| HOW DO YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND 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. They have EXACTLY the same designers name, almost identical bottle, label, box (but contain less, inferior and dangerous substances!) and very similar fragrance! The bottles ON THE LEFT of each type on the image provided below were fakes. You can tell the difference on the box shape, design, colour, size and of course the longevity of the perfume scents.  Counterfeiting is a huge problem globally, with millions of counterfeit goods being produced and sold every year. It is estimated that up to10% 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 ADDICT, we only deal with respected and well established top tier suppliers and manufacturers. Our main supplier are from Singapore. 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, EXPIRED, REFILLED & EXPIRED 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. Some individual sellers in Malaysia who sells through forums, ebay, lelong and else takes the advantage of customer's lack of knowledge to sell fake items that are either replicas, refilled (they claim that it is reject or defected perfumes, thats why they comes with no box and cap), or old stocks that evaporates quickly when opened. But even worse, they sell it slightly lower than the original price, claiming that they are selling original but defected perfume with discounts. Don't get caught out. At PERFUME ADDICT, we make sure our perfume is FRESH, 100% ORIGINAL, and THE LOWEST PRICED POSSIBLE. How do we cut the price and provide the savings to you? As stated before, counterfeiters nowadays are capable of producing almost identical replicas of ALL the major leading perfume brands on the market today.So, with all the steps and measures taken to compare real from fake such as design, scents, bar codes etc, one step to make sure that the perfume is original is by measuring the logic in the price itself. Our perfumes were taken direct from the distribution house in New York City, U.S. This is where most of the brands certified distributors come from. All of the distribution process were done via online, which is the basic of our wholesale perfume business. We are able to cut unnecessary conventional cost such as advertising, warehouse, transportation, retail outlets rent, bulk purchase and labour cost by using PERFUME ADDICT as a medium of direct distribution (dropship system) from U.S to customers worldwide, which we have distributed to across Europe and rest of Asia. Some of our price were just slightly lower than the market price, it is because brands like CHANEL, CHRISTIAN DIOR, etc were considered exclusive brand, they controlled the perfume in a limited production only to their certified boutiques/shops, thus we could only get them at retail prices in U.S. Other brands like Calvin Klein and Davidoff for example mass produce their products and sell it to wider markets, so we could get their items at 30% - 70% discounts and provide the savings to you. Prices shown in our website is the lowest possible price anyone could get outside of USA in their respective countries, and if there are others who can sell it to you at cheaper price, they are either fake, replicas, refilled, rejected and defected. Sometimes they are real, depending where do they get their supplies from, and the authentication of their products needs to be evaluated. Last year alone China have exported USD 144 million worth of replica branded perfume to countries including Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and many more. To get cheaper price, some strategies is to buy in bulk, but in perfume trading it is not possible to buy in extra large quantities as the expiry date of perfumes are from 6 - 10 months depending on the storage method. OUR GUARANTEE OF SERVICES AND PRODUCTS EVERY delivery of perfume that arrives at PERFUME ADDICT is inspected first before we re-send it to our customers. This is to ensure that we deliver the best quality perfumes to our customers....100% ORIGINAL!! | |
