So this was my perfume storage about a month ago...
...Pretty right?! Well it was while watching one of Lollipop26's videos that i learned keeping your perfumes out in the open, where they could be exposed to sunlight, can actually be damaging to your favorite scents.
Sunlight, air, & heat speeds up the deterioration of perfumes, so as tempting as it may be to want to keep the pretty little bottles of perfume on display, you may want to think twice before doing so :)
I keep my perfumes in the top drawer of this unit.
This is now how i store my perfumes (with the drawer closed of course ;). This keep them out of the sunlight & exposed air, so they'll be sure to last longer!
A dark drawer like this isn't completely necessary, as long as they're out of direct sunlight. But since i consider my fragrances to be investments, as well as something quite special to me, i like to keep them safe & try to preserve them for as long as possible!
Sure this storage technique isn't the prettiest and it's quite a shame to not be able to display the gorgeous bottles, but it's worth it to increase the longevity of your favorite scents! :)
Hope i helped ladies! ♥
