Be on the lookout for fake and counterfeit perfumes from within Australia and especially abroad!

They will have exactly the same designers name, almost identical bottle, box, label and very similar fragrance!

You cannot go on price alone, we have heard of some customers actually paying the same price or more for fakes when they believed it to be the genuine product!

How will you know what is a fake or fraud?

Counterfeiters have become experts in deception and with the aid of modern digital imagery and technical enhancement and modern printing techniques. It's not easy.

These criminals are quite capable of producing almost identical “knock-offs” of all of the leading brand perfumes. It is unfortunate, but as a consumer you may never really know, that is until you experience the actual fragrance (or lack of) which may, on rare occasions, be close to but not exactly as it should be.

You will quickly discover that the perfume does not last very long, perhaps as little as one hour, instead of the many hours you have come to expect with original designer perfume.

Are counterfeit or fraudulent products really that common?

Counterfeiting and fraud is a huge global problem. Millions of counterfeit and fraudulent goods being produced every year.  These are sold to customers who are paying good money, believing they are buying a genuine product, but are unfortunately are being deceived.

Recent estimates suggest that almost 10% of perfumes and toiletries in the market are fakes or fraudulent!

What about your health and the risks?

The most concerning underlying problem with fakes are the associated health risks.

The worrying issues for the consumer is that fake or fraudulent perfume does not undergo the strict safety standards that are applied to all cosmetics and toiletries around the world.

It is a known and concerning fact that when cheaper and inferior ingredients are used, these may cause allergic reactions in people with sensitive skin and cause dermatological issues for the user.

No genuine products can also damage clothing.
