Good one! I also never throw away the boxes. Aside from having pertinent information about the bottle (bottler, formula code, current owner), it protects clear bottles from light. I try to write the batch date, place of purchase, date of purchase and price on every box and am considering the creation of a database that can hold even more information.

Cool, dark, dry (so in a drawer or in your closet); no bathrooms ; keep them in their original bottle with their cap on ; you should keep them in their box too, this will give them another layer of darkness

I was virtually in tears when an almost full bottle of Coco Mademoiselle got spoiled after I had left it sitting on my dresser, exposed to the light. Then I began to collect fragrances and bought an armoir to store them in. It works like a charm, I had a Black Orchid by Tom Ford lasting me eight years, it smelled great to the last drop 😀

Just getting into perfume and I have a small collection of 6 and I’m so thankful for this video! I’m gonna store them on the higher shelf in my closet, with most in their boxes besides the ones I use regularly, thanks!

How is your collection doing almost 4 years later? And which is your favorite?

Thank you; I have been waiting for someone to make a video with this information. I never would have thought a bathroom would negatively effect a fragrance. I tend to keep mine in the original box to keep them out of the light.

One thing you didn't mention about discoloration is that fragrances with a lot of vanilla tend to discolor over time even if stored perfectly. This is happening to my Tihota and also to 2 bottles I have that feature vanilla as a prominent note. They have all been stored in a cool, dry, dark place so it's got to be the vanilla. I loved the idea of the wine fridge and may go that route for some of my older and more expensive pieces. Running out of room anyway!

i have the original dolce and gabana light blue and also i have burberry touch..ive recently appllied them on my skin after probably 10 years and they are still beast mode! they have been in really hot weather, really cold weather..direct sunlight for days, and cool temperatures etc and none of that seemed to matter.. i guess these new formulations need extra care

Great video Sebastian, and something I’ve wondered about for a while now.

Sebastin, best piece of advice. Thank you for sharing this.

"Cool, dark, dry; no bathrooms"

Nice video, as always! Here are some suggestions for a topics for future videos: Synthetics X naturals - what are the differences and effects in perfumes. What is too much? How to know you are using too much (or too little) of a fragrance? What kinds of perfume chemicals can cause a bad reaction in other people, like allergy or a headache? And what kinds of perfumes should we avoid to not cause discomfort in other people?

I just went to visit my sister, and she had a bottle of Lauren, by ralph lauren, from the 80's, and it still smells the same as it did originally, and I promise she has not been precious about it. One of my moms favorite perfumes was Joy, and I like to have a bottle of it to remind me of her, I need a new one but the one I had was a vintage bottle, and it never went off. I have had fragrances go off though, and I don't know why some have longevity and some crash and burn.

I have Hermes d'orange verte from 2010 . You're 110% right It's more like the concentrate and it last . I've gotten good compliments from wearing it. With my decants, I check the tightness of the bottle screw necks to the cap of the sprayers often Most all of my bottles are in zip locks and stored in their original boxes and placed inside of larger boxes, and placed in a cool room in a closet. Crazy, I know. I have samples that are still good from 2012. My bottle of Joop from the early 2000's did evaporate though. Don't know why, just did. It did it after I sprayed it a few tomes.

Thanks for the info Sebastian. Great memories came out when i saw the M7 bottle, it was a must in the earlier 200's, if i just new i would keep a bottle.

So true! I have had a decant of dior sauvage in a plastic bottle. When I sprayed it was so powdery the top not was completely gone!

I am ambivalent about storage. I keep my collection below 50 and display part and store part - mainly the vintage ones. When they are stored I forget them. Keeping a live collection is important to me because fragrance is for wearing. The bottles are beautiful.

Great video Sebastian! I got all my fragrances stored in my closet, some of them are in their original boxes still because their newer or I don’t get around to using them that often

thank u so much for this review. storing perfume in closets behind clothes makes sense..

Thanks Sebastian. The question and answer is a great idea! Regarding this topic... Is it mainly sunlight u need to protect your frags from or lights in your home as well? Thanks. - Colin

Very interesting video series idea & great info in this one! Well done, Sebastian! 👍

Loved the video.I just discovered you(!). Crazy busy work and scent hobby on a side. I keep them in an old refrigerator, do not care about display, scents are for me to smell and treasure and taste and immerse in and for me only to love.No to impress people....

