Mindfulness is the golden quality of the buyer. Even if you do not know English very well, you can still easily figure out a fake.

Package

Original perfume can be bought here

It is better to make a purchase in special stores, and not in transitional stalls. Before you go shopping for perfume, do some research on the Internet about what you should look like:

• packaging and bottle of original perfume;
• size and thickness of letters;
• the exact dimensions of the box. For copies, most often the packaging sizes are somewhat different from the original ones.

Real perfumes are distinguished by impeccable workmanship. The box must be packed in tightly fitting cellophane. Pay attention to the inscriptions and logo on the box and bottle. They should be clear and the font should not be too bold.

Cellophane does not roll around the box, but fits tightly around it. The thickness of the seam is not more than 5 mm.

Versace original packaging is a neat rectangular box made of thick cardboard. It holds its shape well and does not tear when lightly pressed.

The name of the brand and the spirits themselves are very high quality. Embossed letters. Remember the Versace logo. On the back of the box contains data on the detailed composition of the perfume. Carefully study the font - whether all the letters are fully spelled out, and the words - whether the letters are missing. The bottom of the box has a serial number and a barcode.

Inside, the bottom and sides of the bottle are supported by a white cardboard tab. The packaging should be inspected for the following details:

• The name of the brand and fragrance is printed on the front side in embossed letters.

• On the back of the box there is information about the composition of the perfume.

• On the underside is the serial number and barcode. The barcode must match the name of the specified manufacturing country. A valid barcode does not yet give 100% a guarantee of product originality. However, an incorrect barcode is a clear sign of a fake.

Check Versace perfume by barcode:

All inscriptions must be carefully studied. Words must be written without grammatical errors, without letter omissions and font defects. If the barcode is missing or looks worn, then the buyer was offered a fake perfume.

Characteristic signs of a fake can be found when examining the cellophane shell of the box.

The difference is that in real perfumes, cellophane is very thin and smooth. The film does not form folds, corresponds to the size of the box and fits it tightly. The seams are thin, the wrapped corners are soldered, not glued, as on a fake.

Bottle

Original bottles are not amenable to blind copying. They are distinguished by heavy weight, clear glass, impeccability of every facet.

Immediately before buying, already at the checkout, inspect the packaging, open it and examine the bottle. The surface of the bottle must be absolutely smooth, without roughness and chips. Turn the bottle upside down: for original perfumes, the cap fits snugly on the bottle and cannot fall out.

There should be no stains on the text or logo. The neck of a fake is usually higher than the neck of the original.

Original Versace perfumes are bottled in glass bottles. A closer look at the original and counterfeit containers shows the following difference:

• The original bottle has the correct shape, without curved lines and decorative elements.

• The bottom thickness should not exceed 2 cm.
• The glass of the original shines and has no defects - scratches, haze, chips, air bubbles.
• There should be a logo and the name of the perfume on the glass.

• The lid sits tightly, is removed with little effort. On the top side there is the brand name, the letters are in bold and match the color of the cap.
• The dispenser button is embossed with the Versace logo.
• The spray nozzle is located in the center of the dispenser button and should be white.
• The spray tube is very thin and slightly touches the bottom.

• At the bottom of the bottle, a film is pasted on which the perfume manufacturer, expiration date and serial number are indicated, the same as on the box.

A barcode, date of manufacture and serial number are mandatory signs of the authenticity of perfumes. They must be clearly visible on the packaging. The serial number consists of 12 digits and its authenticity can be checked on the official website www.versace.com. The code on the box must match the code on the bottle.

The main feature of the original bottle is an inconspicuous atomizer tube. Ideally, it can be seen only with directional lighting and the location of the bottle at the right angle. It is impossible to fake such a performance.

Smell

People with a keen sense of smell will be able to identify a fake fragrance by the characteristic smell of alcohol lingering in the air after spraying a small dose.

Also, fake perfumes are less durable and have a monotonous “sound” - the smell does not change from the moment it is applied to the skin until the persistence time expires.

Fake manufacturers are not able to reproduce the original perfume formula. Real perfumes have a three-stage structure: top notes, heart notes and base. During the opening, the fragrance smoothly transitions from the top note to the bottom.

A fake fragrance most often ends on the heart notes. Pay attention to the color and transparency of the liquid. Well-known brands do not use too much dye.

If the color of the perfume is too bright, "chemical", then this indicates a fake.

Also, there should be no sediment or small particles in the vial.

Price

It is important to understand that you can buy the original fragrance of the Versace brand only when you check all the components of the product. Branded packaging may hide a fake bottle, and a valid barcode does not guarantee the originality of the 100% product.

The correctness of the serial number can be checked on a special website for control batch code.

Being luxurious and being inaccessible are different principles. Gianni Versace I have always preferred the former in my work. Therefore, the main sign of a fake fragrance is its low price, which cannot be explained by discounts or sales. If you see perfumes with a price tag half the market value, then this is enough reason to doubt their originality.

Large volumes of perfume should be carefully checked, as counterfeiters love to fake such packages.

Before buying, you need to ask the seller how much a bottle of perfume costs. Fake goods will be sold at a reduced price.
