Can I bring more than one perfume?
Yes, you are allowed to bring more than one perfume in your carry-on luggage, as long as you comply with the regulations for containers of maximum 100 ml and 1 litre in total.
How should I transport my perfumes?
Place them in transparent bags with a zip closure of 20x20cm alongside the other liquids. Remove the bag when going through the security check.
