14. Cologne/Perfume
Ends in: Two Years
$50* is the average price.
It’s tempting to use pricey perfumes infrequently because they might be expensive to replace. Though it might smell nice, that old Chanel no. 5 you found at the thrift store is most likely out of date.

After opening, most colognes and perfumes should be changed within 30 months. Store your products in a cool, dry spot away from the refrigerator to preserve their freshness as much as possible. Variations in temperature will only contribute to the quality’s further decline. Bonus advice: avoid decanting into sprayers and don’t shake the bottle.
A perfume’s quality may be negatively impacted by decanting it, making it lose its scent more quickly than it would if it remained in the original bottle. Since many perfumes can be expensive to purchase, be sure to monitor them and store them properly to obtain the most value for your money.
