Avoid Direct Light : Store your perfumes in a dark place to protect them from the harmful effects of UV rays, which can change their chemical composition and fragrance.
-
Protect them from Heat and Humidity : Keep your perfumes in a cool and stable environment. The fridge may be an option, especially if you live in a warm climate, to preserve the integrity of essential oils.
-
Store Perfumes in their Original Box : Perfume packaging is designed to offer optimal protection against light and temperature variations. Use them to your advantage.
-
Keep the Bottle Upright : To prevent any leakage or corrosion of the perfume, it is best to store bottles upright and avoid shaking them.
-
Use your Perfume Regularly : Frequent use helps maintain the freshness of the fragrance. Remember that after opening, exposure to oxygen can slowly alter the quality of the fragrance.
Additional Points:
-
Beware of the Expiration Date : Although perfumes can often last well beyond the recommended period of 24 to 36 months after opening, be alert for any changes in color, consistency or odor that could indicate degradation.
-
Variations between Components : Perfumes containing a high concentration of natural essential oils may evolve differently over time. Some species may improve, while others may deteriorate more quickly.
-
Do Not Open Unnecessarily : If you do not intend to use a perfume right away, it is best to leave it sealed in its original packaging to maximize its shelf life.
By following these tips, you can not only extend the life of your perfumes but also benefit from their better olfactory quality for an enriching sensory experience with each use.
