Perfume lasts forever provided it is not exposed to air. Perfume bottles are usually in a glass form with an airtight stopper so in theory, if it is not used, it will keep perfectly well in the bottle forever (and it must be kept free from heat and light too). This is one of the reasons that you will never see an expiration date or a ‘use by’ date on perfume and cologne products. If you do see a ‘best before’ date on perfume it is either defective product or a manufacturer’s scam to get you to replenish the product earlier than necessary. Legally, it can be a requirement for a manufacturer to provide a best before date but with perfume products this date should be several years in the future.
Perfume times factor
Poor quality perfume can suffer from chemical reactions and oxidization which will not, in itself, reduce the volume of perfume in a bottle but will reduce the perfume’s potency or fragrance. However, the aroma of a quality perfume will remain constant provided you look after the product in a normal way. This means that you do not leave your perfume bottle is the baking sun or floating around a swimming pool. Just store your perfume in a cool place that is dry and out of direct sunlight. Keep the bottle stoppered correctly. A wine cooler is sometimes used as an ideal storage location for the most expensive perfumes. A bathroom would be a bad spot to leave perfume due to the damp and humidity.

Why does some perfume last longer
The perfume essential oil contains no fat and is mixed with an alcohol base which preserves the scent. Provided that you do not leave the stopper off for long periods the parfum or cologne will remain in perfect condition. The alcohol does evaporate if the product is left unattended with the stopper removed. It would be a shame to ruin an expensive perfume in this manner.
Bad perfume smells
You will know immediately if your perfume has gone bad. Discoloration might be visible but the sure sign will be the pungent aroma when you smell the perfume. Perfume that has been exposed to air, heat or light will suffer in some way but it is easy to prevent the three factors from having an impact. Look after your perfume and you will not suffer any loss. When it does occur, however, look upon it as an opportunity to try out a new fragrance.
