How do you store your perfume?

I keep my perfume bottles in a drawer, which feels very disorganised (pic attached). I'd like to display them nicely on my dressing table, but have no idea how to! Please share you ideas/photos for inspiration. Thanks.

I have a floating shelf plus an ikea kallax Blush

I think if you store the bottles in strong day light it is harmful to the contents. I think it disrupts certain elements which give perfume its lovely aroma?

Others who know better than me will be along soon.

I keep mine in its original box, in the dark.

I have a little drinks bar, but I call it my perfume bar. I love it! 🥰

In a drawer because leaving them out in the light isn't good for them. A cool, dark place is best.

My Aladdin’s cave which is admittedly quite dusty at the moment and needs a tidy up. It’s inside a cupboard because I worry about sun exposure.

I thought I was bad with one drawer full!

I only own 3 perfumes, so they are in my dressing table drawer. I keep them in their boxes though.

I used to store perfumes on top of a chest of drawers and on a floating shelf - I love the iconic bottles of Guerlain Legendaires inverted heart, Shalimar's Baccarat, the original Vol de Nuit Deco square design, the black eighties of Paloma Picasso etc. Then a large bottle of Chanel No 5 that my partner bought me and had engraved lost obvious colour and scent from the exposure to light. I didn't want them all hidden away, but didn't want that to happen again so I bought a glass fronted drawer for my IKEA Pax and now store them in there. The glass front is at something of an angle from the window in the room so it's not exposed to direct sunlight, but I can still see the bottles. So far they seem to be preserving well, and I still get the joy of looking at them.

Show us your collection 😀

I keep mine in a vintage vanity case on top of my wardrobe as it keeps them away from light.
If you want them on display what about something like this to keep them organised and the dust off? There are loads of storage options if you google cosmetic storage.
I love the perfume bar upthread 😃

I have a 3-tier white wooden shelf with a drawer at the bottom, under the shelves. I have them in their boxes on the shelf and those without boxes in the drawer. I can't really find anything similar online as it's 10 years old but I got it from TK Maxx who have some gems.

I store mine on a picture ledge. I keep them all in their boxes. I don’t have loads, only 9.
