1. Don't leave your perfume in the sun or near a window. If you live in a humid, frigid or ocean climate...unfortunately your perfumes will be slightly affected.
2. Do not put your perfume in places where they can sweat and grow bacteria like a bathroom/hot shower area.
3. Extreme light (Artificial or sun) is bad because it changes the composition, balance and color.
4. A darker color bottle keeps the top, bottom and middle aroma notes longer. A clear bottle gets manipulated by light too often.Surprisingly the best way to store perfume is with the cap on as tight as possible and in the original box. Unfortunately we buy perfume so we can look at the pretty bottle on our vanity... but experts say keeping it in its dark box is best.
5. Dont let the perfume sit for more than a month without touching it. Give your perfume bottle a little small movement shake very once in a while. You do not want the product to settle on the bottom or separate from being stationary.
6. Room temperature is the best temperature quality.
7. Expensive perfumes will last a lot longer than a drugstore brand. The essential oils, minerals and quality of ingredients will stay longer than cheaper oil/water based scents.
8. Watch out for solid perfumes. The solid perfume is normally in a tin, therefore it stays cool but sticking bacteria fingers in the solid perfume harbors germs you don't want on your body! Throw solid perfumes away every 2-3 years.
9. If you have a low temperature chilling mini fridge, stick some of your low end perfumes in there to keep the freshness. Make sure the perfume is far from an odorous food and the coldest part of the fridge.
10. You want to prevent evaporation so keep the bottle tops sealed vacuum tight.
