What's the best way to store my fragrances?
Even though almost all fragrances contain UV protectors and stabilizers, it's important to safeguard them from sunlight and dramatic temperature changes, says master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. Because citrus and vetiver fragrances are more sensitive, they typically have a shorter shelf life than orientals or vanilla scents, so it's wise to buy them in smaller bottles unless you use them every day.
