Rookie Perfume Question

5 replies

paulinespeaksmanylanguages · 01/01/2020 10:36

How long does an opened bottle of eau de parfum last if it is kept in its original box-on display but away from direct sunlight?

I have been given three bottles of perfume and would like to have them all 'on the go' but should I wait until one bottle has finished before opening another?

I keep mine in a drawer inside their boxes and they're still good, years on. I can't smell a difference, but maybe there is one...I don't care though!

Keep them out of sunlight, and don't keep them in a humid environment like a bathroom.

Perfumes should keep for years, stored correctly (in their boxes and/or in the dark in a drawer or wardrobe).

You can definitely have 3 (or many, many more) perfumes on the go.

I've got vintage perfumes from the 60s that are still decent.

I've got perfumes from the early 00s that are still fine.
