Does Perfume Expire or Am I Imagining Things?

I recently found an old perfume bottle that I hadn't used in
years. The bottle looked completely fine, but when I sprayed it,
the scent seemed different from what I remembered. It wasn't
terrible, but it definitely wasn't as fresh or vibrant as
before.
That got me wondering: does perfume expire?

After doing some research, I learned that perfume can actually
change over time. Factors like sunlight, heat, air exposure, and
humidity can affect the fragrance oils and alter the scent.
Apparently, most perfumes can last several years, but proper
storage makes a huge difference.
Some common signs of an aging perfume include:
Darker liquid color
Weaker performance
Strange or sour smell
Missing top notes
I've started storing my fragrances in a cool, dark place instead
of the bathroom because temperature changes can speed up the
aging process.
Has anyone else experienced this? How old is the oldest perfume
in your collection that still smells great? I'm curious to hear
your experiences and whether you've noticed a difference between
fresh, citrus fragrances and heavier woody scents when it comes
to longevity.
