How to Macerate Perfume Properly?

SteelerOpera | Perfume Discussions

... My wish for 2025 is for fragrance lovers to stop believing myths like home MaCeRaTiOn and start remembering basic science like we learned back in 6th grade. We are now entering the main period (Christmas) where the uninitiated and ignorant will spray a new bottle, stash it away, then pull it out in 6 months and proclaim how much better smelling and better performing the fragrance is. They think this is due to the magic of “maceration” and are blind to the fact that the weather has changed drastically in that time. Nor do they realize how delicate and easily influenced our sense of smell is, especially to newbies, and finally they don’t understand the concept of confirmation bias where they hear other people talking about how this process changed their fragrance, and psychologically they will make their mind believe it has done the same for them. All I want for Christmas is a return to common sense and critical thinking :)
