Fragrances are delicate works of art, and like any fine creation, they need proper care. If you’ve ever noticed your favorite perfume changing in color or scent, chances are it’s due to poor storage.
Heat, light, and air are the enemies of perfume. To keep your scents fresh and long-lasting, store them in a cool, dark place. A bedroom drawer, closed cabinet, or dedicated fragrance box is perfect. Avoid placing bottles on windowsills or near heat sources, as sunlight and temperature fluctuations can break down the scent molecules.
Humidity is another factor. Many people keep their perfumes in the bathroom, but that’s a big no-no. The steam and moisture can cause your perfume to degrade faster. Instead, keep your bottles dry and away from frequent temperature shifts.
Also, keep the cap tightly closed when not in use. Oxygen exposure can oxidize the fragrance, dulling its complexity over time.
Want your favorite perfume to last for years? Handle it with care—because a beautifully preserved fragrance is always worth it.
