A member asked:
Hi , is there any harm to use aftershave or perfumes after they expire, because most of them have a sign that it could be used for a year after openin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The "expiration" date on such items merely indicates when their active smell ingredients will start to lose their potency. Although your aftershave may not smell quite as strong, it will still be OK to use. Hope this helps!
