English is not my main language, but in my time in England ( granted it was a long time ago) I never heard the word "tipping" used when describing spilling something onto hands. Yes I have heard it used in, "could you tip some water on to my hand" but I never heard it used by a person who spilled something on to there own hands. Strange use of words, but I could be wrong...
You're not wrong Wallfire, to 'tip' a substance onto one's hand is to indicate a deliberate act.
To 'spill' is to do so unintentionally or accidentally.
A pump-dispenser is used to draw a gel or a viscous substance and can be found for lotion products.
These products usually have their dispenser separated from the container and purchaser attaches them
for use. It's not attached due to the chance of leakage during transport.
A perfume dispenser is an atomiser that converts a liquid into a fine spray. A standard aerosol works in
this manner and a cap is present to protect the device.
What Charlie Rowley was dealing with is still unclear. All we know is it was a well-known brand that smelled
of ammonia and by washing any 'spillage' of with water, it assures the Novichok effects won't come into play
for a few more hours.
(Never mind the confusion of it being a sealed packet that the container was in!)
