Secrets to detect a good perfume

When buying a perfume, do not form an opinion for the first few seconds, wait a few minutes, and analyze if the smell has not dissipated so quickly, and also if it still smells good. So that you do not have any doubts that you are buying an excellent quality perfume, follow the following recommendations:

The smell continues after a few minutes

If when you are testing the quality of a perfume it disperses in a few minutes, you should know that it is not a good quality fragrance, because it means that it has a low concentration of essences. Surely you want your new perfume to be noticed by everyone, and for the fragrance to be dazzled as you walk, which will cause a very good first impression in important situations. That is why you must verify that you will have a perfume that smells for at least 4 hours.

Check that it does not cause irritation on your skin

Obtaining small samples of the perfume that you want to buy is essential to prove that it does not cause any type of allergenic reaction or irritation on your skin. This, more than indicating that it is a quality perfume, is a precautionary measure so as not to suffer inconveniences that in the long term can be more serious. If after using it for a few weeks you do not have any reaction from your skin, it means that it is an act perfume for you.

Check the case

Fragrances that have a good quality, take care in addition to their smell, offering their customers good packaging, is the way to offer a good experience from the beginning. If the packaging is in good condition, it has no bumps or stains, it is an indication that the product will also be of good quality.

the bottle

The perfume bottle will help you know if its manufacture is of good quality. If you find edges with millimeters of unevenness between the joints of the bottle, it does not offer much confidence. As if the bottle is not completely transparent, since low-quality fragrances, the bottles are usually made with alloys, which change the color of the glass. On the contrary, to high-quality perfumes where the glass is generally transparent, so much so that the color of the perfume can be observed.

Know if a perfume is original

Now, you may be wondering: how to identify an original perfume from a fake one? It is time to know the most important criteria when buying a perfume from a recognized brand. There are imitations very similar to the original, which are even only detected by those who have years in the sector or who know the smell of a popular fragrance. This is what you should take into account to detect if a perfume is original:

Shop at stores with high reviews

This is the best guarantee to buy insurance on the internet. If you know someone who has bought their perfume in that place, much better. On the Internet, the general problem is not being able to try perfumes before buying them, so the best reliability is that the website has reviews above 4.5/5 and that the reviews are verified.

Also, look for customer reviews and look at photos of the actual products received.

Check the packaging very well

The packaging will be the first thing you can examine in a perfume, in this, you should observe the signs of deterioration, such as having a paper in poor condition, with wrinkles, small cuts or signs of manipulation.

Look at the labels

The label is another fundamental factor. Analyze if the label is crooked or badly attached, about to come off, this will give you clues. The law stipulates that the main components must be indicated on the labels.

The smell of a poor quality perfume

A fake perfume can be deceiving in the first few minutes because the top notes are often sharp, but a few minutes later is when you can tell the difference. It will be of poor quality or far from your expectation. A fake perfume, especially on the skin, will not have a pleasant evolution over time.

In a good quality aroma and with natural extracts, like the ones you'll find at OK Perfumes, even a non-expert nose can notice and differentiate notes. The naturalness of the perfume makes it easy to perceive, for example, notes of lemon or cinnamon, as everyone is familiar with them.

Be careful, because often fake fragrances will not be made with good quality raw materials and could be harmful, even toxic and allergenic, because they are built without respecting the laws (IFRA) in force. And, above all, they will not have been put to the test.
