Can Summer Perfume Be Kept in the Car?

[LaAlan]

Summer perfume should not be kept in the car because it contains alcohol, which is flammable. During hot and dry summer weather, the risk of fire increases, especially when the air conditioning is on and the windows are closed, turning the car into a confined space prone to explosion accidents. Most perfumes are made from industrial alcohol and synthetic fragrances. Alcohol is a volatile and flammable substance, and the main components of perfume are fragrance and alcohol, with alcohol content typically ranging from 40% to 80%. In summer, just half an hour of sunlight can raise the temperature inside a parked car to over 65°C (149°F). When perfume evaporates, it produces a flammable substance with an explosion threshold of 49°C (120°F), making it highly susceptible to explosion.
