I love all things perfume. My husband inherited his mother's belongings some years ago. Among them was an old Avon jar. Lillian used it to store paperclips. I wondered if it would clean up and put it through the dishwasher (the bottom glass part) and it came out sparkling. I hand polished the silver top. Then I wondered what to do with it.
It's such a pretty jar. I decided I wanted highly perfumed soothing lotion. I had a bottle of expensive unscented lotion that I was given by my Mom. I just poured it into the jar and added half a bottle of Mircalla, Countess of Karnstein and shook it up. The white lotion turned a lovely creamy beige and it was beautifully perfumed. So easy and cheap. I bought a huge lot of perfumed Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab perfumes in bottles and imps. I kept the ones I liked (which were few) and sold the rest. I made money off the deal! It was a great lot. I really like Mircalla, and one Chaos Theory, and about 4 other bottles. The rest went to good homes. 
I got this picture off Google because I didn't want to try to take a pic that small with my phone. The lotion is a bit thin, if you want thicker, I suggest you start with unscented body cream. It would also be fun to add perfume to already scented lotions and cream.
So, buy those pretty jars and bottles you see at thrift stores and yard sales. They do come in handy.
