Help, atomizer problem. I was sent to you fine folks for help.
A while ago, I bought on e-bay, 2 bottles of of perfume, both unused. The fragrance Audace, by Rochas is no longer made and I like the fragrance.
I started to use one some time ago and it is fine. I leave it downstairs. I was getting dressed for an evening occasion last night and tried to use the second bottle, just because it was handy. Immediately the atomizer top snapped off, leaving me no way to get the perfume out. If I could figure out a way to get this out, I could transfer it to another bottle. The atomizer showed traces of glue where it joins the top of the bottle so I'm sure the seller knew and tried a do it yourself job to fix it.
Any ideas on how I might get access to the liquid? I'm sure that it is under pressure so that it would spray. It has been too long to contact the seller and I paid quite a it for it.
Any helpful hints would be appreciated.
I guess it is also a warning about buying things that have atomizers.
I dunno. I assume the atomizer is atop a screw-top cap.
If the atomizer is busted off, she could simply unscrew the cap.
Or is there something I'm not seeing here?

1. being that the bottle has an atomizer ...
the contents are not under pressure. The "glue" may dissolve with acetone (nail polish remover) or lacquer thinner, I would suggest that put in a vise between stiff rubber or flexible plastic and remove the tip with a pair of channel-lock pliers. Don't over tighten the vise or you will end up with nothing more than nice smelling shoes. Be sure to have a sealing container close by because that stuff will evaporate very quickly... and at $150 per 0.5 oz. You probably don't want too much of that drifting off into the atmosphere once you get it open. DO NOT try and heat the bottle with a flame to loosen the top... It's contents are extremely flammable.
Whoa-hoh.
This stuffd costs circa $150 per half-ounce, and a primitive can afford it, in this lousy Bush economy, the worst economy since the Battle of Tours?

Coach, I actually had to look the Battle of Tours up, to see when it was! H5!

$150 for a 1/2 oz. bottle of perfume and she can't open the bottle...... and these are the intelligent elite that think they should be running this country. :mental:
-
$150 / half OZ ....What's the bet that if the primitive were to wear this in public bystanders would liken the smell to someone having taken a huge dump in a flower shop.

Actually the market went up then. Now Adrianople, on the other hand....

My bet is there isn't anything wrong with the atomizer. This DUmmie simply wanted to brag about having very expensive perfume and this seemed the best way to do it without seeming to brag.
Pretty damn smart. "I have a problem with (simply give name of very expensive perfume when it was irrelevant)" then let someone else point out how expensive it is.

Pressurized? Is the DUmmy sure she didn't pay $150 for a relabelled can of Right Guard?

The atomizer base is probably 'crimped' to the glass part of the perfume bottle. If worse comes to worse, they could always drill (with a dremel tool) a small hole in the metal and transfer the perfume to a bottle with a screw on atomizer.
