Don’t Shake

Most are guilty of this, shaking their perfumes. It’s not a soft drink, don’t shake it. Shaking the bottle can expose the perfume to excess air, which your perfume wouldn’t appreciate.

Avoid shaking your perfume before applying, unless stated otherwise.

Low Height

Perfumes are scared of height (Kidding). What this is saying is that your perfume bottle should be kept on a low shelf.

A fragile bottle could easily shatter if placed on a high shelf which will ruin the whole thing. Always keep your perfume on the floor of a closet or on a lower shelf

On a final note,

Exposure to sunlight ruins your perfume’s structure. Store your perfume right by protecting it from light, heat and fluctuating temperature. The best condition to keep your perfume is dry and dark.

You can store your perfume in the bathroom if only you have a closet there. Make sure your perfumes have their lids on. And do not shake your perfume.

Cheers to a long lasting fragrance.
