A cool, dry cabinet away from direct sunlight is generally preferable to a hot windowsill or steamy bathroom.

Keep the cap securely closed. Follow any product-specific storage or shelf-life guidance and stop using a product if its appearance or smell changes unexpectedly.

Take your time with fragrance discovery. The best choice is the one that remains comfortable and appealing after the first impression.

Product labels and current product details should always take priority over general fragrance advice.
