How long does perfume last in a sealed box?
Bottom line: An unopened bottle of fragrance is good for 12 to 18 months, though a light scent—such as a citrus, one with fresh green notes, or a delicate floral—will most likely begin to turn sooner.
Does boxed perfume go off?
Yes, perfume and also after shave do go off. However, how long they last depend on the scent’s chemical composition. Many perfumes don’t have a set expiry date and can last anywhere between 1-10 years. Perfumes that are stored correctly will last much longer than those that are not (more on that later).

Do perfume bottles last longer in the dark?
In general, they tend to last longer when stored in darker places. A closet or a drawer is a good way to store perfume to make it last. Perfume that comes in a colorful bottle, rather than a clear one, may be susceptible to less damage from light. However, it still may not be worth the risk of displaying bottles.
