How to make your carry-on smell like your favorite toiletry brand

There are five easy steps:

  1. Stay at a hotel with your favorite brand of toiletries (Bulgari, Blaise Mautin, etc.).
  2. Call housekeeping and request an extra set of toiletries. After all, you have to get toiletries for your guest bedroom at home, and they might as well be good ones.
  3. Place said toiletries in your ziplock bag, but don’t seal it. This step is key.
  4. Arrive at your destination and remove the toiletries from all over your carry-on.
  5. Wipe down your laptop, computer cords, noise canceling headphones, bag etc., to make sure they’re not soapy anymore.

Karma is a bitch, I guess. On the plus side all my electronics smell awesome.

On a serious note, if you do want your carryon to have some sort of scent, a bar of soap tucked into one of the interior pouches does the trick. I have an unopened bar of soap from the FS Denver and damn do I love how it makes my bag smell!

A small bottle of YSL perfume once exploded in my toiletry bag. The bag still smells perfume.

@Gizmosdad: Guess I'm not an FF. 200K+ miles in the last few years and 60K booked through June 4 of this year, but never had any of those happen.
