Is it safe to keep your colognes on the sink counter of the bathroom even though it can get steamy from showers and somewhat bright from the bathroom lights?
Storing Colognes on bathroom counter?

Theye sensitive to heat and light, yes - but I think its more direct sunlight and extreme heat that would ruin a cologne. I should think that they will be fine.
Yup. Direct sunlight and very high temps the enemy.
I would store then out of any light and out from varying room temperatures so I store them is a closed closet in my bedroom. I would not store them in the bathroom in direct light.
I keep a bottle of Pinaud Clubman on the bathroom counter. So far, the steam has not caused the label so slip. The bathroom light has had no noticeable effect on the scent so far. I have had it there for a couple of months. It is a 12 ounce bottle. I think it was about $9.
Do you think I should move it?

Dry, cool & dark is best. and we tend to put them on while dressing, so the closet seems only right.
I store my stuff in here, in the cool total darkness only afforded by a deep natural cave.
I wear night vision goggles when applying it, so as not to risk it breaking down from the beam of the flashlight on the way from the bottle to my face.
It works wonderfully, but the 3 hour drive back and forth each morning is a bit of a hassle.

According to my friend there is greater risk from teenage sons if you leave your colognes out !
Oh god... I can't imagine. $50 for a 15ml decant of Windsor, and some greasy teenager douses his body with it because he's too lazy to shower in the morning.
Yes. To the trash... quickly!!!

If I could get my two sons to use my colognes, I would be ecstatic!
I did notice that my younger one took my tube of Prosaro SC off to college with him! Still shaving with some kind of multitrack razor though, and lathers the Prosaro with his hand rather than a brush. Actually does pretty well that way!
I would guess that the greatest danger of keeping them on the bathroom sink is that they would get knocked to the bathroom floor.
Hence the modern Clubman plastic bottle.
Actually some of you outthere may get a laugh about this or some amusement anyway. So I was in Raleigh, NC, and at The Nid Hog's suggestion I stopped in a the best beauty supply place I have every been, and amount other things got myself a glass bottle of Hoyt's, which I have been wanting for a long time. Hoyt's only comes in 2 oz bottles. They cost probably 2/3 or more of the cost of the larger bottles when are more like 7 oz, or maybe even bigger! But I had always wanted a glass bottle.
So it get it back home and have owned it for all of 2 days or so. I have it sitting on a shelf above and to the side of my bathroom sink. Trying to get something on that shelf from behind it, I manage to knock it off the shelf, where it hits the corner of the sink (a Corian type material that has shattered bottles that I have merely knocked over on their sides in the past), immediately hits the ceramic type floor, and literally bounces off that floor up into the open shower door against the ceramic wall and down to the floor of the shower where it rolls around a bit and finally settles.
Absolutely intact, however. I have never seen a glass bottle take that kind of stress and survive before. It is a smallish bottle, but it was completely full and thus heavy, and does not seem particularly thick or anything. I am very grateful.
The other day I managed to knock a 2 dram (4 ml) amber glass vial off the counter by the sink, and almost grab it on the way to the floor, but instead deflect it into the same shower, but with much less force than the Hoyt's had behind it, and that vial blew up like a paint ball round hitting a face mask. Still not sure I got all the tiny shard of glass from between the tiles.
Yes. To the trash... quickly!!!

Hmmm. A Clubman cooler. What a cool idea!
