Cheap counterfeits of a good product – it is an inevitable “side effect” of any industry.
According to some 2/3 of the spirits being sold in our shopping fake.
And they can be found in many famous perfumes networks, and to distinguish from the original is sometimes very difficult. Forge spirits is very profitable business. Arm yourself with information and then you please yourself is the right choice.
If you have already chosen the perfume before buying is a lot of information about these spirits. Go to the manufacturers website or read reviews online to know exactly what the original perfume bottle, where should be the logos, holograms, extraction and masking tape, Tasmania, what should be written on the label.
And carefully verify all of these distinctive features with the perfume bottle, which is planning to buy. Not with the probe, namely the fact that will be in your hands near the cash register.
1. Cellophane wrappers
Cellophane, which is Packed in the original perfume is the average density, and sometimes it’s pretty tight. Too thin talking about the fake, because it is not a proper way to wrap a box.
The seams on the back and the side are set with heating and due to this have a neat and smooth appearance. If the seam is uneven or traces of glue, you are clearly not original.
2. Cardboard packaging
The cardboard box for perfume should be tight, inside white, with no shades of gray, no stickers, logo printed directly on the cardboard. Reputable manufacturers use special varieties of cardboard for each product, so that even on the touch you can define a coarse forgery.
Labels on the original packaging is usually smaller than the fake one. No oiled and “jumping” letters. Real manufacturer always says “Made in France” and not just France.
Note the name of the perfume. “Underground” version often contains extra characters. This is done in order to evade responsibility for piracy. At the same time naive and inattentive buyer may not notice mistakes and make a purchase.
Before going to the store for perfume, the manufacturer on the official website. Look, what volume are the bottles for this fragrance. For example, if the options presented are only 50 ml, and the store you are offered 100 or more, then you are obviously cheating.
Note
If you bought perfume abroad or in duty free, do not discard the packaging. On it you will then be able to determine the real perfume in the Russian store.
3. The appearance and quality of the bottle
Manufacturers make special original, complex design to deprive the scammers the chance to make an exact copy. Glass should be transparent and without fading. If it has a cloudy appearance, without a “forgery” there has not been.
Serial number and bar code applied directly to the bottle, and “item” labels 100% fake. Because, to do everything according to the rules costs a lot of money, and scammers just make the low cost of manufacture.
As a rule, the labels of “bad” instances is not clear, it is not dyed, and the letters are not “dancing”. Even a little closely, it’s very easy to notice.
Officially delivered to Russia spirits are certified and are in accordance with the requirements, must be marked in Russian with the address of the manufacturer, expiration date, regulatory standards and barcode
Note
Bar codes of different countries: France – 30-37, United Kingdom – 50, Germany – 400-440, Spain – 84, Italy – 80-83, the United States, Canada – 00-09.
4. The color of spirits
Mostly perfume color varies from pale yellow to dark yellow. The original is always modest colouring of spirits. When your hands will be a vial with a bright red or green color, better put him in his place.
Real manufacturers never painted perfume in flashy colors, everything should be in moderation.
5. Cap of the bottle
Usually, just on the lid and “fail” experienced “costarica”, considering that this one element to look at will not be. And you certainly do it.
The fake cover has burrs, bumps, is lightweight, and logo lettering clearly and strongly blurred. The original design is patented and unique as the spirits themselves. So look carefully, expose for the scene.
6. Spray
Like everything else, spray the bottle looks neat and expensive, and the ring under it so just don’t scroll.
At the same time and check the operation of the spray gun. The first 2-3 times of “zilch” can enter the air, remaining after factory Assembly, and after the perfume is sprayed easily and evenly.
7. Resistance
Perfume consists of three notes. In the manufacture of counterfeits that don’t really pay attention, copying only the base note, and depriving the composition of the entire appeal.
Keep the spirits from 6 to 10 hours, with another two weeks you can feel pretty intense flavor if they were sprayed on clothes. Even after washing, the scent quality of the perfume disappeared.
Of course, test the spirits to the resistance in the store is impossible, but too strong alcohol smell should alert you.
This is the main thing you should remember when you decide to pamper yourself with expensive and fragrant masterpiece. And in any case, do not buy perfume with your hands or in a simple corner shops. In such places, but a fake is unlikely you will find something real. Head to brand store and spend their “expertise.”
If you still have doubts about the authenticity of the perfume, you can ask for a quality certificate in the store. By law, they have to provide. When you get the coveted document in hand, check the originality of the print. It should be “wet”, not copied.
Note
The real seal is easy to distinguish from copied, you only need to look at it at an angle. Printed on the printer is not different from the plane of the sheet, and the present is a little thicker and stands out on the sheet.
Still a few things that will allow you to distinguish real perfumes from fake.
If the seller tells you that the contents of the bottle is made and bottled under license – it’s not true. French perfume can’t be made in Poland and especially in China. Perfume brands do not issue any licences for the production that continue to produce themselves.
///
Major well-known brands are very rarely released for sale bottles of small size, which we call “probes”. In the pen-sprays for 8, 9 and 15 ml of this perfume is also not the case, except for mark Salvador Dali.
To determine the real French perfume you can on labels: I often see “parfume”, although in France cost without the last “e” and write parfum.
