One of the most frequent questions we receive from our customers is how to preserve perfumes, especially in the summer . Here are some guidelines that will help you maintain the fragrance and persistence of the perfume!
Each season has its own temperatures and peculiarities and our skin also changes its pH in certain periods. In particular in summer, heat and humidity are factors that play a fundamental role for perfumes. Our skin is also more exposed and altered by tanning and greater exposure to the sun's rays. Let's see together how to preserve perfumes in summer and what the guidelines are! How many times has it happened that by opening a bottle of perfume, its fragrance has then changed into something different? Sometimes even towards an unpleasant scent? Don't think it's the perfumer's fault, a perfumed composition , we have often reiterated, is living matter .
1. Cool and dry place, here's how to store a perfume
It is best to store the perfume in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct light. One solution could be to store it in the cardboard box in which it was packaged.
2. How to store a perfume? Do not expose it to humidity!
Humidity also alters olfactory notes, unbalancing the chemical bonds between volatile molecules. So avoid storing perfumes in the bathroom where humidity levels are higher. The steam from the shower or bathtub would compromise the fragrance of the perfume.
3. Bedroom and tightly closed cap to preserve a perfume!
It is preferable to store the perfume in the bedroom, protected from humidity. Another precaution to take is to keep the bottle cap tightly closed, to prevent the release of alcohol from changing the balance of the perfume's components. If it does not have a cap, like those of Montale , try to store them in a chest of drawers or cabinet that is never exposed to the sun.
4. How to store perfumes when traveling
If you travel we never recommend decanting the fragrance into small bottles, because this would alter the scent , but it is preferable to buy travel sizes . And above all never shake the perfume bottle!
