Perfume Storage And Spoilage Tips
Perfumes and colognes are fast becoming a regular part of the designer wardrobe. Like the clothes that their manufacturers produce, they are expensive and come in many varieties. It is not uncommon for people to own multiple fragrances at one time, perhaps each being used for a separate occasion. A common question among discount perfume lovers is how to know when perfume goes bad and what can be done to stop it. The first indication a perfume is going bad usually comes from the individual’s personal sense of smell and how they think that their perfume should smell like. All perfumes smell slightly different to different noses and off of different skins, as the aroma mixes with natural human oils. It is also natural for the scent of a perfume to lose its effect, or change entirely, over time with an individual’s palate. If you are not quite sure whether a perfume has gone bad or you’re just getting tired of the smell, here are some ways to check your perfume out.
The first thing you can check is the color of the actual liquid that is inside the bottle. Check every now and then to see if the color of the liquid is turning darker. Generally, darker coloration to a perfume means that it is going south. Extreme heat and direct sunlight oxidizes the perfume. This causes the water and alcohol to evaporate and the oil to become unstable. Another signal that this is happening is a sharp change in the aroma. If the color is turning only slightly, the life of the perfume still can be extended: don’t throw it away yet. But if the odor becomes sour or has a vinegar smell, its time to dispose of it and move on to something new.
When perfume is stored and handled properly and is not a cheap cologne or perfume,it will last a very long time. Store your perfume at room temperature. If you are not sure about the temperature in your house or apartment, cooler is better than warmer. Liquids expand and contract with temperature changes, so avoid irregular shifts in temperature. You should always keep your perfume away from direct sunlight; store the perfume in a dark area of your bathroom. Medicine cabinets are perfect. There is a reason, other than aesthetics, that designer boxes are becoming more and more ornate. Keeping the perfume in its box or covered with a cloth will also extend the life. However, if you are a heavy user of the perfume and you turn it over quickly, it will last long enough outside the box, provided it is left away from direct sunlight. If you avoid extreme heat and direct sunlight the perfume should last a long time and continue to serve its purpose.
One of the biggest things to remember if you are a frequent perfume user is not to leave the fragrance in you car. Not only will this cause it go bad quickly, but it can even explode from the heat. The smell will get all over your car and you will end up hating the smell of your favorite fragrance. This also goes for purses and bags, as well. Follow these simple rules and you should be able to enjoy your fragrances for years to come.
