Background:

Aptar Beauty launches Nomad Refill, a stylish, eco-friendly, and easy-to-use travel-size fragrance.

Traditionally considered either a gift item or a niche luxury accessory, travel-size fragrances are now becoming standalone products, appreciated for their convenience and sophistication. Savéria Guelfucci, EMEA Marketing Manager at Aptar Beauty, notes, “Travel sizes are evolving into fully-fledged products, perfectly suited to on-the-go lifestyles, while becoming increasingly refined.”

The Nomad Refill is designed for ease of use, compatible with all bottles featuring the widely adopted SNI 15 screw neck. This allows users to refill quickly and effortlessly, transforming what was once seen as a tedious task into a seamless, enjoyable ritual. “Refilling must feel intuitive and rewarding,” adds Guelfucci, “and Nomad Refill delivers exactly that, in line with how new generations consume fragrance.”

Beyond convenience, Nomad Refill also anticipates future sustainability regulations, which will require primary packaging to be reusable. Aptar combines practical design with customizable looks, allowing brands to show their unique style. The platform offers customizable caps, a wide range of decoration options, and premium materials such as marble, ceramic, leather, and wood, making it adaptable for both mass-market and luxury offerings.

To suit industrial and market needs, Aptar provides two levels of customization: a rapid solution with short lead times and low minimum orders, and a premium option with high-end finishes and bespoke materials. Aptar also provides filling, packing, and complete service solutions, so brands can handle the entire process easily.

Many major brands are already using Aptar’s Nomad Refill. The first launches will be in summer 2026 in the UK, Saudi Arabia, and other EMEA countries, with growing interest in Latin America and Asia.
