Whether you've been loyal to the same fragrance for years or a fan of Mix & Match to vary your pleasures, we all want to keep our perfume as long as possible. When it comes to preserving a fragrance, preconceived ideas definitely die hard. While the world of perfume hasn't revealed all its secrets yet, we can already shed some light on the subject.
How long can you keep a perfume?
Perfume professionals all agree: a fragrance doesn't really have a date after which it can no longer be used. To guarantee a unique olfactory experience for perfume lovers, most perfume houses choose to include a best-before date on the packaging. Sometimes located under the bottle, this "best before" date is generally 30 months. For perfume addicts, don't worry, the bottle empties much more quickly...
In perfumery, there's no absolute rule. However, fragrances do have a limited lifespan. Rather than judging their shelf life by using a date, master perfumers recommend relying on their ingredients. Light, natural, and citrus notes tend to deteriorate more quickly, while woody, amber, and musky notes are less fragile.
How long does a perfume last? Trust your senses.
The first clue to knowing if your perfume is still intact is simply its smell. If you recognize the scents that made you fall in love with them from the first waft, there's no reason to part with them!
At Bon Parfumeur, we have chosen to clean fragrances with exemplary compositions: our Eau de parfum do not contain UV filters or colorants. Depending on the light and aging, the color of your perfume may vary significantly. Don't panic, this is completely normal and does not affect the quality of your bottle in any way!
How to keep a perfume for a long time?
To maintain the alchemy between you and your fragrance, we recommend keeping it away from light, humidity, and heat. While leaving your perfume in the bathroom may seem more practical for getting ready in the morning, it's not recommended: it may not be particularly fond of the humid atmosphere and temperature fluctuations. Don't worry about your juice collection: whether you want to display your bottle in the middle of the living room, in the bedroom, or take it everywhere with you, its scents will still be just as addictive!
