Is maceration fact or fiction?

Myths facts and opinions:

Maceration is defined as a process in which as a perfume ages it can become stronger, and better. For this reason, a lot of people believe that when they receive a weak perfume, they should put it in storage, and over time it will increase its potency. Most people say this works especially well with Middle Eastern/clone brands specifically, but why?

The reason that's factual is that when you use ingredients with trace naturals included, the organic materials become more potent as the perfume ages. In modern times, investing in these materials is very expensive. Because Middle Eastern brands have a low currency exchange rate. They use that to their advantage, investing a lot of money into their ingredients often using trace naturals.

Maceration doesn't work as well for non-organic, synthetically created ingredients like Iso-E-super, amberwood, or ambroxan, etc.
