Serious answers only please! I found an object in a dried-up stream in France (yet again!)

I found this tiny object that looks like a mini perfume bottle but I don’t know what it is !

It looks like one of those Glade plug-in air freshener diffuser cartridges.

That was my first thought too, especially with the little bottle shape.

It's a wick, you can see the part that would go down into the fluid in that last photo :)

u/No-Age-9543 2h ago

It's the wick you can see the rest in the bottle and it even has the glade logo on the bottle. The blue plastic at the top was for securing the wick but it's been pulled on

I seriously thought it was an old perfume bottle or something at first too!

u/NygirlinNashville222 2h ago

It’s not a cork…..it’s one of those cotton wicks, or whatever their made of, all swelled up from the water
