How to Store and Care for Perfumes in Hot Weather

Why Perfumes Spoil Faster in Hot Weather

• High heat breaks down fragrance molecules.

• Sunlight alters color and scent, especially for oils.

• Moisture can dilute and weaken concentration.

A perfume stored carelessly in a car or near a window can lose its charm in just weeks.

Best Practices to Store Perfumes in UAE Climate

• Keep Them Cool (But Not Frozen): Store between 15–20°C in a shaded area.

• Dark Storage Works Best: A drawer, closet, or dedicated perfume box protects against sunlight.

Special Care for Arabic Perfumes (Oils & Oud)

Arabic perfumes like oud, musk, and concentrated oils are especially sensitive to heat.

• Oils in Dark Glass: Prevents oxidation.

• Keep Bakhoor Dry: Store incense in airtight containers away from moisture.

Traveling with Perfume in UAE Heat

• Use Travel Atomizers: Carry small amounts instead of full bottles.

• Avoid Leaving in Cars: Car interiors in Dubai summer can hit 60°C—fatal for perfumes.

• Wrap in Cloth: Prevents direct heat damage.
