Troubleshooting
While Noirot Orange Flower Water is a stable product, here are some common concerns and their resolutions:
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No scent or weak flavor | Improper storage (exposure to heat/light), bottle left open, or product past its prime. | Ensure proper storage (cool, dark, refrigerated after opening). Check the "best by" date. If the bottle was left open, the volatile compounds may have evaporated. |
| Bottle arrived damaged or leaked | Shipping mishandling. | Inspect packaging upon arrival. If damaged, contact the seller or retailer immediately for assistance. |
| Cloudiness or sediment | Rare, but could indicate contamination or spoilage. | Do not consume. Dispose of the product and contact the manufacturer if purchased recently. |
