Perfume is more than just a fragrance; it’s an experience, a memory, and a signature part of your identity. However, like any luxury item, perfumes require special care to maintain their integrity and ensure they last as long as possible. Over time, exposure to heat, light, air, and humidity can alter the delicate balance of a fragrance, causing it to degrade, lose its freshness, or change its scent altogether.
Sunlight can alter the fragrance and degrade its quality. Store perfumes in a dark place, like a drawer or closet, away from windows.
Heat can break down a fragrance’s composition. Store perfumes in a cool, consistent environment (around 60-70°F or 15-21°C) away from humidity, like in a bedroom or vanity.
Exposure to air can oxidize the perfume and change its scent. Always ensure the cap is tightly secured after use.
4. Store Upright
Store perfumes upright to avoid leakage or spills and to keep the liquid away from the nozzle, preventing contamination.
5. Keep Perfumes in Their Original Boxes
The box provides extra protection from light and air. If you have the box, keep your perfume in it to help extend its lifespan.
Bonus Tips:
• Avoid the Bathroom: Heat and humidity can damage the fragrance.
• Don’t Refrigerate: Refrigerators are too cold and can introduce moisture.
• Use Within a Few Years: Fragrances can lose their freshness over time, so use them within 3-5 years for the best experience.
Proper storage is key to keeping your perfumes fresh. By following these simple steps—protecting them from light, heat, and air—you’ll enjoy your signature scent for longer.
