• the hole may have a rectangular shape, a circular shape, a triangular, or any other shape suitable for collecting a part of the product contained in the cavity.
• the hole allows to collect a part of the product contained in the container. The user may then test said collected part before using the whole product.
• the collecting portion comprises at least one axial groove.
• the axial groove is made in the thickness of the closure member.
• the axial groove may extend axially on at least one part of the closure member.
• the axial groove may extend axially on the whole length of the closure member, from the free end of the closure member to the fastening element 64a.
• the collecting portion may comprise a plurality of axial grooves.
• Said plurality of axial grooves may be regularly spaced apart on the whole circumference of the closure member.
• the axial grooves may have the same axial length or different axial lengths.
• the axial grooves allow to collect a part of the product contained in the container. The user may then test said collected part before using the whole product.

• Said plurality of annular grooves may be axially regularly spaced apart of the closure member extending from a free end of said closure member to the fastening element 84a.
• the body is, for example, tubular and is, for example, provided with a sealing annular flange at an end opposite to the gripper.
• the teeth are more inclined towards the longitudinal axis of the first dispensing orifice than in the stressed position.
• the teeth are deformed in the stressed position in which the teeth in contact with the dispensing closure form a first angle with the longitudinal axis.
• the application member comprises four rows of teeth arranged two by two on each side of the dispensing closure.
• the staggered arrangement of the teeth allows a zig-zag distribution of the product to be dispensed.
• Said device may further comprise a temporary closing member configured to close an opened end of the upper container before the first use, and comprising a cylindrical skirt surrounding said opened end and a plug connected to said cylindrical skirt, said cylindrical skirt being provided, on its inner cylindrical surface, with inner threads cooperating with outer threads provided on the upper container and on its outer cylindrical surface, with first anti-rotation means cooperating with second anti-rotation means provided on the lower container for preventing rotation between the closing member and the lower container, the closing member being deprived from any axially retaining members with both containers, such that when the upper container is rotated in a first rotation direction, the closing member translates downwardly until falling into the first product cavity.

• FIG. 1 is a front view of a device according to a first embodiment of the present invention
• FIG. 2 is a cross section view along line II-II of the device of Figure 1;
• the device When used to package and dispense only one product, the device may comprise only the upper container 14 and not the lower container 12, or the both containers, but the upper container act like a dispensing member.
• the sealing portion 18c is located axially away from the opened end of the neck 18 and is thus not subjected to degradation when the lower container is carried by its neck and/or when the upper container 14 is assembled on the lower container 12.
• the sealing portion 18c has a c-shape in cross section, which allows said sealing portion 18c to be elastically deformed when inserting the dispensing chimney 24 of the upper container 14 in the neck 18 of the lower container 12. Such a particular shape increases radial interference between the sealing portion 18c and the sealing lip 32. The airtightness of the device 10 is thus increased.
• the upper portion 18d of the neck 18 is configured to guide the upper container 14 until the assembly skirt 30 of the dispensing chimney 24 cooperates by snap-fit attachment with the lower container 12.
• Each tooth 44 has a base section connected to the cover 42 and a free end opposite to the base section.
• the teeth are thus capable, from the material used and/or their dimension, to be deformed under a slight solicitation, for example by the dispensing closure 26, or by the user during the application on an application surface such as the hair and/or the scalp, and to return to their initial position when no solicitation is exerted on the teeth.
• the second sealing lip 54b has an axial length smaller than the axial length of the first sealing lip 54a.
• the first rotation direction may be a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.
• the lower container 12 may be processed with injection blow molding process.
• the lower container 12 is made for example in polymer material, such as thermoplastic material.
• the lower container 12 is, for example, injection molded onto a preform core consisting of the container neck with a thick tube of polymer material attached.
• the preform core has longitudinal outer ribs which will form the anti-rotation longitudinal ribs 18e provided on the inner circumferential surface of the neck 18 when compressed air is filled into the preform for inflating the thick tube into the bottle shape of the lower container.
• the longitudinal anti-rotation ribs 18e are thus manufactured directly during injection blow molding process of the lower container 12.
