How to Store Eau de Toilette and Make It Last for Years


A fine eau de toilette is an investment, and proper storage protects it. Stored badly, an eau de toilette turns within a year; stored well, it can last several. Here is how.

Keep your eau de toilette away from light

UV light breaks down the molecules in an eau de toilette. Store the bottle in a drawer or box, never on a sunny shelf.

Control the temperature

Heat accelerates degradation. A cool, stable room is best for an eau de toilette — avoid the bathroom, where steam and heat fluctuate.

Seal it tightly

Air oxidises fragrance. Keep the cap firmly on your eau de toilette between uses.

Mind the bottle

An eau de toilette in a frosted, well-sealed flacon — like those from eau8 — is better protected from light.
