Perfume in hand carry is usually allowed only if the container is 100 ml or less and it fits inside your airport’s clear liquids bag. At most airports, bigger bottles should go in checked luggage, and the liquid rules still apply even if the bottle is partly full.

Quick rule

  • 100 ml or less per bottle.
  • Put it in the transparent resealable liquids bag.
  • One liquids bag per passenger is the usual limit.

What that means

A 100 ml perfume bottle is generally fine in hand carry, but a 150 ml bottle is usually not, even if it contains only a small amount left. Perfume is treated like other liquids and sprays at security.

Practical tip

If you want to travel with a larger fragrance, pack it in checked baggage or buy a travel-size bottle for carry-on.

TL;DR: For hand carry, keep perfume at 100 ml max per bottle and place it in the liquids bag.
