Scent lover shares bottle trick to make your perfumes smell stronger for longer

Knowing where to store your perfume is really important as it doesn't come cheap, and you don't want to have to replace it more often than absolutely necessary.

If you're currently storing your collection in the bathroom, then it's bad news for you, as one scent lover has claimed you're making a big mistake as this shouldn't be where perfumes are placed.

Emilia, who posts on TikTok as @professorperfume, has shared that you may want to relocate your perfumes to a "cool, dry, dark place" such as a "closet, or a dresser drawer" so there's no way steam from the shower, or sunlight, is going to damage them.

Not only will her advice save you money, but it will also save your perfume from going off ridiculously quickly, preserving your favourites for longer.

Emilia claimed: "If you keep your perfume in the bathroom when you shower, all of the steam and constant temperature fluctuations are going to spoil your perfume a lot faster than if you store them correctly.

"Now, if you are thinking okay I'll take them out of my bathroom and I'll put them on my dresser or my windowsill, don't do that either.

"Store your fragrance in a cool, dry, dark place. I always recommend your closet or a dresser drawer. Some people keep them in the fridge. You don't have to go that far, but when you store them correctly they will last you for years and years."

The onscreen caption read: "Say it with me: hide them away to make them stay."

A shocked viewer commented: "WOAH did not know this. So Eau de toilette does not go near the toilette!!!"

"But they look so pretty on display", someone complained.

"Facts. I still have fragrance from high school that’s still going strong", another praised.

"...the walk of shame I just did to my bathroom. Into the hall closet they go", a TikToker admitted.
