It is generally not recommended to store perfume in the fridge. Perfumes are best kept in a cool, dark place at a stable temperature, ideally between 50°F to 70°F (10°C to 21°C).

Storing perfume in the fridge can actually have some adverse effects:

1. Temperature Fluctuations: Refrigerators experience temperature fluctuations when opened and closed, which can potentially affect the consistency and fragrance notes of the perfume.
2. Condensation: The cold environment of the refrigerator can lead to condensation forming inside the perfume bottle. This moisture can dilute the perfume and alter its composition over time.
3. Odor Absorption: Perfume bottles can absorb nearby odors. Placing your perfume in the fridge alongside food items or other scented items may lead to the perfume taking on unwanted scents.
4. Bottle Damage: The glass bottles that typically contain perfume are not designed for refrigeration. Rapid temperature changes, such as moving from the fridge to a warmer room, can potentially damage the bottle.

Instead, it’s best to store your perfume in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and temperature extremes. This ensures the fragrance remains stable and retains its original quality. Allow it to rest if needed, but in a suitable storage environment.
