It’s common to walk into a random fragrance shop and fall in love with a certain perfume and buy it. Also, you may be in search of a particular designer perfume you are looking for and search for the best prices in local perfume shops or online, but are worried about getting the best quality. Nowadays it’s very easy to get fooled by the many imposters and pay for a fake perfume. It’s important to learn to spot the difference.
When you go into a fragrance shop and speak with the clerk, ask to see the box up close. Review closely if there are any statements such as designer impostor, or inspired by. There are legitimate companies out there that make perfumes like the originals, and have permission and are required to state that their perfume isn’t the original, but made to smell like it. A good way to check the validity of a fragrance store is by asking if they offer such perfumes, and if they deny it and you still find this information, then avoid buying from them altogether.
Another important part to checking if the perfume shop sells original designer perfumes is by making sure that the box is the same as other originals. If you are a diehard fan or a particular perfume and are looking for it in fragrance shops and want to find the best price, it’s a great way to find out if it’s an original or rip-off. You may want to maybe take your old box, of course if you know for a fact that it was the original, and compare it with the perfume at the fragrance store. If you find any differences, and they claim that it’s an original, do not buy from this perfume shop.
When reviewing the box, ask them to take the bottle out. Ask the clerk in the fragrance shop to open up the box so you can see the bottle. It’s important that they don’t just hand you a tester and its box, as that may be original. If they refuse, find another perfume shop. Not all that are original will do this as this will damage the box itself; however, they must be able to prove that they are original in times like these that every other is a fake. Once you’ve got the box opened however, check both on the box and the bottle the spelling of the name as well as the emblem. When buying a perfume in a fragrance shop make sure that you also check the spelling of the designers’ name, as that is commonly used by impostors.
