How to tell an original perfume sample from a fake
Unfortunately, the perfume market also attracts counterfeiters. And while full bottles are a frequent target for counterfeiters, fake perfume samples are also appearing more and more frequently. That's why it's good to know how to distinguish the original from a copy. In this article, we'll show you practical tips on what to look out for and how to shop safely.
Buy verified perfume samples →1. What is an original perfume sample?
There are two types of original samples:
- Official sample from the manufacturer – mini vial or miniature in original packaging.
- Decant (decanted sample) – perfume decanted from the original bottle into a smaller atomizer.
Both are genuine if they come from a verified source. The only difference is whether it is an original mini package from the brand or a decant poured from a full bottle.
2. How to recognize a fake sample?
When buying from unverified websites, bazaars or marketplaces, there is a risk of counterfeiting. Here are some signs to look out for:
- Strange color of the liquid – the original has a clearly defined shade, the fake may be too dark/light.
- Suspicious smell – if it disappears after a few minutes, it is probably a fake.
- Cheap or poor quality atomizers – bad atomizer, leaky cap.
- Price too low – if the offer is suspiciously cheap, it is a warning sign.
- No references – the seller has no reviews or history.
3. The difference between an original decant and a fake
The original decant is poured from a certified bottle into a sterile, clean atomizer. The fake, on the other hand, is a mixture of cheap ingredients that try to imitate the original. The original stays on the skin for hours, the fake disappears within 30 minutes.
