Counterfeit perfume is common and some fakes look very close to the real thing. No single sign is conclusive, but checking several together gives a clear picture. The most reliable protection is buying from a trusted seller.
What to Check
- Box and cellophane: sharp printing, even colours, clean edges and tight, smooth wrapping. Testers often come in plain boxes, which is normal.
- Batch code: the code on the box and on the bottle should match. It shows both come from one production run but is not proof on its own.
- Bottle and cap: thick, even glass, a precisely fitted cap and a clear engraved logo.
- Sprayer: a fine, even mist rather than drops or uneven spray.
- Liquid: the right colour, clear, with no sediment.
- Scent: a harsh alcohol opening, a flat scent that never changes and rapid fading are warning signs.
- Price: a price far below the market is a red flag.
- Seller: the most important factor; a trusted shop has a clear supply source and an authenticity guarantee.
If you are unsure about a scent, try a sample first. These rules apply to designer and niche perfumes alike.
