A perfume bottle should not be opened before use, and the lid should always be closed when not in use. If it is kept open for long, oxygen starts to seep into the bottle decreasing the effect and fragrance.
Store in a Dry and Dark Space
Most people keep their perfumes on the dressing table. This is a common mistake that causes your perfume to end quickly. Exposure to either light or water can dilute the perfume, resulting in less fragrance.
Temperature
It is necessary to keep the temperature around the perfume at room temperature. Some people like to store their perfumes in their fridges, but any perfume is best kept at room temperature.
Note the Change in Colour
If the colour of the perfume changes, it indicates spoilage. Therefore, if the colour has gotten substantially darker, do not use the perfume.
Travelling with Perfumes
Many often choose to only use one perfume, which is why they carry their perfumes everywhere. This is a common mistake as big bottles of perfume can often leak. Look for smaller bottles that can be stored safely when travelling.