Here in Australia it’s a challenge. It’s 100 degrees tomorrow and it’s only November. I thought a fridge might be too cold and humid. Hence why they have humidity drawers for veggies. Agree wine cooler great option.

My wife’s original bottle of her favorite perfume is so much darker but she’s had it for almost 10 yrs. I have a feeling it partially reformulation and going bad but she still wears the original bottle on special nights. Projection seems to be weaker but longevity is better than the new bottle.

Here in Colorado at 6,500 feet, the temperature fluctuations are not only seasonal. They can vary from 75 to -0 something in the space of 8 hours. It’s crazy. I am one of those who have resorted to a small dorm-room size fridge in my closet/dressing room. Backups go into the spare fridge in the garage. I decant into smaller bottles that are more convenient on my dresser. It has worked great. Nothing has turned and I’ve been doing this for decades. There’s some truly old juice like My Sin and Spanish Moss and many first generation favorites from the 80’s. All good and true. 👍🏼😁

I have mine in a bar refrigerator. No dust, no light and the temperature is perfect!

Mine are in a closet, long shelf so I can see what I have. Most are not in boxes, I tried that and found that I never pulled for the ones in boxes; they just seemed to get ignored. Exposure to light once a day when I select my SOTD. The only things I have had problems with are decants and an occasional perfume that has a high percentage of naturals.

Great ideas! I used to keep all my fragrances in their original boxes but I missed seeing the beauty of the bottles on display so I took them out. Now after this video I will put them back In their boxes. Good to keep them safe! A refrigerator?? Hmmmm. 💥

Some of my fragrance are from 2006 .. they’re all kept in a spare fridge, but the fridge is not plugged in .. all the fragrance smell 😍

I use to keep my summer-line in my refrigerator, and in the middle of the autumn i move them in the original boxes and somewhere next to the ground on a shelf (warm will always move to the top of any room). Also i keep the winter-setup in a wardrobe, behind a door of smoky-dark-glass. Around the year, constant temp in this room is around 20-22 degrees Celsius. This is the best setup i found till now. Great work with the channel Sebastian! Keep it up! +++

Great topic, Sebastian! I've seen this sporadically commented on on other channels but this is a more complete take on it.

I’ve stored my floral fragrances in the fridge. Oud oils I just toss around the house. They’re made for the climate. florals are in the original boxes and it’s been the best way to store them considering I live in the hot Middle Eastern climate

Hi, i keep all my fragrances in their original boxes (it's a MUST for me,😊😊), far from windows, in AC, and NOT in the bathroom (bathrooms are the WORST places to keep fragrances). All my fragrances are displayed on a furniture and in their boxes (wish i could show you 😊). Note: I have vintage fragrances that smell fantastic. Great video, thanks. 👍👌👍👌.

So what is okay humidity? I live in Hawaii where it’s 50-70%. So far I’ve never had a problem. How does humidity affect the fragrance in the bottle?

Can i put a silica gel for control humidity in the store box??? Or not??

Very nice video sir! But i am not sure about the refrigerator because i think that the temperature is not consistent.

Very good and interesting show. Thanks

Is it ok for me to put my cologne in a night stand drawer or a cabinet drawer ?

Thanks man

I live in the south of Turkey where we can get up to 32 degrees celsius of room temperature in the summer for 2 months. Is that a big problem if the temperature is consistent and the fragrances are stored in a dark place? Because I have around 150 mostly 100ml bottles and my refrigerator is not big enough. Have lots of niche so I dont wanna risk em go bad.

I live 1 degree north of the equator and it's 90+ F and humid (80+ percent) year round so I bought a fridge specifically for my fragrances. I keep it at the warmest setting 44 F and everything has been kept in perfect condition for years. If you live in a similar climate, I'd recommend a similar set up.

@@jrgulmatico funny that you should ask. A couple of years ago I was having my place remodeled so I stayed in a rental apartment while most fragrances stayed at my house in the fridge. I had brought Tuscan Leather, Guerlain Vetiver, Caron 3rd Man, Terre d'Hermes, Leau d'issey and Mugler Cologne. Also, during the 6 months I was traveling for work so the fragrances stored at the rental apartment were not subject to aircon except when I was back in town. Here's what happened. Tuscan Leather became very sickly sweet smelling and lost all mids and base notes. All sweet top notes that ended up smelling cheap. Guerlain Vetiver ended up smelling like stinky feet. Caron, I didn't notice any real difference. L'eau d'issey became sour smelling and lost all of the fresh citrus notes. Terre d'Hermes turned absolutely rank and the juice actually turned cloudy. Mugler Cologne didn't really change much. So I would say going with a wine fridge is probably in your best interest if you want to preserve your collection. Cheers!

