Store the bottle well. Heat, light and humidity break perfume down, so keep it in its box, in a cool drawer, and away from the bathroom.
Buy from trusted sellers. Genuine perfume should have clean packaging, a batch code and a consistent colour. The retailer links on each page are a good place to start, and prices that look too good to be true usually are.
