How do I store and care for my fragrance collection?
Fragrance collecting is a truly luxurious hobby. A deliciously heady and deep pleasure if you’re a fragrance lover. But like anything of value, it’s important to look after them to ensure they remain their best. Here, we reveal the essential tips for storing and caring for your fragrance collection.
First, we have temperature. Fragrances don’t do well with extreme changes in temperature and will degrade over time if exposed to heat or direct sunlight. The best place to store them is in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. That means no windowsills or display shelves near a window!
Next, where you place them within the room matters too. It’s best to keep them away from high-temperature areas like radiators or stoves. Also avoid any place where fragrance risk coming into contact with other volatile liquids like cleaning detergents and perfumes. A cupboard or drawer should work perfectly fine.
Also note that humidity is an enemy of fragrances. It’s best to keep them away from high-humidity areas like the bathroom or anyplace with a lot of moisture. The warmer the region and the average summer temperature, the worse humidity will be. So if you live in a hotter climate, you may want to seriously consider where you store your fragrances.
But you don’t have to fret too much! Ventilation also plays an important role in caring for fragrances. It makes sure that gases and vapours don’t build up and that the area where your fragrances are stored isn’t too stuffy. To ensure you get enough ventilation, you can make use of dehumidifiers or humidifiers if necessary.
The last key element of fragrance care is protection. This one is all about looking after your bottle. Fragrance bottles are breakable and therefore prone to damage! It doesn’t take much for something to happen and so make sure you store them on something stable, either using a tray or a box to keep them safe.
Oh wait – one more thing! If by some chance one of your fragrances should leak, don’t panic! Carefully remove the top of the bottle and place it upside down on a clean rag or a piece of paper. This should prevent the fragrance from leaking out of the bottle.
And there we go! You now know the essential tips for storing and caring for your precious fragrance collection. Know that your scented friends are in safe hands, and you can now enjoy their lasting bliss and beauty. Oh, and don’t forget to take a deep, luxurious sniff every now and then – it’s good for the soul!
