Kinda hard to really know if they " lasted " that long without having them

analyzed. But if they were kept in the dark dark dark .. not even any

They were kept in the dark, dark, dark. They were also perfume oils

that had both essential oils and synthetics, so that's probably why.

you can always look at the data on Myron Violet Glass site. They

have some good info on what happens to the oils.
