Perfume Care – 10 Simple Tips To Store Your Perfumes and Make Them Last Longer

Store in a Cool, Dark Place

Perfume is sensitive to temperature and light, which can break down its chemical composition and alter its scent. Storing your perfume in a cool, dark place helps preserve its integrity.

Keep the Bottle Tightly Closed

Perfume can evaporate and lose its potency if exposed to air. Keeping the bottle tightly closed when not in use prevents air from entering and affecting the fragrance.

Avoid Temperature Fluctuations

Temperature fluctuations can destabilize the perfume’s chemical structure, leading to changes in scent. Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can be particularly damaging.

Don’t Shake the Bottle

Shaking a perfume bottle can introduce air bubbles, which may oxidize the fragrance and alter its scent. Additionally, shaking can cause the ingredients to mix improperly.

Store in Its Original Packaging

The original packaging of a perfume bottle is designed to protect the fragrance from light, air, and temperature changes. Keeping your perfume in its original box.

Avoid Storing in the Bathroom

Bathrooms are subject to frequent changes in temperature and humidity, which can negatively impact perfume. The steam from showers and baths can infiltrate the bottle.

Use Smaller Bottles for Frequent Use

For those who frequently use their perfume, transferring it to a smaller bottle can help preserve the main bottle’s contents. Exposure to air and light is minimized.

Avoid Direct Contact with Skin When Storing

Perfume can be affected by the oils and bacteria on your skin, which can alter its scent over time. When storing your perfume, avoid placing it directly against your skin. 

Rotate Your Perfumes

If you have multiple perfumes, rotating their use can help extend the life of each one. Using the same perfume daily can expose it to more air and light, causing it to degrade faster.

Keep Away from Heat Sources

Heat can accelerate the degradation of perfume, breaking down its components and altering its scent. To prevent this, store your perfume away from heat sources.
