what's the consensus in here on how long colognes last, properly stored away from bathroom or sun?
i've seen everything from 5 years to forever
i don't think i've had one that's gone bad on me yet
I'm sure everyone will disagree with me here, but I think that "don't store fragrance in the bathroom" is a bunch of overblown bullshyt.
How fukkin hot does a bathroom get? Honestly?
Maybe these psychos who take fukkin blazing hot showers that fog up everything...yeah. Sure. You're probably not doing your colognes any favors.
But if you take normal, warm showers...I think it's fine.
Hey if people have the room to store it in their bedroom or if they have a closet...great. But I'm personally not going out of my way to do anything special.
Most people will never even finish their cologne bottles. So if the shyt maybe loses a tiny bit of potency 10 years later...dude go fukk yourself, you know? If you haven't finished that bottle 10 years later, you bought too much or you don't really love it in the first place.
Now, fine. Maybe WIA20XX and Monoblock have like 300 fragrances and decants and shyt so they have things laying around for 10 years and storage is a concern. Am I attacking them? Kind of. I mean not personally...but I think even they'd admit they have too many fragrances.
