Perfume can degrade over time if not stored properly. To maintain its quality, strength, and longevity, follow these best preservation tips:

1. Keep It Away from Heat & Sunlight 

• Heat and direct sunlight break down perfume molecules, causing the scent to fade.
• Store your perfume in a cool, dark place (like a drawer or cupboard).
• Avoid keeping it near windows or in a hot car.

2. Store in Its Original Bottle 

• Perfume bottles are designed to protect the fragrance from air exposure.
• Avoid transferring perfume to another container, as it may lead to oxidation and faster evaporation.

3. Avoid Moisture & Humidity 

• Bathrooms are not ideal for storing perfumes due to humidity.
• Excess moisture can weaken the scent and alter its composition.

4. Keep the Bottle Tightly Sealed

• Always close the cap properly to prevent air from entering, which can cause the fragrance to evaporate or degrade.
• Oxygen exposure can change the perfume’s scent over time.

5. Store at the Right Temperature

• The ideal storage temperature is around 15-20°C (59-68°F).
• Avoid extreme temperature changes, like placing it in the fridge and then exposing it to warm air frequently.

6. Avoid Shaking the Bottle

• Perfume does not need to be shaken before use.
• Shaking can introduce air bubbles, which might speed up the breakdown of fragrance compounds.

7. Use It Within 2-3 Years

• Most perfumes last 2-3 years if stored properly.
• Stronger scents (with woody, oriental, or musky notes) last longer than lighter citrus-based ones.
• If the color darkens or the smell changes, it might be time to replace it.

Extra Tip: Store in the Original Box 

• Keeping the perfume in its original packaging provides extra protection from light and temperature changes.

By following these simple steps, you can extend the life of your perfume and enjoy its true fragrance for years!
