What causes perfume quality to deteriorate?

The main factors that can cause perfume to deteriorate are:

Effects of high temperatures

The alcohol and fragrance ingredients in perfumes are easily altered by high temperatures. In particular, in environments above 30°C, the fragrance ingredients break down and the scent may become different from the original scent.

Deterioration due to ultraviolet rays

Direct sunlight and strong lighting can break down fragrance ingredients and change color and scent. Perfumes that contain a lot of natural fragrances tend to be particularly susceptible to the effects of ultraviolet rays.

Humidity effects

High humidity can cause moisture to seep into the perfume bottle, changing the quality of the scent. Extreme dryness can also accelerate the evaporation of fragrance.

Oxidation by air

Once opened, perfume will gradually oxidize when exposed to air. This oxidation will change the scent and may eventually make the bottle unusable.

How to choose a storage location

Ideal storage location

1. In a closet or drawer
   • Small temperature changes and no direct sunlight
   • Easy to maintain moderate humidity
2. Bedroom dresser
   • Suitable for frequent use
   • Less susceptible to sunlight
3. Cool and dark place
   • Basements and underfloor storage
   • Constant temperature and dark environment

Places to avoid

• Bathroom : Hot and humid with rapid temperature changes
• Window : Exposed to direct sunlight and temperature changes
• Inside the car : extreme temperature changes occur
• Kitchen : Temperature and humidity change drastically due to cooking

Temperature and humidity control

Optimal Storage Temperature

The optimum temperature for storing perfume is 15-20°C . At this temperature, the fragrance ingredients are stable and the quality can be maintained for a long period of time.

Storage in the refrigerator

Some perfume lovers recommend storing your perfume in the refrigerator, but there are a few things to keep in mind:

merit

• Constant and low temperature
• Not affected by light

Disadvantages

• Large temperature changes during use
• Risk of moisture contamination due to condensation
• Food odors may transfer

humidity control

The ideal humidity level is 50-60% . Placing a dehumidifier or humidity adjuster in the storage area can help maintain the appropriate humidity level.

Effects of light and countermeasures

Effects of UV rays

UV light breaks down fragrance molecules, causing the following changes:

• Changes in scent
• Liquid color change
• Precipitation

Countermeasures

1. Store in dark
   • Store in a dark place
   • Room with blackout curtains
2. Stored in original box
   • The box it comes in has a light-blocking effect.
   • Protected from impacts
3. Dedicated storage box
   • Highly light-blocking material
   • Suppresses temperature changes

Correct storage containers and methods

Handling perfume bottles

When handling perfume bottles, pay special attention to the following points:

• Keep the cap tight to prevent air from entering
• Store bottles upright : prevent leakage
• Avoid vibration : This prevents the fragrance ingredients from separating.

Storage in atomizer

If you are using an atomizer for on-the-go use:

• Divide into portions as needed
• Wash regularly to keep clean
• Keep away from direct sunlight.

Expiration date and how to tell

General expiration date

• Unopened : 3-5 years
• After opening : 1-2 years

Signs of deterioration

Discontinue use if you notice any of the following changes:

1. Changes in scent
   • Smells sour
   • A different scent than usual
   • Strong alcohol smell
