Every time I took a bottle out, even for just a minute to use ....it would immediately be covered in condensation! Not a big problem if the bottle is etched but it was damaging to the bottles with labels...and a couple bottles are in their boxes....and the boxes were not faring so well in the fridge. I had thought 'cold storage' was the way to go...now I'm thinking that a nice dark cabinet where no sun is coming in a window and no heat duct close by is better. It's also been pointed out to me that so many of these wonderful vintage fragrances have been stored in someone's lingerie drawer for years and are fine!

Considering his fragrances have zero sillage and last all of 1 hour, I don't think they would create much of a waft in his stores. Sorry to be so nasty but I think his scents are so incredibly overrated and I'm not a fan of people who think they're the bees knees either - and I definetely get that sense from him.
