What are the standard perfume bottle sizes?

What are the standard perfume bottle sizes?
Perfume is sold in a wide range of bottle sizes that simply indicate the volume of liquid inside the bottle, decanter or atomiser. Volumes are expressed in millilitres (ml) or in fluid ounces (abbreviated “fl oz” or sometimes just “oz”).Here are the standard perfume bottle sizes.
0.05 fl oz – 1.5 ml
This is the typical sample vial you receive when you buy perfume samples online or request one politely at a fragrance counter.
0.17 fl oz – 5 ml
This is the size of a travel-size spray atomiser—good for up to about 65 sprays—and slips easily into a small purse on a night out.
0.5 fl oz – 15 ml
Usually the size of a slim purse spray.
1.0 fl oz – 30 ml
Considered a “regular” small size.
1.4 fl oz – 40 ml
1.7 fl oz – 50 ml
Also regarded as a standard size.
2.0 fl oz – 60 ml
3.0 fl oz – 90 ml
3.4 fl oz – 100 ml
Another industry-standard volume.
4.2 fl oz – 125 ml
So, these are the most common glass perfume-bottle capacities you’ll see on the market. Of course, you may occasionally come across other sizes; choose whichever suits your needs.
