OUT for counterfeit perfumes in AUSTRALIA!
They have EXACTLY the same designers name, almost identical bottle,
label, box and very similar fragrance! The bottles on the left of
each type above were brought into our shop by concerned people.
We confirmed they are fakes. Apparently bought from street vendors,
and markets for under $20 each.

HOW CAN YOU TELL WHAT is FAKE?
It's not easy. Counterfeiters have become masters of their crime
with the aid of modern digital imaging and printing techniques.
They are capable of producing almost identical replicas of ALL the
major leading perfume brands on the market today. As a consumer
you may never really know, UNTIL you experience the actual fragrance
which may be close to but not exactly as it should. You'll discover
that the perfume does NOT last as long, perhaps as little as one
hour instead of half a day or longer as is the case with original
designer perfume.

- Verification Service
Do you need a perfume verified for its authenticity? Often
with disputes involving purchases placed on web sites such as 'eBay',
or perhaps paid for with a method such as 'Pay Pal', you are required
to obtain a reputable third party opinion.
We are able to help you. Perfume.com.au can be that reputable third
party you need.
Note: This used to be a free service, but due to the dozens of requests
we receive weekly, we've had to introduce a $40 fee which helps
to cover costs such as handling, return delivery & packaging
etc. The perfume will be returned to you with our written opinion.
To proceed, you need to send us the perfume with as much information
as you can. e.g. Where you obtained it from, how much you paid,
what makes you think it could be fake etc. (Include credit card
details or a money order for the $40 fee).

Counterfeit cosmetics challenge market.
Counterfeiting is a huge problem globally, with millions of counterfeit
goods being produced and sold every year. It is estimated that up
to 10% of perfumes and toiletries in the market place are
fakes...
HEALTH RISKS
Counterfeit perfume does not undergo the usual safety standards
that are applied to all cosmetics and toiletries around the world.
When cheaper, inferior ingredients are used, these may cause allergic
reactions in people with sensitive skin and could also stain garments.

SOURCE OF SUPPLY
At perfume.com.au™ we only deal with respected and well established
top tier suppliers and manufacturers around the world. We do NOT
buy from market stall holders, backyard importers, suspect overseas
web sites, eBay or anyone that we have not verified as legitimate.
This further ensures that we only sell 100% original designer perfumes
as made by the authorised manufacturers.
BEWARE OF OLD STOCK and STALE PERFUME
Perfume does deteriorate. The time period depends on temperature,
light and length of storage. Sometimes when stores close down, they
SELL OUT their old perfume stock. These typically end up in auctions,
and discount shops/web sites at very cheap prices. Don't get caught
out. At perfume.com.au™ we make sure our perfume is FRESH, not old.
