Oils are generally more forgiving to store than sprays, but a few specific habits still make a real difference.

The rules for oils and attars

  • Store upright, away from direct light and heat.
  • A cool cupboard or drawer, rather than a bathroom shelf, is ideal.
  • Pure oud oil in particular can benefit from longer-term, careful storage, sometimes improving with age like a fine spirit.