Yuma Super Silver the combination of 33 c heat and 90% humidity may have ruined your frags. My storage humidity readings in the hygrometer plays between 55-70 without AC. Btw given that youve been using a cooler already. Will it be ok to store all my frags their, this kind of scenario will mean that i will always be opening it for my daily SOTD. Plan to set it at 18C (highest temp settings) if im to buy a wine cooler .

What do you do if you live in the tropics and humidity is unavoidable? Would appreciate if someone gave some tips. I store my perfumes in sealed boxes, tucked away with dehumidifying pouches. Not sure about a fridge. It is full of moisture, isn't it?

Nice video brother I can store perfumes in my cupboard

And to reinforce your view on decants, I had a decant of Angelique Noir go bad and I cried!

I keep my vintage fragrances (1980s, 90s & early 2000s) in a central closet inside a vintage Samsonite hard side vanity case. My only issue has occasionally been the sprayers. Old perfume dries there and then smells bad when sprayed after a long time of disuse. I take the sprayers off and soak them in 91% rubbing alcohol for about 10 minutes, clean them carefully and let them air dry before returning them to their bottles. I have not had to throw out any of my vintage fragrances after doing that.

@@ThePerfumeGuy is humidity good in wine cooler? And second question is if I will store in wine cooler set to 16 degrees C I have to spray cologne on me in the room in 26 degrees. Is it bad for them?

All fragrances and beauty products undergo light stability testing and usually the tests are excelerated to see how the formula changes when exposed to extremes of light and heat. It’s scientific but cannot take everything into account. As you said Sebastian dark and cool is best to maintain what you purchased. Batches can always vary but for the best brands and the professionals in-house quality reviews should make this undetectable to the consumer. Contrary to many fragcom rumours it does not mean the product was necessarily reformulated it just means variations in raw mats can cause slight differences especially where natural raw mats are concerned. Raw material suppliers change their sources all the time😀 and their prices 😩

I would love for you to do a fragrance layering video ...you layered Aventus /with Virgin Island Water....

Word of advice... If you put drawer slides in a wine cooler for glass shelves with rivets, put supporting framework behind the plastic casing! They won’t hold. Nothing broke, but chipped a few :(.

What if they're still in the package and haven't been used yet because I'm trying to separate my cologne collection from the one's that I wear casually and the ones that I wear when I go out ?

How does humidity effect the contents in an air tight bottle? Its not like wood which will shrink and expand due to capillaries in the fibers. I believe temperature will have an effect and direct sunlight. UV rays are bad for almost everything. Cause there ain’t no dry places for people to put their frags in Louisiana. Plus fridges create condensation. Which is moisture!!!!!!!!!

I totally agree with this!

Places with temps of high as 100 and as low as 60? LOL. Try 100 to 0-10 below zero! Wine coolers are safe to use, but regular refrigerators have too high fluctuations in both temps, but especially humidity...like the bathroom, based on all my research, so kitchen refrigerators are not a safe place to store fragrances long term. A cool dry dark closet or cabinet is the best place, and also to maintain a home temp within a 10-12 degree range (most common being between 65-78) depending on time of year. Great Video. Lots of useful info.

I've always kept them in the fridge, along with scented lotions.

I have Egoiste and Fahrenheit from early 2000 that I keep just on book shelves without boxes, in casual room temperature. Both of them still smell like 15 years ago. I think the things that can harm perfume: direct sunlight, humidity. So things like special boxes, or special temperature closets - waste of money.

Wine is much like perfume but dampness for red older wine helps to keep the cork moist which prolongs the life of the vintage. A dry cork will deteriorate and subsequently let in oxygen and then you are done 😀👍

Thank you for this! I have heard about the “dark, cool, dry” conditions for care of fragrances. I wanted your professional opinion; I notice in a lot of videos, you have fragrances in clear bottles exposed to the bright lights for the videos…how fast does light take to deteriorate fragrances? I’m aware you probably have many bottles of various frags and this issue is probably not a big concern of yours. But I am curious how fast does light truly effect fragrances, especially ones in clear bottles.
