How long does the perfume last in the bottle?
If properly stored, my perfume absolutes will last indefinitely. If kept properly closed, stored out of direct light and at normal room temperature, they will last as long as you like. It is a myth that perfume “turns bad” with time. Only those made with poor quality ingredients or unstable chemical formulations will deteriorate and smell bad as they age. Well made perfumes will change with time however – they grow richer with each passing year. I have smelled many perfectly stored classic perfumes made in the early to mid twentieth century and they are still perfectly beautiful and magical when their owners wear them.
