Shelf life on solid perfumes?

Post by Xarata » Tue Feb 09, 2010 7:28 pm

I received kai(floral) as a gumball which made me want to pull out my old solids (sexy vanilla and tease) and they've quite gone off, so i wondered what the recommended shelf life for them is?

The older formula has a shorter shelf life...about a year. The newer formula has a longer one, but what it is- I'm not sure because I didn't find any that had gone-off. They're not going to last forever- I'm guessing about 6 more months- enough time to get your $.50 out of them, but if you don't love a scent swap it right away, and be up-front about it.
