Solid Perfume › Forums › General Lauder Solids Talk › Perfume Deterioration › Re: Perfume Deterioration
To the best of my knowledge people who collect the older perfume bottles usually keep the old perfume in the bottle. They are never going to use it and nothing smells worse that getting 70 year old perfume on your hands. On top of that they would prefer to have a bottle with the old perfume in it
First of all you are not going to use the perfume. Secondly you do not display your solids open so what is the big deal about discolored perfume.
Personally I dont care what condition the perfume is in when I find a solid I have been looking for. <img src='style_emoticons//smile.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’smile.gif’ />
Hi Ron
Nice to meet you!
Thank you for your advice. Yes, you are right I have some old perfume bottles with perfume that has gone 'off'. And no, I wouldn't dream of throwing the perfume away. So I will take your wise advice and keep the perfume in the compact. I agree, if I eventually find a rare compact that I have been searching a 'lifetime' for it doesn't really matter if the perfume is discolored but I always feel it is an added bonus if I find one without the discoloration, because it looks so much better. And it gives me great pleasure to take my collection out of storage and view/examine them every so often.
