    TL;DR: No. The half-life of hydrogen-sulfide (one of smelliest constituents of a fart) reacting with the oxygen in the jar from just your fart is 12-37 hours. The article gives an example of a particularly potent hypothetical fart that would only retain any distinguishable odor for 9 days tops.

      So if I farted into a vaccum sealed bag… I could save it then?

        Sadly, the fart itself comes with oxygen included

          So i have to design an attachment to take oxygen out of the fart before sealing it? I better start watching some TED talks this could be some work.

      What about the other odor producing compounds? From wikipedia:

      Hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan (also known as methanethiol), dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide and dimethyl trisulfide are present in flatus.
