Understanding Perfume Shelf-Life Symbols
Cosmetic labels can use dates and symbols to communicate how long a product is expected to remain suitable.

THE OPEN-JAR SYMBOL
Where applicable, an open-jar icon shows a period after opening, often expressed in months. It is not a universal promise about all storage conditions.
DATES AND DIRECTIONS
Other products may carry a minimum-durability date or specific storage advice. Use the information on the exact product.
NOTICE THE PRODUCT
If a fragrance changes colour, texture or odour unexpectedly, do not assume it remains suitable merely because a date has not passed.
PURCHASE WITH CLARITY
Compare the complete product information before purchase and retain the order details. Good fragrance ownership begins with knowing what you have chosen. A careful choice is about suitability and enjoyment, not simply owning the largest bottle.
