Read the seller’s information carefully. You can avoid buying fake perfumes by buying from reputable places. There are many perfume supplies on the market, you need to understand the benefits as well as the risks when buying from these sources..
- Branded supermarkets are always the safest place to buy perfume because you can check the perfume bottle and packaging and talk directly with the sales staff. You can confirm with the salesperson if you suspect the product you are looking at is a fake and can return it if it is not genuine.
- Be very careful when buying perfume at a toad market or flea market as you will most likely end up buying a fake at exorbitant prices. Always double-check a perfume before you buy it and, if possible, get the seller’s contact information in case the product’s quality is not as expected.
- Ask the seller questions directly related to product information. For example: “Can you tell me the batch number of the product?” and “Can you show me a photo of the writing on the back of the box?”, etc.
- When buying online on eBay or. Amazon, you need to consult the reviews both on the product and on the seller. Sellers need a verified PayPal account as this means they have to provide contact information for PayPal for identification. You also need to check if they have a return policy, if not, ask for a return. In addition, pay attention to whether the information provided is grammatically and spelled correctly.

Note the product price. Although the price does not always reflect the quality of the perfume, if the product of an expensive “brand” is too cheap, it is hard to believe and most likely it is not the real perfume. There are exceptions, for example the store is liquidating to stop business, but in short, it’s still money. [2] X Source of Research

Research carefully before buying perfume. Visit the manufacturer’s website to see if they have provided complete information about the packaging, container and barcode location. You can also visit the product showroom to see how the bottle of genuine perfume and the glass layer on the package is wrapped.
Identify genuine products
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a0/Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px- Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a0/Determine-Whether- a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Check the coating. Genuine perfumes usually have a layer of glass wrap around the box. Check to see if this layer of glass is loose, loosely wrapped or can easily be moved from the box. The carelessly wrapped cellophane is a sign that the perfume isn’t genuine. [3] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4b/Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-5.jpg/v4-728px-Determine-Whether- a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4b/Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic- Step-5.jpg/v4-728px-Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Check the box carefully. Often you can tell the difference between a real and fake perfume by looking at the parts of the box. Before opening the perfume box, check carefully whether the packaging and design have any unprofessional points.
- Check the writing on the back of the box. Look for grammatical errors, typos, sloppy presentation, etc. The genuine packaging of a real perfume must be grammatically correct. If there are grammatical or spelling errors, it is a fake perfume. [4] X Research Sources
- Genuine packaging is made from high-quality paperboard, so boxes made from thin, poor-quality paper are often fake.
- Check the barcode on the box. Barcodes are usually printed on the bottom of the back of the box, not on the side.
- Check for excess glue or tape. Genuine perfume does not have any excess glue or tape both inside and outside the box.

Check product code, batch number, serial number. Genuine perfumes will have enough of these parameters on the package, so they are used to verify the product. Consult the manufacturer to see if these numbers match their product. [5] X Research Sources

Feel the perfume bottle. Real perfume bottles are very smooth in the hand, while fake perfumes are often a bit rough, poor quality, sometimes made of plastic. The original vial has a tight-fitting spill-proof lid. You should note that designers of perfume brands consider the bottle to be part of the product experience, so they are often of exceptional quality.
The difference of scent

Understand the intricacies of real perfumery. The scent of a real perfume is complex and elaborate. Although it is very difficult to use scent to identify the real one, those who have ever smelled the real perfume will know right away which is the fake perfume. [6] X Research Sources

Know the layers of incense. All good perfumes have three layers of scent that gradually appear over time, including: the top note (top note), the middle note (middle or heart note) and the base note (base note). This complex structure makes the scents change in many directions from the moment they are sprayed on to the time when the perfume is completely absorbed into the skin. Fake perfume has only a one-way scent layer and will have a “fading” smell after spraying it on for a short time.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/18/Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Determine-Whether- a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/18/Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic- Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Distinguish between synthetic and natural ingredients. Genuine perfumes are elaborately prepared to create three different scents. They are a combination of scents from both natural and synthetic ingredients. Cheap perfumes are often made entirely from synthetic materials, so they don’t have such complex layers.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f7/Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Determine-Whether- a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f7/Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic- Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pay attention to the longevity of the perfume. At first, fake perfumes smell quite similar to real perfumes, but gradually real perfumes will outperform in terms of longevity and smell durability, so they have a higher value. An opened bottle of real perfume can keep the scent from 6 to 18 months. Citrus-based perfumes usually go bad after about 6 months, while floral-based perfumes can maintain their quality for up to 18 months. Cheap perfume bottles after opening the lid will lose smell after a few weeks or months.

Know how many layers of the fragrance you choose. When shopping for a perfume, you need to find out if it is a ‘single-layer’ or multi-layered perfume. Single-layer perfumes usually only have the top notes, so the lack of middle and bottom notes does not always mean that the perfume is fake. When testing a single-layered fragrance, you need to be aware of whether the fragrance smells strange and matches the description on the manufacturer’s website. [7] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/8a/Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Determine-Whether- a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-13.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8a/Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic- Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Determine-Whether-a-Perfume-Is-Authentic-Step-13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Try perfume. You should only try a perfume after carefully checking the packaging and analyzing the scent carefully. Be careful because fake perfume can make you allergic or cause skin redness. After a thorough test, spray the perfume on your skin and notice how the scent changes during the day. If it is a genuine multi-layered perfume, you will feel the fading of the top notes, instead, the middle and bottom notes gradually appear. Fake perfume can only keep the top scent for a maximum of a few hours.
Advice
- For most users, genuine perfumes are usually hypoallergenic, unless you are allergic to pollen-scented perfumes. Non-genuine fragrances contain a multitude of untested or unproven chemicals that can cause skin or respiratory allergies.
- Check transparency. Genuine perfumes are usually transparent, without residue or unusual discoloration.
- If you have friends or relatives who have bought genuine perfume, try to smell it and compare it with the cheap perfume you just bought, you will definitely see the difference. This experience will keep you away from cheaper perfumes (or you can also go to a brand name supermarket and compare with their samples).
Warning
- Don’t trust online resellers. They make a living by deceiving people who know famous perfume brands but don’t know what real perfume smells like.
- Goods sold on the street plus cheap prices cannot be genuine. If you can buy cheap perfume from street vendors, the goods you buy are not genuine.
