Have you ever been afraid of buying a perfume and finding out it’s fake? Don’t worry anymore, because at Zimaxx we love making sure our customers always receive the best. For this reason, today we’re going to teach you how to become a “perfume detective” with these 9 very simple tips.

1. The Plastic Wrap (Cellophane):
Imagine you’re wrapping a very special gift. The plastic on a genuine perfume is perfectly sealed, smooth, and without wrinkles. If you see loose plastic, messy wrapping, or something that looks like it was glued with school glue—be careful!

2. The Box Is Sturdy:
Original perfume boxes are made from very strong, high-quality cardboard. Inside the box, the perfume has a cardboard “little bed” that keeps it from moving.
Do this test: shake the box. If you hear the bottle dancing around or hitting the sides, it might be a copy.

3. Twin Numbers (Batch Code):
All perfumes have a secret number. This number appears on the bottom of the box and is also engraved on the bottle.
What should you do? Check both numbers—they must be exactly the same. If they’re different, it’s not original.

4. The “Invisible Straw” (Tube):
Look at the little tube inside the perfume (where the liquid goes up). In original perfumes, this tube is very thin and almost invisible. In fakes, it’s usually thick, white, and very long.

5. The Cap Is Heavy and Fits Well:
In luxury perfumes, the cap matters. It usually has a bit of weight and makes a perfect “click” when you put it on, or it snaps on like a magnet. If the cap is made of very light plastic or falls off easily, doubt the perfume.

6. The Bubble Test:
Here comes the fun part—shake the bottle a little and watch the bubbles.
Original: bubbles form and disappear quickly (within the time it takes to count to ten).
Fake: bubbles last for a long time.

7. The Glass Is Smooth:
The original bottle is smooth, polished, and made from a single piece. Copies often have lines on the sides or bubbles inside the glass that feel rough.

8. The Scent Changes Over Time (Like a Movie):
A real perfume is like a movie with a beginning, middle, and end. At first it smells one way, after an hour it smells a bit different, and by the end of the day it smells soft and subtle. Copies always smell the same and fade quickly (in less than an hour).

9. Use Your Phone! (2026 Technology):
Nowadays, almost all original perfumes have a special code (like a QR code or a chip) that can be read with your phone. If you scan it and it takes you to the brand’s official website saying “Authentic Product,” you’re safe!
