned with a bead and narrow as there was a fault in the wood

Bloody Hell Neil, you don't do things by half do you? I'm not keen on them either and still only make the things I like to make but I can see that they'll sell well. Every one of them a gem.

Slacking I see, the first row has less in them.

Great reference guide on woods for me

I did a survey amongst the women folk around here to find out their reactions on perfume pens ..not favourable !! . I'm still waiting for one of them to say that they would use one ,so far 100 % said that they wouldn't use or buy one Apparently atomisers are the thing of the day

I have a few kits of these Neil, i may just pinch your style ..

look nicely turned & finished Neil but,

I'm with Ed etc, can't budge the blooming things, still got a couple to make that I bought a year & half ago, those I did make I sold one and gave the other three away & don't think any of them have been used as no-one can get into the perfume bottles without damaging them. I wish you better success with them.

Steven,

These aren't the atomisers, these haven't got any bottles. The atomisers are terrible kits, I agree with you there, the engineering tolerances on them are so fine they rarely work satisfactorily.

We used to call them perfume applicators years ago Violet has a collection of them I have made them as bridesmaids gifts and a set in ivory applicator T/R atomizes and a oyster clock but I haven't done any for years the problem was getting the perfume out of these new spray bottles the way I got around it was they used to give a syringe with them just cut the top of insert it in the applicator were the tip fits in and spray away but dont over fill them some are not water tight

Neil,

I believe the novelty factor on your stall and because they will look relatively different , become a talking point will distract the ladies briefly to either buy or turn back to your pens for sale. Trust you have lots of sales be interested in the reaction on the table. An advantage is to have perfume in one as a form of tester. The use of different timbers a master stroke IMHO.
