1. A packaging device, of longitudinal axis, for a cosmetic product refill fitted with a pump dispenser system for dispensing the cosmetic product contained in the refill, the pump dispenser system having a pump body and a pushbutton which is movable with respect to the pump body between a low dispensing position and a high storage position, the device comprising:
a case provided with an accommodation cavity to accommodate the refill and including an open upper end and a lower end delimited by a first bottom, the refill being configured to be removably fixed to the open end of the case by a temporary joining mechanism between an insertion position, in which the refill is held in the case, and a taken-out position, in which the refill is taken out of the case, the refill being delimited at the bottom by a second bottom,
wherein the temporary joining mechanism comprises an intermediate ring interposed between the case and the refill so as to ensure the assembly of the removable refill in the case, the intermediate ring including on its radially inner face at least partially deformable projecting elements configured to interact with an external holding surface of the refill, the holding surface being free from complementary reliefs to the projecting elements of the intermediate ring, and, in the insertion position, the refill is held by friction by the intermediate ring.
