Store perfume properly: How to keep your scent fresh for a long time

A perfume is more than just a scent—it's a small work of art in a bottle. To maintain its intensity and beauty, your favorite fragrance needs proper care. Here's how to optimally store your fragrances so they stay as fresh as the first day.

1. Avoid light and heat

Direct sunlight and high temperatures destroy delicate fragrance molecules. Store your bottles in a cool, dark place—preferably in a drawer or a closed cabinet.

2. Close the bottle carefully

Oxygen can alter the fragrance and shorten its shelf life. Therefore, be sure to close the bottle tightly after each use.

3. Always store fragrances upright

Perfume bottles should be stored vertically. This keeps the liquid stable and prevents it from entering the spray head, which could damage the mechanism.

4. No bathroom

Temperature and humidity fluctuate greatly in the bathroom—both are harmful to your perfume. It's best to store your fragrances in a dry room.

5. Avoid extreme cold

While it may sound tempting, storing perfume in the refrigerator isn't a good idea. The humidity can impair the fragrance's composition.

Conclusion

With proper storage, your favorite fragrance will stay fresh, intense, and unchanged for longer – just as the perfumer intended.
