Please do not "save or hoard" your favourite fragrances for wearing on the
"High Days & Holidays" of life...
they have been created to be worn daily and for you to enjoy!
How do you know if your fragrance is
"Past its Best" ?
"Past its Best" ?
The smell is the key indicator...so ask yourself the following:
Does it smell good or is it starting to smell different?
The intensity of a fragrance will fade gradually with age but if it's smelling unpleasant or sour then its "Past its Best"

Has the colour of the fragrance changed?
Some fragrances will start to turn darker or even fade in colour as they age.
Citrus, fresher fragrances don't generally tend to last as long as their more Spicy, Oriental counterparts.
If yours is a very dark brown or transparent in colour? then its most probably
"Past it's Best"
Has the fragrance thickened? If it has, then its
"Past it's Best"

The quality of a spray format does tend to last better than open bottles e.g. Perfumes or a
Splash On, as they are less open to contamination.

Fragrance does not last forever....as much as we would love them to, they just don't!
A good branded fragrance made with quality ingredients will have an approximate 2-5 year shelf life.
The problem is that consumers have no idea how long the product has been on the retailers shelf for, as fragrances are not required to have a manufacture date on the packaging or the product, so ensure that you buy from a retailer that has a good turn over of stock.
If you are not a daily user of "smellies" then consider buying the smaller sizes, like the 30mls of 50mls rather than the more economical 100ml sizes.
So if you have several bottles of "age unknown" fragrances then start using them and
"Who Knows" there could be many memories just waiting to be created!
