What is high temperature?

Hello,
I was wondering what exactly is considered "heat" when storing
perfumes.
I want my perfume wardrobe to last many years, obviously I have
several bottles opened at the same time and don't want them to
turn. I have all of them in their boxes in a cabinet, so the
lack of humidity and light is guaranteed. But the cabinet is in
a room (not my bedroom since I don't have space there) that can
be very hot in the summer. There is no AC there, so the
temperature can rise to around 35 degrees Celsius (95
Fahrenheit) for a couple of months per year.
I am worried that could hurt my perfumes (I started my
collection this year, before I had only 2 for a couple of years
and they are fine).
I'm also afraid of storing them in the refrigerator since I read
they could react badly to the abrupt change of temperature when
you take them out.
I read many people just store them in a cabinet and they last
for decades, but as I said, where I live we have a couple of
months that can be really hot, and sadly I cant move them to one
of the rooms with AC (which is not working all the time, anyway,
for I turn it off when I leave the house).
What do you guys think?

Thanks for your input.
Sadly, I have to turn off the AC when I go to work and leave the
house for 8 hours or so, because to put it simply, the energy
cost here is so high that I can buy a new 100ml perfume each
month with the money I save by turning it off. And that is the
cost for 1 room only (1 AC unit).
Maybe I can put the collection in a half bathroom (no shower)
where the temperature is a bit cooler, but that would not make a
big difference, I guess.

I'm in Florida and leave my AC set to 80. Sometimes, the temp in
my house creeps up a little higher than that. I just keep my
frags in a closet off of the hall. I've never had any losses
from the heat or humidity.

For those without A/C:
If you live in a place with a fully cement basement (walls and
floor) that is below ground level, store sealed fragrances
against the lower part of the wall or on/just above the floor.
The temperatures below ground are considerably cooler. Summer
temperatures above ground level - 95, in the basement 70's.
Underground basement temperature ranges are more constant too,
so it can a more stable storage environment.
But, if there is an unfinished / dirt floor, even though it is
cooler, it will be much more humid and may be too risky.
