- Signs of aging: yellowing, loss of top-note sharpness, resinous or oxidized odor
- Retest after long storage (e.g., 24-30 months) if the product is for food or pharma use — we can retest and re-certify
- Keep the retained batch sample and COA as reference for the full shelf life
- Store away from strong-smelling materials — the oil both absorbs and gives off aroma
- For bulk drums, keep headspace minimal and store drums upright on pallets in a ventilated area
