Why I don't store my perfumes in the bathroom!
LIGHT
For optimal results, your perfume should be stored upright, and kept in its original box. Exposure to light over a period of time will most definitely cause your fragrances to deteriorate.
You can choose to keep them either in their boxes or a dark cupboard or drawer. As beautiful as your bottles might look sitting atop a dresser or across a windowsill, light in all its forms (particularly direct sunlight) is public enemy number one!
FLUCTUATIONS IN TEMPERATURE
Take those perfumes out of the bathroom, STAT! Extreme fluctuations in temperature will rapidly spoil your scents, so bottles on bathroom counters or in bathroom cupboards are likely to spoil much faster than perfumes stored in other spaces.
Just think: Every time you or your family shower or run a hot bath, the temperature and humidity in the bathroom will increase and decrease enormously within a number of minutes. This fluctuation will destroy the molecular integrity of your perfumes and sour them swiftly.
Be mindful to avoid storing scents in other places that suffer from extreme changes in heat; another prime example being your car.
Some perfumes hold up a lot better than others so there are no absolute guarantees when it comes to storing your scents. This being said, if you follow these two simple rules, you will likely enjoy them for many, many years to come.
