Good one! I also never throw away the boxes. Aside from having pertinent information about the bottle (bottler, formula code, current owner), it protects clear bottles from light. I try to write the batch date, place of purchase, date of purchase and price on every box and am considering the creation of a database that can hold even more information.

I was virtually in tears when an almost full bottle of Coco Mademoiselle got spoiled after I had left it sitting on my dresser, exposed to the light. Then I began to collect fragrances and bought an armoir to store them in. It works like a charm, I had a Black Orchid by Tom Ford lasting me eight years, it smelled great to the last drop 😀

One thing you didn't mention about discoloration is that fragrances with a lot of vanilla tend to discolor over time even if stored perfectly. This is happening to my Tihota and also to 2 bottles I have that feature vanilla as a prominent note. They have all been stored in a cool, dry, dark place so it's got to be the vanilla. I loved the idea of the wine fridge and may go that route for some of my older and more expensive pieces. Running out of room anyway!

Here in Colorado at 6,500 feet, the temperature fluctuations are not only seasonal. They can vary from 75 to -0 something in the space of 8 hours. It’s crazy. I am one of those who have resorted to a small dorm-room size fridge in my closet/dressing room. Backups go into the spare fridge in the garage. I decant into smaller bottles that are more convenient on my dresser. It has worked great. Nothing has turned and I’ve been doing this for decades. There’s some truly old juice like My Sin and Spanish Moss and many first generation favorites from the 80’s. All good and true. 👍🏼😁

I just went to visit my sister, and she had a bottle of Lauren, by ralph lauren, from the 80's, and it still smells the same as it did originally, and I promise she has not been precious about it. One of my moms favorite perfumes was Joy, and I like to have a bottle of it to remind me of her, I need a new one but the one I had was a vintage bottle, and it never went off. I have had fragrances go off though, and I don't know why some have longevity and some crash and burn.

I have Hermes d'orange verte from 2010 . You're 110% right It's more like the concentrate and it last . I've gotten good compliments from wearing it. With my decants, I check the tightness of the bottle screw necks to the cap of the sprayers often Most all of my bottles are in zip locks and stored in their original boxes and placed inside of larger boxes, and placed in a cool room in a closet. Crazy, I know. I have samples that are still good from 2012. My bottle of Joop from the early 2000's did evaporate though. Don't know why, just did. It did it after I sprayed it a few tomes.

My wife’s original bottle of her favorite perfume is so much darker but she’s had it for almost 10 yrs. I have a feeling it partially reformulation and going bad but she still wears the original bottle on special nights. Projection seems to be weaker but longevity is better than the new bottle.

I live 1 degree north of the equator and it's 90+ F and humid (80+ percent) year round so I bought a fridge specifically for my fragrances.

@@jrgulmatico funny that you should ask. A couple of years ago I was having my place remodeled so I stayed in a rental apartment while most fragrances stayed at my house in the fridge. I had brought Tuscan Leather, Guerlain Vetiver, Caron 3rd Man, Terre d'Hermes, Leau d'issey and Mugler Cologne. Also, during the 6 months I was traveling for work so the fragrances stored at the rental apartment were not subject to aircon except when I was back in town. Here's what happened. Tuscan Leather became very sickly sweet smelling and lost all mids and base notes. All sweet top notes that ended up smelling cheap. Guerlain Vetiver ended up smelling like stinky feet. Caron, I didn't notice any real difference. L'eau d'issey became sour smelling and lost all of the fresh citrus notes. Terre d'Hermes turned absolutely rank and the juice actually turned cloudy. Mugler Cologne didn't really change much. So I would say going with a wine fridge is probably in your best interest if you want to preserve your collection. Cheers!

Yuma Super Silver the combination of 33 c heat and 90% humidity may have ruined your frags. My storage humidity readings in the hygrometer plays between 55-70 without AC. Btw given that youve been using a cooler already. Will it be ok to store all my frags their, this kind of scenario will mean that i will always be opening it for my daily SOTD. Plan to set it at 18C (highest temp settings) if im to buy a wine cooler .

