I purchased a dropper cap for my bottle of vetiver. I purchased from
aroma tools. At first, I really liked it as it made using my vetiver
much, well, quicker.
However, I am finding now, when I try to take the lid off, the rubber
part of the dropper is sticking to the bottle and I have a difficult
time taking the top off.
It isn't a perfect solution. I am hoping to find a better quality
dropper top.
