Perfumes have a short shelf life!
Perfumes are classified as cosmetics under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, which stipulates that unopened bottles must be used within three years. Therefore, perfumes sold in Japan can be considered as an indicator of quality maintenance for three years if unopened. However, once the package is opened, oxidation and other deterioration occur more quickly, so one year is said to be the limit for maintaining quality. For men who use several different kinds of perfumes, or who use perfumes infrequently, it is not surprising that the usable period is quite short and there are many cases where the perfume is not used up. Perfumes that have been on the skin for too long can still be used as room fragrances! *Perfumes that have been exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures will deteriorate rapidly, so use with caution.
Ready-made products are mainly unisex and room fragrances for women
Women are far more concerned about room fragrance than men, so room fragrances on the market are mainly for women or for both men and women. It is fine to use these fragrances, but if you compare it to fashion, it may be like a manly man wearing a rugged leather jacket wearing a girlish perfume. If you have gone to the trouble of decorating a room with a masculine interior, you may want to go all out and give it a masculine scent.
Let’s take a look at some tricks to turn your perfume into a room fragrance.
DIY conversion of an entire perfume bottle into a reed diffuser!
Speaking of perfume bottles, each brand and perfume has its own stylish design. Many men may have bought a bottle because it looked cool. Then there is no way not to take advantage of this!
This is a very manly DIY project in which the metal fittings on the top of the bottle are removed using nippers and pliers, and a bamboo skewer is inserted.
The video uses a bamboo skewer with a pointed tip, probably for cooking, but there are also commercially available sticks specially designed for reed diffusers. I recommend you to use the stick for reed diffusers, which spreads the fragrance more easily. I recommend you to use those sticks as they spread the fragrance more easily. It is also important to cut the reeds to the appropriate length to match the size and height of the bottle.
