Thats unlikely. It is probably just in your mind, or youve gotten so used to the scent. 13 year old bottle..the alcohol content likely has gone down significantly which would only make the fragrance stronger. Now if you were to say the scent doesnt smell the same thats a different story.

[@RIVERAEDGE]

@frankzajac3158 The human olfactory system is extremely complex, it's highly unlikely the fragrance is "weaker" it's just your perception changing. Our olfactory system is insanely influenced by many variables Also not to mention, maturation and maceration. There's a reason some people wait months or even a year to start using fragrance, they get stronger with age not weaker

[@bernardtalbert6729]

The majority of fragrances will last several years as long as you storing them to avoid heat. Several KZbin fragrance reviewers have hundreds to a thousand bottles going back as far as 10 years of collecting and they rarely report any going bad. But some do actually go bad or change color. It's definitely an issue to consider if you are purchasing old discontinued fragrances which are no longer available and often sold at heavily inflated prices. The most common sources of heat are your room temperature (e.g. HVAC setting, near fireplace/space heater), exposure to light (i.e. avoid direct sunlight) and humidity (i.e. avoid bathroom). Some people keep bottles stored in their original boxes. Some store them in a closet. Some keep them stored in a display case or bookshelf.

[@picantepollo6238]

Early on when I had 12 or less bottles I had made the mistake of having it in my bathroom for a year-year1/2 (where I shower in) before I moved them to a different room where it can’t be exposed to light. However and thankfully, I still use quite a few of those that were in the bathroom. Still get compliments when I do use them, longevity is the same, I can pick up the notes just fine! So can’t say in my experience the fluctuating humidity did much. A lot of them were bottles with open atomizers too (Spicebombs, Essentric Molecules, etc).

Wow- Great video and the timing is perfect . I have begun watching several mens fragrance videos but I feel this one is the most informative of the bunch . Watching a bombardment of daily 10 ten lists can be overwhelming and while collecting everything is just not practical I also see it may be much more practical to purchase 1.7 oz bottles rather than the 3.4 oz size or occasionally available larger size bottles especially if the game plan is to own a dozen or more great scents . There are only so many days in the year and impossible to use all of them . Perhaps this is why CurlyFragrance chooses 12-15 sprays when she goes out in the evening - she wants her moneys worth and realizes no scent lasts forever . This is the only video I have seen since I've begun fragrance channel viewing that has mentioned this topic -thank you .

Perfect topic for me right now: I haven't worn my Dior Sauvage EdP that I bought a few years ago for quite some time since I quickly learned how mainstream this scent is as soon as I got more deeply into the world of fragrances. I thought I'd give it a shot again, just out of curiosity because I haven't smelled it in such a long time and I was surprised by what my nose picked up. It smelled nothing like I remember, the top notes where completely gone and the whole scent just smelled like a bit of nothingness. Like I said, the bottle is probably about 4 years old now, 100ml about 2/3 gone and it stood on a shelf close to a window in a room that get's very warm in summer when the AC isn't running, the perfect combination to kill a perfume I guess...

I am happy you talk about this topic. I totally agree Most fragrances expire within 2 to 3 years. Thats Why i always buy 50ml bottles only. I cant remember one fragrance that didnt die after max 36 montags, perhaps davidoff zino did its job longer but thats it. Oxidation starts fast… In retail they exchange the Testers after few months because the more fresh the better… and I believe once oxygene did start you cannot enjoy the fragrance any more,

[@stevem.781]

All of this sounds very reasonable, except in my experience its simply not true. All of my fragrances, except for a few backup bottles, are out of their box and have been sprayed at least a few times. My house never gets too warm and I try to keep them out of direct light, but there's certainly light in the room in the day time. And yet I've never had a fragrance go bad. Some fragrances change with aeration and time, usually for the better. But none of my fragrances have "gone bad" or even changed very much on the top end compared to a brand new bottle or sample. I don't know the detailed chemistry as to why this is, all I can say its what I have experienced.

I have 20+ years old citrusy fragrance and they are still pretty good but they were store perfectly and not many air was in there, I agree that if you have just a small amount left you better finish it than keep them for special occasions only. Not a refrigerator maybe a portable automated wine cellar but they rarely allow the correct temperature of 10 to 12 celsius. Most unopened bottle, perfectly store, should last a least 10 years up to 20 years but the top notes might aged a bit. If it was cheap it might age badly as opposed to more high end aroma chemicals and natural ingredients might macerate to perfection.

[@finalandreo]

alcohol based fragrances are very hydrophilic, meaning they will not penetrate your skin nearly as well as something like an oil. As fragrances oxidize, The compounds produced can serve as irritants of the skin by making them more lipophilic and thus better able to penetrate the protective barrier if your skin. Oxidized compounds can also trigger histamine reactions as well, which can cause hives.

Speaking on the oxidation of the fragrance after a good portion is removed from the bottom. What if to remedy this situation? You use decants or a little portable sprayers. You fill them up completely full so there's less oxygen. I wonder if that would make it last onger .

I have a question, I’m a 25 year old woman but new to fragrances as I only recently started to learn more (growing up I was used to fragrance free everything because my mom is super sensitive to strong smells, especially perfumes). So based on what you’ve said in this video, would it be wise to aim for only buying travel size bottles if I don’t wear fragrance often (only on occasion)? Then it wouldn’t be as much of an issue financially if or when they eventually go bad. I also only wear maybe 1 or 2 sprays when I do use it. I’d say average 2 or 3 times a month. I also don’t hold much importance to seeing the full size bottle on a shelf or anything like that.

I have 4yr old Club de Nuit intense man edt and first formulation of Zino by Davidoff both are great and last long.

Would this work/help… if I’m close the end of the bottle can I put it in a smaller size decant so there isn’t much air in between?

Hmm... I have a little bottle of Animale I was given by my stepsister back when I was a teenager, and the bottle is dated 1998. It's not like a sealed spray bottle either, it's just got a lid that's a stopper. I haven't really used it much, just kept it for smelling so it's still full, and I always kept it inside a tin box. I guess that's why it still smells great.

The way you store your fragrances is going to have a lot of effect on how long they last. Storing a fragrance in a car or a bathroom is a sure fire way to shorten the shelf life. Too many extreme variations in temperature and humidity are not good. Your own nose is always going to be the best detector of whether your fragrance has expired. If you make it a point to wear a fragrance enough on a consistent basis at the beginning, you’ll know how its supposed to smell, the longevity and projection. When it’s gone bland, you’ll know it.

My dad has a Le male since 00s and it's way better than newer patches.

I stored my Dior Sauvage in my refrigerator for 6 months. Now it smells like bacon & eggs. I've never received more compliments.
