Toiletries and travel-size cosmetics packed in a bag for travel

Yes, as long as it fits within the standard liquids allowance, each container no larger than 100ml, all packed together in a single transparent resealable bag, which is the same rule applied to any liquid in hand luggage on UK flights.

The practical rules

Perfume counts as a liquid for airport security purposes regardless of format, spray, oil or solid, and needs to go in your liquids bag alongside anything else like toiletries, within the standard container size limit. A full-size 100ml bottle is right at the maximum, so if your bottle is larger you’ll either need to check it in the hold or decant a smaller amount into a travel atomiser instead. Rules can occasionally vary slightly by airport or airline, so it’s always worth a quick check before travelling if you’re unsure.

A sensible approach for travel

Travel-sized atomisers or smaller bottles avoid the hassle entirely and reduce the risk of a full bottle leaking in your luggage. Our guide to travelling with perfume covers packing properly, alongside the complete guide to perfume.
