Perfumes come in several forms, including eau de parfum, eau de toilette, cologne, and perfume oil. Eau de parfum has a higher concentration of fragrance oils and tends to last longer, while cologne has a lower concentration and is lighter.

Perfumes should be stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. This helps preserve the fragrance and prevents it from deteriorating quickly.

Natural fragrances are derived from plant sources or animal secretions, while synthetic fragrances are made in a laboratory. Both can create complex and pleasing scents, but natural fragrances may be preferred by those seeking more organic or environmentally friendly options.

The lifespan of a perfume after it’s opened can vary depending on factors such as its ingredients and how it’s stored. Generally, perfumes can last anywhere from one to three years after opening, but some may last longer if well-preserved.
