How to Store Perfume in a Warm Climate

Tierra de Paris perfume in its clear glass bottle beside the original carton

A perfume bottle looks beautiful on display, but a shaded cupboard or drawer is usually a better place to keep it. Choose a spot indoors with a reasonably steady temperature, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.

Choose a cool, shaded shelf

A bedroom drawer or wardrobe shelf is a practical choice. If your dressing table catches the afternoon sun, store the bottle in its original carton and take it out when you use it.

Keep it out of a parked car

In the UAE, a parked car can heat up quickly. Take your perfume indoors when you arrive, especially if the bottle will otherwise sit in the glove compartment or near a window.

Pack it upright for travel

Fit the cap securely and keep the bottle upright in a protective pouch or its carton. That helps guard the glass and prevents other items from pressing against the sprayer.