I keep my vintage fragrances (1980s, 90s & early 2000s) in a central closet inside a vintage Samsonite hard side vanity case. My only issue has occasionally been the sprayers. Old perfume dries there and then smells bad when sprayed after a long time of disuse. I take the sprayers off and soak them in 91% rubbing alcohol for about 10 minutes, clean them carefully and let them air dry before returning them to their bottles. I have not had to throw out any of my vintage fragrances after doing that.

Thank you for this! I have heard about the “dark, cool, dry” conditions for care of fragrances. I wanted your professional opinion; I notice in a lot of videos, you have fragrances in clear bottles exposed to the bright lights for the videos…how fast does light take to deteriorate fragrances? I’m aware you probably have many bottles of various frags and this issue is probably not a big concern of yours. But I am curious how fast does light truly effect fragrances, especially ones in clear bottles.

How does humidity effect the contents in an air tight bottle? Its not like wood which will shrink and expand due to capillaries in the fibers. I believe temperature will have an effect and direct sunlight. UV rays are bad for almost everything. Cause there ain’t no dry places for people to put their frags in Louisiana. Plus fridges create condensation. Which is moisture!!!!!!!!!

Places with temps of high as 100 and as low as 60? LOL. Try 100 to 0-10 below zero! Wine coolers are safe to use, but regular refrigerators have too high fluctuations in both temps, but especially humidity...like the bathroom, based on all my research, so kitchen refrigerators are not a safe place to store fragrances long term. A cool dry dark closet or cabinet is the best place, and also to maintain a home temp within a 10-12 degree range (most common being between 65-78) depending on time of year. Great Video. Lots of useful info.

So does ANY light exposure able to ruin a fragrance over time? not just sunlight?

Valzalel I believe just direct sunlight. The UV rays are way stronger and can have an effect on the molecules. Now if it close to a non LED light, then your issue is heat. High heat will affect the molecules as well.

All fragrances and beauty products undergo light stability testing and usually the tests are excelerated to see how the formula changes when exposed to extremes of light and heat. It’s scientific but cannot take everything into account. As you said Sebastian dark and cool is best to maintain what you purchased. Batches can always vary but for the best brands and the professionals in-house quality reviews should make this undetectable to the consumer. Contrary to many fragcom rumours it does not mean the product was necessarily reformulated it just means variations in raw mats can cause slight differences especially where natural raw mats are concerned. Raw material suppliers change their sources all the time😀 and their prices 😩

How does humidity penetrate a tightly plugged glass bottle?
@jaymartinson3236
@jaymartinson3236 Жыл бұрын
It doesn't if the bottle is made correctly. If the fragrance isn't evaporating out, then humidity isn't getting in, either. I think the humidity warning must be to prevent corrosion or damage to the bottles themselves. Some bottles have metal crimped caps that could potentially corrode.

Word of advice... If you put drawer slides in a wine cooler for glass shelves with rivets, put supporting framework behind the plastic casing! They won’t hold. Nothing broke, but chipped a few :(.

Question: is it better to store perfumes in a dresser drawer in a room ranging between 68 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit, or is it better to keep them in my basement, which can get really cold (down to 40 degrees, especially getting into the winter months?

Great video 👍 I always keep my fragrances collection stored in their original boxes in a dresser that is dry and dark and with temperature 21 to 21.5 celsius but the temperature sometimes for some hours or for a day goes up to 22.5 or 23 celsius and goes down again to 21 or 21.5 Could this one to two degrees changes affect my fragrances in the short or the long run? Thank you! 🍀🌱

The fragrances don’t know which room it is in. Its all about the conditions. I measure humidity and temperature in the closet at the bathroom, and its no problem as long as the closet is closed. To enjoy the hobby I must keep the fragrances at a place where they are available. Its important for me. I do not have hot temperature in the bathroom and as I said, as long as you measure and make sure that the condition in the closet are good, its not a problem keeping them at the bathroom. I have fragrances being in the bathroom closet 10 years and they are still in great condition. Even citruses.

@@bluntzilla420 I have a big bathroom with no door separation to my master bedroom. Furthermore, the shower is in it's own enclosed stall at least 10 ft. away from any fragrances. There is no temperature or humidity difference compared to the adjoining master bedroom. To not consider those factors is silly.
