Perfume is an investment in yourself, and like any luxury item, it deserves proper care to maintain its quality and longevity. Whether you own a bottle from AL-NAADEE, following these tips will help you preserve your favorite fragrance and ensure it lasts longer on your skin and shelf.

1. STORE YOUR PERFUME IN A COOL, DARK PLACE

Heat, light, and humidity are the top three factors that can break down a fragrance over time. Store your perfumes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The bathroom, where temperature fluctuations occur, is not ideal. Instead, keep your bottles in their original boxes or a drawer in a cool room.
Tip: A bedroom drawer or closet shelf is a perfect place. Avoid areas near windows, radiators, or heat sources.

2. AVOID SHAKING THE BOTTLE

While it might be tempting to shake your perfume bottle, this can introduce air into the liquid, which accelerates the oxidation process. The scent will degrade much faster, especially in fragrances with natural oils.
Tip: If you need to mix the fragrance (e.g., for layered scents), gently swirl the bottle instead of shaking.

3. KEEP THE CAP ON

Leaving the cap off your perfume bottle exposes the fragrance to air, which can cause it to lose its potency. Always replace the cap securely after each use to preserve the scent and prevent evaporation.
Tip: If your bottle comes with a spray nozzle, use it as directed and avoid opening the bottle unnecessarily.

4. AVOID TEMPERATURE EXTREMES

Extreme temperatures, either hot or cold, can affect the chemical makeup of a perfume. Too much heat can make the fragrance smell too sweet or overpowering, while cold temperatures can make the scent weaker.
Tip: Keep your perfume at room temperature, ideally between 15–20°C (59–68°F).

5. APPLY PERFUME TO CLEAN, DRY SKIN

For the fragrance to last longer, apply it on clean, dry skin. Moisturized skin also holds fragrance better, so use an unscented lotion or body cream before spraying your perfume.
Tip: Spray on pulse points like the wrists, behind the ears, and the inside of your elbows for a longer-lasting scent. Avoid rubbing your wrists together after applying, as this can break down the scent molecules.

6. DON’T OVER-APPLY

More is not always better when it comes to perfume. Over-applying can overwhelm your senses and others around you. A few spritzes are all you need for a subtle and lasting effect.
Tip: Two to three spritzes, focusing on key areas like pulse points, are often enough.

7. AVOID PERFUME ON CLOTHES

Although it may seem like a good idea, applying perfume to clothing can stain fabrics and cause the fragrance to wear off faster. The oils in perfume can also leave marks or damage delicate fabrics.
Tip: Apply perfume directly to your skin, and if you wish to scent your clothes, spray it lightly from a distance.

8. DON’T STORE PERFUME IN THE FRIDGE

While some might think that refrigerating perfume will prolong its life, cold temperatures can actually alter the fragrance’s chemistry. Store your perfumes at a stable temperature instead.
Tip: Unless your perfume is extremely heat-sensitive, refrigeration is unnecessary.

9. ROTATE YOUR FRAGRANCE COLLECTION

If you have several fragrances in your collection, try rotating them. Using the same perfume every day can lead to the fragrance losing its appeal or wearing off too quickly. By switching scents, you'll keep your nose fresh and your perfumes from going stale.
Tip: Store your perfumes in a way that allows easy access so you can rotate and enjoy them regularly.
