None of the items you mention will do much for you (and they are expensive.) My advice, start with a little knowledge. It costs very little to acquire (if you're willing to do the reading) and them, if you decide that making and selling perfume is for you, you'll have a good idea of how to proceed. Try this link and look for the offer with both books:

www.perfumeprojects.com

Good luck with it!

: : It really depends on the volume of product you believe you can sell. I have sold my own creations (average 10 - 15 bottles a day) at local flee markets on weekends and look at is as a slightly profitable hobby, all without purchasing any machinery. On the other hand, I have looked into purchasing a table crimper, bulk purchases of bottles and pump sprayers, boxes, etc. I have researched the price of materials and believe if I wanted to I could produce flee market quality product for about $1 a bottle and sell for $10.
