Protecting your fragrances from time and elements..let’s learn the best ways to store your perfumes
A perfume is not just a scent; it’s an investment in artistry, craftsmanship, and emotion. Just like fine wine or rare art, it needs the right environment to retain its character. Proper storage is essential to ensure that your fragrances smell as perfect as the day you bought them.
Keep them away from light
Light, especially direct sunlight, is one of the biggest enemies of perfume. Ultraviolet rays break down the fragrance molecules, altering both color and scent. Perfumers always store their creations in dark glass bottles or boxes, so keeping your perfumes in a closed cabinet or drawer is one of the simplest ways to protect them.
Mind the temperature
Extreme heat or cold can cause irreversible damage. The ideal storage temperature is between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid storing perfumes near radiators, in bathrooms with fluctuating temperatures, or inside cars where heat spikes are common.
Avoid air exposure
Oxygen slowly changes the chemistry of your perfume. Always keep the cap tightly closed, and avoid leaving bottles open for long periods. Even a few minutes can start the oxidation process, especially for delicate natural compositions like those in Solos Perfumes, which are crafted with precious raw materials.
Store upright
Perfume bottles should stand upright to prevent liquid from prolonged contact with the sprayer mechanism, which could degrade over time.
Travel with care
When traveling, store your fragrance in its original box or a padded case to protect it from light and sudden temperature changes.
Perfumer’s insider tip
Many niche perfumers recommend buying smaller bottles if you don’t use a fragrance frequently. This way, you’ll finish the perfume before it has time to deteriorate, preserving every note in its purest form.
A well-stored fragrance rewards you with a true-to-original scent every time you wear it. With a little care, your perfumes, especially high-quality ones like Solos Perfumes, will remain timeless companions.
