How to Tell If a Perfume is Fake

Women of all ages have a collection of fragrances for different situations, seasons, and moods. A good perfume, however, is very expensive. Because of this reason, the perfume market is now saturated with fake fragrances that are often sold at high prices. Fake fragrances do not guarantee good quality. Women should be wise in choosing their fragrance and buy it only from reliable stores.

The easiest way to verify a fake perfume is to look at the certificate of authenticity. However, this proof is not always possible to acquire, but there are tips on how to distinguish fake fragrances visually.

  1. The first thing to look at is the packaging of the perfume. Fake fragrances usually have unclear printing design. Sometimes the name is misspelled. Genuine brands have clear and neat inscriptions on the package. The box is made from strong cardboard and covered with thin cellophane.
  2. Producers of fake fragrances usually add extra letters in the name or change the position. The bottle of a genuine perfume contains complete information such as name of manufacturer, date of manufacture, and composition of the product.
  3. The bottle of an original perfume is clear, clean and transparent. It is covered tightly with protected applicator. Check also the colour which ranges only from pale to dark yellow.
  4. Look at barcodes and serial numbers on the authentic bottles. Serial numbers coincide with the barcodes. Perfumes from France begin with the figure -30-37, United States and Canada -00-09, and Italy with -30-37.
  5. Always pay attention to the price of the perfume. Fake fragrances are usually sold on a street market, groceries, or small stores.
  6. The scent of original fragrance is long-lasting depending on the type and concentration of aromatic components. A perfume is more expensive than the ‘eau de parfum’ and the ‘eau de toilette’.
