How to Store Perfume to Preserve Its Quality

A high-quality fragrance is an investment — and like any investment, it deserves proper care. Improper storage can degrade a perfume’s composition, changing how it smells and reducing its longevity. Here’s how to keep your bottles pristine.

Keep It Cool and Dark

Heat and light are perfume’s enemies. Avoid windowsills, open shelves in bright bathrooms, or anywhere exposed to sunlight. Instead, store in a drawer, cabinet, or the original box.

Avoid Humidity

Bathrooms may seem convenient, but humidity can warp the formula. Opt for a bedroom vanity or closet shelf instead.

Always Close the Cap

Oxygen breaks down the fragrance over time. Keep the cap tightly sealed to slow oxidation and preserve the integrity of the scent.

Stand Upright

Keep bottles standing upright to avoid leakage and reduce the risk of disturbing the internal balance of oils and alcohol.

Travel Smart

Use travel atomizers for on-the-go application, and never expose your fragrance to extreme temperature swings — like leaving it in a car on a hot day.

Shelf Life

Fragrances don’t last forever. When stored properly, a perfume can retain its character for several years. You’ll know it’s turned if the color changes dramatically or it develops a sour edge.
