With Nomad Refill, Aptar Beauty introduces a new technology which enhances the at-home refill experience, while offering customization options that reinforce brand equity and increase product desirability. For the first time, consumers can carry their own favorite fragrance around and refill it easily, so they can enjoy as many touch-ups as they want during the day. This new solution is designed to meet the consumers demand of the double-digit sales growth of the mini fragrance and refill solutions markets. It is also a new opportunity for brands to extend their product offer with a new object of desire, to boost fragrance consumption.

New Refill Gesture, New Fragrance Category

Aptar Beauty has reengineered the refilling process, to tackle the main problems and difficulties of at-home refills. Most travel sprays are not refillable or require a funnel or another tool, which can be messy and carries the risk of spilling or overfilling. It also usually requires buying an additional refill bottle. Alternative systems on the market require a drawn-out pumping action to transfer the liquid, in a process that can be considered too complicated, inelegant and difficult by consumers and brands. Nomad Refill addresses these pain points, in a simple and convenient solution without additional accessories, thanks to a patented integrated connector.

Nomad Refill is a game-changing purse spray for touch-ups, refillable in less than 5 seconds on your fragrance.

The refilling process becomes easy, quick and clean and is compatible with any perfume bottle using SNI15 screw pump, following a few simple steps:

•     Unscrew the pump from your fragrance bottle and remove the bottom cap from the base of Nomad Refill
•     Screw the connector of Nomad Refill onto the fragrance bottle and flip it upside down
•     Slightly pull Nomad Refill to activate the refilling process
•     The refilling will automatically stop when full, leaving a free expansion space in the 10ml bottle to avoid any risk of overfilling and to keep pressure within safety limits
•     Once full, turn it upright and remove Nomad Refill from the fragrance bottle

This innovative technology ensures no risk of product loss, while keeping the fragrance free from contact with air during use to maintain olfactory integrity. Consumers can still control the refill amount, as the flow stops as soon as the bottle is released. In other words, they can fill as little as they want, but never too much. Once completed, Nomad Refill’s portable format is just the right size for a purse or toiletry bag, an ideal companion for on-the-go fragrance touch-ups.
Tested and Approved by Consumers

“The market is ready for this innovation. Smaller formats are experiencing a high momentum, especially in the at-home refill category. They are no longer considered to be a lesser version of a full-size fragrance. Consumers now see them as more than a sample; they see them as a true object of desire. Nomad Refill caters to both existing and emerging consumer habits, and we have high expectations for it.”
