1. A squeeze spray device comprising a deformable bottle for holding a liquid composition, a leave-in-place dispenser cap attached to the deformable bottle, and a dip-tube, one end of said dip-tube being received by the dispenser cap and the other end terminating inside the deformable bottle; said dispenser cap comprising:a) a base section, comprising a means for attachment to the deformable bottle, a segment defining at least one aperture and a receiver for the dip-tube on the interior face of said segment, the at least one aperture providing fluid connection between the interior of the deformable bottle and exterior to the base section, both via the dip-tube and otherwise; andb) a moveable member, retained exterior to the base section, comprising a cover for said segment of the base section, said cover defining a spray hole;the moveable member functioning to change the device between an inoperable state in which the spray hole is blocked from within by a blocking means that forms a part of the base section and an operable state in which the cover defining the spray hole is at a distance from said blocking means, wherein, the receiver for the dip-tube is in the interior of a tube having a polygonal interior cross-section, said tube projecting outwards from the base section and wherein, in operation, the segment of the base section defining at least one aperture and the cover therefor form a swirl chamber where air and a liquid composition expelled from the deformable bottle are mixed together prior to exiting through the spray hole. 2. A squeeze spray device according to claim 1, wherein the moveable member comprises a restraining means that interacts with the base section to prevent movement of the cover defining the spray hole beyond a pre-set distance from the blocking means, the device being in an operable state when the cover is at said pre-set distance from the blocking means. 3. A squeeze spray device according to claim 1, wherein the moveable member comprises a restraining means that interacts with the base section to provide resistance to the movement of the cover defining the spray hole away from the position in which the spray hole is blocked from within by the blocking means. 4. A squeeze spray device according to claim 1, wherein the device is changeable between its operable and its inoperable states by sliding the cover away from and towards the blocking means, respectively. 5. A squeeze spray device according to claim 1, wherein the device is changeable between its operable and its inoperable states by screwing the cover away from and towards the blocking means, respectively. 6. A squeeze spray device according to claim 1, wherein the segment of the base section defining at least one aperture defines more than one aperture and each aperture independently provides fluid connection between the interior of the deformable bottle and exterior to said segment of the base section both via the dip-tube and otherwise. 7. A squeeze spray device according to claim 1, wherein the segment of the base section defining at least one aperture defines more than one aperture and one or more apertures provide fluid connection between the interior of the deformable bottle and exterior to said segment of the base section without fluid connection via the dip-tube. 8. A squeeze spray device according to claim 1, wherein the segment of the base section defining at least one orifice defines at least three orifices. 9. A squeeze spray device according to claim 7, wherein the segment of the base section defining at least three orifices defines a number of orifices equal to the number of sides of the portion of the interior of the tube of polygonal cross-section. 10. A squeeze spray device according to claim 7, wherein the interior of the tube having a polygonal cross-section has a triangular cross-section. 11. A squeeze spray device according to claim 1, wherein the cover for the segment of the base section defining at least one aperture is a capped tube, the cap portion of which defines the spray hole and the interior side wall of which fits snugly over the exterior side wall of the tube projecting outwards from the base section. 12. A squeeze spray device according to claim 1, wherein the segment defining the at least one aperture is tubular in overall shape. 13. A squeeze spray device according to claim 12, wherein the tubular segment defining the at least one aperture is closed at its outer end by the blocking means. 14. A squeeze spray device according to claim 13, wherein the segment defining the at least one aperture is frusto-conical. 15. A squeeze spray device according to claim 12, wherein the at least one aperture is a slit running longitudinally through the wall of the tubular section. 16. A squeeze spray device according to claim 12, wherein the tubular segment defining the at least one aperture is located centrally at the outer end of the tube having a polygonal interior cross-section and shares a common axis therewith. 17. A squeeze spray device according to claim 16, wherein the tubular segment defining the at least one aperture has a smaller maximum outer dimension orthogonal to the axis than the corresponding outer dimension of the tube having a polygonal interior cross-section. 18. A squeeze spray device according to claim 1, wherein the dispenser cap comprises an outer skirt that fits over the upper part of the deformable bottle. 19. A squeeze spray device according to claim 18, wherein the lower edge of the outer skirt is saddle-shaped and fits into a corresponding indentation in the side wall of the deformable bottle. 20. A dispenser cap suitable for use as part of a squeeze spray device according to claim 1. 21. A method of topical application of a liquid cosmetic composition comprising the use of a squeeze spray device according to claim 1. 22. A method of topical application of a liquid deodorant composition according to claim 21. 23. A consumer product comprising a squeeze spray device as described in claim 1 containing a liquid composition. 24. A consumer product according to claim 23, wherein the liquid composition is a deodorant or antiperspirant composition suitable for topical application to the human body. 25. A consumer product according to claim 23, wherein the liquid composition comprises a C2 to C4 alcohol.
