Combine concentrate with carrier in clean amber glass, leaving minimal headspace.
Keep at stable cool temperature (50–65°F), dark, and upright away from vibration.
Sample batch at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months to track olfactory development.
When scent profile stabilizes, filter if needed and transfer to final presentation bottles.
Esters form and harsh notes meld during alcohol maceration — the perfume "marries."
UV breaks down fragrance molecules — amber or opaque bottles essential.
Repeated warm-cool cycles accelerate degradation.
Each opening introduces oxygen — limit access to main batch.
