How to distinguish a fake of spirits? Advice

• Buy goods only in well-knownshops, where there are special strips of paper on which you can test perfume. You can ask the seller for a certificate of quality. If this is not, then you can try to visually identify a fake.
• Packaging of perfume. First of all, carefully study the packaging and inscriptions on it. Packaging should be made of strong cardboard, all inscriptions should be clear and easy to read. A thin cellophane film should fit tightly around the box. The brand, which solves cellophane, should be strictly centered. Some manufacturers today refuse cellophane or completely from packaging, emphasizing the originality of the bottle. This, too, must be taken into account. Information on what exactly should be the packaging for this product, you can find in advance on the manufacturer's website.
• Carefully read the inscriptions. On the grossest fakes, the name of a perfume or firm can be written with an error: one letter is written incorrectly, the letters are missing, an extra letter, letters or words are rearranged, etc. For example, instead of Hugo Boss - Hugo Bos, instead of Kenzo - Genzo, Cool Water turns into Cool Winter, etc. There should also be information about the manufacturer, the composition of the product, the date of production, the purpose: for women or for men, volume, etc. The producer country should be stated as follows: "Made in France", and not just France. Country of the manufacturer may be France, Italy, the United States, Germany - there are also famous perfume houses. All information should be typed in a clearly legible font.
• How to distinguish a fake of spirits? Pay attention to the barcode. This code for different producing countries starts with a certain figure. Here are the main ones: France - the first figures are 30-37, Great Britain - 50, USA 00-09, Italy 80-83, Germany 400-440. At the bottom of the code must be a serial number that corresponds to the code on the bottle.
• All perfumery products must be provided with a sticker in Russian. It can be performed not on film or on matte or glossy paper.
• Pay attention to the price of the goods. If the store sells the goods at a discount of 50 or more percent, then this should alert. Such spirits are either counterfeit, or they have run out of time.
• If you have the opportunity, examine the vial itself. Fake bottles are made of cheap glass or plastic, they have uneven bends, a cheap cap. In the original perfume, glass is initially made in color, for counterfeits can be painted. When you buy a new perfume, the first 2 pshika from the spray should be blank. The spray tube should not be longer than the bottle itself. If it bends and lies down on the bottom of the tank, then it is a fake.
• To check the smell of fragrance, remember about itstructure: the first notes quickly evaporate, in about 2 minutes; heart notes, following them hold up to 2 hours; then you will feel the basic notes that will please you within 4 hours. Needless to say, fakes are deprived of this widely aromatic spectrum. They contain only the upper notes, which immediately rush into the nose, but then quickly disappear and no more aromas are present. Therefore, to determine whether this is a perfume in front of you, "reproach" it for at least four hours. Remember that the fragrance on the skin can differ significantly from the original, and this is not a sign of forgery.
