[�mermaid�]

ok..it says the perfume comes in.. 0.35 oz, 1.0 oz and 1.7 oz ...how many mls are they??

It will depend on the density of the specific perfume. Since perfumes are alcohol-based (with other organic components), they are generally less dense than water.

As an approximation, however, lets consider that a perfume is the same density as water (1g/ml). Now:

1 fl. oz

Sorry, itchy trigger finger.....

1 fl. oz = 28.413ml

thus:

0.35 fl. oz = 9.9ml (approx 10ml)

1 fl oz = 28.4 ml (approx 30ml)

1.7 fl. oz = 48.3ml (approx 50ml)

Now, pure simple alcohol (ethanol) is four-fifths the density of water, so to get the volumes corresponding to pure alcohol, divide the above final figures by 0.8 each.

However, perfumes will have densities somewhere between that of water and pure ethanol, lets say 0.9g/ml.

The approximate figures given above, though, ought to be accurate enough.

No problem Mermaid!
