Buying Fragrances Online

The world of perfumes and colognes has always been a bit of a shady one when shopping around. In several cases since before the internet, fake fragrances have always seemed to come into circulation, with several being very difficult to tell apart from the real thing. Going after the name of the fragrance is what makes them so appealing in the first place, and if you can take the price and cut it down to about 20% of the real deal, you’re sure to catch a few lookers trying to save a couple of dollars. If you’re only out for the real fragrances when it comes to buying fragrances online, here are a few tricks to keep your guard up.

Stay Off of Auction Sites

Given the fact that auction sellers rely on feedback from other sellers, it’s very easy to obtain a high rating even if they are selling fake perfume. Whether they point it out or not, all the seller needs to do is deliver the goods, and they’ll usually lock up a positive review in no time. When they obtain enough of these, people often feel safer about making a purchase from them. But buying fragrances online at auction sites is almost always going to lead to you getting scammed.

Look for BBB Logos

Those businesses that have the Better Business Bureau seal on their site are often ones that are willing to boast about their product and quality of it. Additionally, these seals should have an external link to their listing within the BBB site that contains any complains that may have been filed against them. You can more than likely rest assured that any company that has an A+ rating is going to be selling the real deal when it comes to buying fragrances online.

Look for the Full Name

While several sites often simply go by the actual brand name, many fake sites often use shortened names or offbeat logos to help protect them from lawsuits. Make sure that your product doesn’t contain a shortened name. As an example, while you would buy a fragrance called Calvin Klein, you’d want to avoid a fragrance such as, simply, Calvin.

Buying fragrances online is just as easy as shopping for anything else. Provided you have the knowledge and know-how to protect yourself from the fake products that engulf the world of e-commerce, you can rest assured that you’ll be getting authentic fragrances from authorized dealers.

10 Ways to tell if your Perfume is Authentic

Amazingly 10% of ‘designer’ fragrances are considered to be counterfeit. As a woman how do you protect your investment when purchasing your favorite perfume? The following is a list of 10 things to look for so you don’t get scammed when you make your next perfume purchase. 1. Labeling The label on your perfume bottle should be impeccable. It should be perfectly aligned on the bottle and not have any imperfections in the label itself or the printing. 2. Essential Oils Real fragrances are made with essential oils. These oils do not go rancid and can last in your perfume bottle for up to 5 years. The perfume should not look oily, feel oily nor should it have a skim of oil on the top wherein you have to shake the perfume bottle to mix the oils. 3. Bottling Designer perfumes are packaged in designer bottles which have no imperfections such as bubbles in the glass or moulding marks; lines in the glass where the two half were moulded together. If you see any of these imperfections in the bottling do not purchase it as it is a counterfeit. 4. The Packaging Inspect the outside of the perfume box. Make sure you check the spelling carefully on the entire box. You would be amazed at how the counterfeits make one small spelling error that can be hard to find. The packaging should also be made of quality cardboard and the coloring should be consistent all around the box. The cellophane wrapping should be tight against the box and not loose or bubbly. There should not be any glue or tape residue inside of the box. 5. The Fragrance Itself Essential oils are sweet smelling and never bitter or sour. If you smell any type of bitterness or sourness in the perfume it isn’t real and don’t buy it. 6. Consistency and Color All perfumes should be clear in color. There should be no appearance of oils or separation of oil and liquid or any darkness or cloudiness. 7. Barcodes If you notice that there are barcodes on the inside bottom of the box as well as the outside bottom of the box, don’t purchase it as it is a counterfeit. Barcodes should only be located on the outside bottom of the box. 8. Sales of Large Quantities If you notice someone on-line selling large quantities of ‘designer’ perfume you can bet that they are counterfeit. 9. Only buy from Reputable Sellers Online Many fragrances are sold on-line at reduced prices. This will be your best indicator that the perfume is not real. Be especially suspicious about bargain buys and of course any sale that is too good to be true is just that. If the perfume is being sold for half of the cost it should be sold for avoid the purchase. 10. Inscriptions on the Bottle An authentic bottle of perfume will always have inscribed on it the country where the perfume was produced, the date of production, expiration date and the composition of the product. If these are absent on the bottle it’s a counterfeit. Make sure you read the inscriptions carefully as counterfeiters will add an extra letter to a name or leave a letter out. Example: Cool Winter instead of Cool Water or Genzo instead of Kenzo.

The World of Oriental Fragrances

There are several different perfume classifications that most, if not all products fit into in some way or another. While the style of each has somewhat changed over the last several years, the basic idea remains the same. One of the most popular styles of perfume is oriental. While the overall spectrum of oriental perfumes is broad, it can be broken down into several more specific classifications: floral oriental, soft oriental, vanilla oriental, spicy oriental, woody oriental, and fougere oriental. Floral Oriental Sweet and warm is often how the aroma of a floral oriental perfume is described. Many of these perfumes contain hints of gardenia, tuberose, or carnations. There are only a small handful of men’s fragrances that fall into this category, while most female fragrances are considered floral oriental. Soft Oriental Soft oriental perfumes are built on elements that revolve around spices, yet still give off a somewhat soft aroma. Incense and amber often come together in several of these unique combinations. The soft oriental perfume class is often considered one of the most ‘truly oriental’ of the four main classifications. Flower bases and spice scents are often the main ingredients in these perfumes as well. Vanilla Oriental The sweetest of oriental perfumes are generally classified into this category. Sweet elements like caramel, chocolate, honey, and of course vanilla are almost always considered a vanilla oriental perfume. They can also contain hints of wood, resins and flower aromas that work in synchronization with the sweeter odors to tone down the sweet aroma and give it more of a subtle smell. Spicy Oriental Elements that come from the foods we eat are often placed into the spicy oriental category. Common spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg are often combined with the universal aromas of woods and resins. Woody Oriental For the perfumes that don’t have sweet or spice-based elements and have more of a natural aroma, there is the woody oriental category. Most of these perfumes use wooden elements like sandalwood, cedar, or vetiver to create their warm and smooth aromas. While these perfumes can also contain other elements from other categories, the dominant odors always come from natural wood ingredients. Fougere Oriental Several aromas like rosemary, lavender, coumarin and oak moss, often not found in other oriental perfumes are generally placed into this oriental category. There are only a few perfumes available, as this category is generally meant for male fragrances.
