7 Tips to Preserve the Quality of Your Ittar

At Zikrr, we believe in the power of scent to transcend boundaries and evoke emotions. Each fragrance in our collection is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and timeless elegance that defines us. We celebrate the intricate dance of notes, the harmonious blend of ingredients, and the alchemy that transforms mere essences into olfactory symphonies.

Unlike many perfumes, Zikrr’s fragrance oils don’t have an expiration date, but proper care and storage are essential to maintain their quality and potency over time.

Take a look at these 7 tips to help you keep your Zikrr in pristine condition:

1.Store in a Cool, Dark Place

Ensure your Zikrr ittar is stored away from direct sunlight and heat. Exposure to light and heat can degrade the fragrance molecules, weakening the scent over time

2. Use Airtight Containers

Keep your Zikrr ittar in tightly sealed glass bottles. This prevents exposure to air, which can oxidise and alter the fragrance. Airtight containers help maintain the purity and longevity of the scent. Also, minimise the time the bottle is open to reduce air exposure. Quickly reseal the container after each use

3. Avoid Extreme Temperatures

Fluctuating temperatures can damage the fragrance. Store your ittar in a place with stable, moderate temperatures, avoiding areas with extreme heat or cold. Closets, dressing drawers might be the best place to store your ittars.

4. Keep Away from Moisture

Moisture can lead to mold growth or spoilage of the oils. Store your ittar in a dry environment, avoiding areas like bathrooms where humidity is high.

5. Avoid Contact with Metals

Metal surfaces or containers can interact with the perfume and alter its scent. Use glass or ceramic containers to store your ittar, preserving its original fragrance.

6. Clean application tools:

If you are using a stick applicator for your ittars, make sure to clean it regularly to prevent cross-contamination and maintain the purity of the scent, very similar to how you do it for your make up brushes. 

7. Store Away from Strong Odours

Fragrance oils can absorb surrounding odours, which can affect their original scent. Keep your ittar away from strong-smelling substances like cooking ingredients to maintain its purity.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your Zikrr remains high-quality, offering a delightful and long-lasting fragrance experience.
