Should perfumes be stored in the fridge?
7 years ago
Many times in the souk I read 'always kept/stored cold', or in German, 'kühl gelagert'.
There are some misunderstandings about keeping your perfumes in the fridge. I've been reading a lot about how to store them and there are some important do's and don'ts, written by the Fragrance Foundation. After all, it is a premier resource for expert fragrance information. Here is what they have to say:
"It's important that you keep your fragrance protected against extreme cold or heat. Only colognes and toilet waters should be stored in the refrigerator. Perfumes should not be exposed to extreme cold or heat because either may upset their delicate balance. Notes can be affected by extreme temperatures."
So, if not the fridge, where should you store your fragrances?
Do store fragrances in cool, dry spaces away from sunlight:
- Cupboards
- Dresser drawers
- Dark closets
Don't store fragrances in:
- Bathrooms (generally moist and warm)
- Windowsills
- Direct sunlight
