Which perfume is original?
Authentic perfumes will have a control, batch, and serial number on the packaging. These numbers are used to independently verify the authenticity of the perfume.
If you have any doubts, consult the manufacturer to see if the numbers match with their production numbering.
Does fake perfume smell the same?
Counterfeit fragrances excel in mimicking an authentic perfume’s smell, but that’s about it. The scent could seem similar at first, but the quality and longevity of a fake would be weaker than of an authentic perfume.
What ingredients are in fake perfumes?
Phony cosmetics often contain things such as arsenic, beryllium, and cadmium (all known carcinogens) along with high levels of aluminum and dangerous levels of bacteria. Some of these products have caused conditions like acne, psoriasis, rashes, and eye infections.
