Storing perfume correctly is essential to preserving its strength, scent profile and overall quality. Even the finest fragrances can lose their potency if exposed to the wrong conditions, which, after you’ve spent your hard-earned money and time selecting a scent, is the last thing you want. We want to help you understand how perfume reacts to its environment to help ensure every spray smells just as we intended, months or even years after purchase.
One of the most important factors in perfume storage is temperature. Heat causes fragrance molecules to break down, which is great when they’re on your skin and developing beautifully, but not so much in the bottle, where it can weaken the scent and alter its composition. Perfume should be stored in a cool, stable environment where the scent can remain intact.
Light exposure is another major factor. Sunlight, as well as potentially heating up your perfume, can degrade the molecules from the UV rays. Keeping bottles in their original packaging or in a drawer, cupboard or, if you want to keep it cute, on a vanity shelf away from a window. This will help protect them from light and extend their lifespan.
Humidity is one factor people forget about since keeping your fragrance in the bathroom is just so convenient. In theory anyway, the reality is that steam and moisture can interfere with the integrity of the scent. Keep your perfumes in dry areas, keeping the balance of the oils maintained and the scent true.
Finally, keep the bottle sealed properly; this is essential. Exposure to air can dull a perfume’s aroma. Always ensure the cap is properly fastened after every use to keep it just as fragrant the next spritz.
