Where do you keep your wardrobe?

[lunoar]

Hi

I've been keeping my bottles on a shelf in my bathroom but read recently that high humidity might harm the quality and longevity of the scents.
As i've paid a lot of money for these bottles i want them to smell as good as when i first bought them.
So BN'rs where do you keep yours? Bedroom? In their original boxes? In a draw/cabinet? Bathroom etc...

Any advice on whether the humidity issue is a problem also welcome.

I keep mine in a dark cupboard.

It'll be interesting to see the responses to this as I'm a bit worried about the summer. Hope my bottles don't get wrecked, I'll be gutted!

In dark, cool, dry, but not refrigerated, closed spaces.

In my wardrobe...


dark and cool (relatively)

[DocmanCC]

On my dresser in the bedroom. It's a fairly dark room facing north so there is little sunlight and the temperature is stable.

About the bathroom: I wouldn't worry about humidity as much as fluctuating temperatures. The perfume is in a closed glass bottle so the occasional 100% humidity is unlikely to interact with the perfume. Bright lights and frequent temperature changes, however, are big problems.

Mine stay in their boxes closed up in a cabinet. I've had very little problem with fragrances going bad.

[bokaba]

The ones I use regularly stay on my dresser and those less often in containers in a closet.

Exactly. I do not throw away the boxes - and I see no reason to "display" them.

I keep mine out of the box (box kept in storage). I do this because I find something about the bottles shape and design rather beautiful, and I'd prefer to see it sparkling away than all boxed up.

I'm the same as Ken. My full bottles are in my dressing room cabinet (away from the humidity of the actual bathroom. The samples and decants I keep in by dresser drawer. I'd love to leave them out to look at, but I figure it's best to keep them out of the light as much as possible. For me it's more about the fragrance than the bottle or showing off the collection.

[Craig]

Always in my wardrobe, back in their own boxes. I never keep anything out, not even samples.

[ausamamira]

a dedicated shelf in my wardrobe...

[reine]

My perfumes are kept in their boxes on several shelves in a dark, air conditioned walk-in closet. Even so, I have had some 'turn' from time to time - but rarely.

[daniducati]

In my wardrobe, dark and relatively small changes in temperature. The boxes are stored separately.

[JMang]

I keep them in a drawer, away from my windows.

The oils in the bottles react badly to light and to extreme temperatures; so you want to keep them slightly under room temperature: cupboards, drawers, or closets

[actiasluna]

I have a linen closet that is in a dark, dry, cool hallway... that's where I keep mine.

[TheSeoulMan]

On a bookshelf in a room in my basement. The room is always cool, even during the middle of summer. I go down there when I don't want to crank up the AC.

[Le Grand Duc]

I see no reason to "display" them.

But they are sooo pretty!

I have mine on display in my livingroom now,
but I guess I will place them in a cupboard
before summer..!

[Pour_Monsieur]

I would love to have all my bottles out for display but really dont want to risk spoiling them , so they are kept in their boxes on a shelf in my smelly corner of the bedroom

[Torx]

cool, dark, dry, dresser drawer lower to the floor where temp is cooler.

i check to make sure theyre cool by touching them to my lips
i was keeping them under my bed where it was even cooler during winter... but moved them because they built up condensation on the outside when i pulled them out and played with them

[Heartwood]

I keep mine in their boxes. My bottles are somewhat organized by season, so my cool weather fragrances are in a dresser drawer, while my warm weather and more commonly worn scents are on a shelf in my closet.

[Hillaire]

I have a lovely Chinoisserie mirrored display cabinet, where I display my rare vintages and special ones.
The rest stay in my dresser in my dressing room, boxed in the dark. With a rotation of one or two scents on the dresser top with matching cremes.
Minis have their own dresser, a mini one .

same.

It's a crime keeping frags in the bathroom. They're delicate.

[mrcologneguy]

Dark closet, several shelves, boxes stored separately. Love the way the collection looks, but too afraid of wrecking the fragrances with exposure to light, heat, and humidity.

[w3pearl]

Exactly. I do not throw away the boxes - and I see no reason to "display" them.

I also keep the boxes.

About displaying... well, I do that with few very pretty bottles that I cared about a lot (and have nice memmories about moments when I weared it) after the perfume is gone.

With the ones with perfume in them, I never do this. Never put them where they can be seen, cause I hate people touching them, I feel they're an intimate secret of mine.

[CanwllCorfe]

I keep mine in their boxes on the bottom shelf of my chifferobe!

[ChickenFreak]

Mine are in breadboxes (three and growing) with tilt-open lids, on a non-bathroom shelf. The lid minimizes light when closed (I hope; it's rather like the "does the fridge light really go off?" question), and makes it easy to access the bottles when opened. Most are out of their boxes.

[Eva Pasco]

I keep my treasures in a cabinet where they're secluded from sunlight.

[bookshop88]

I keep them in 4 different closets. I have 3 and my husband one. One closet is very big, I cleared it from my clothes and put them on several levels. The closets close with a door. Sometimes it is very hard to reach for the ones in the back of a level.

[maia4u]

On a shelf of my dresser in the bedroom , its dark and the temperature is kinda constant . I keep them into their boxes and no i do not expose them , they are my treasures . I wouldnt like someone to ransack them .
