Does anyone know how to rid an old perfume bottle of the smell so that I can use the bottle for something else

I have an ornate bottle that I am wanting to store some sand in from my favourite beach in Australia, however it must have been used for perfume or something else really strong smelling. I would really like to get rid of the smell before I fill it with my special sand! Any ideas?Does anyone know how to rid an old perfume bottle of the smell so that I can use the bottle for something else

Bleach might leave a smell too, so try a solution of 1/3 water, 1/3 rubbing alcohol, and 1/3 vinnegar. Then put the top on.





Dump it out after a couple of weeks, and leave the bottle open to ventilate, until it is bone dry inside, which is likely to take a couple of weeks too.





Then fill 1/2 full of backing soda. Put the top back on and shake it every day 2x a day (mornin/nite) for a week. Pour out the soda, then rinse and dry well. No more smell.
...bleach.
